Skelwith Fold Caravan Park - Self Catering
About
If you’re looking for luxury Lake District holiday cottages to rent in the very heart of the National Park, then the Skelwith Fold Cottages are just what you need! Situated at the edge of the former Lakeland palatial estate of Skelwith Fold Manor, our self-catering cottages provide a convenient base from which to explore The Lakes.
Escape to Skelwith Fold for an unforgettable stay in the heart of the Lake District National Park. Our luxury self-catering accommodation is ideally suited to families, friends or couples looking to enjoy a well-earned break in the great outdoors.
Our Ambleside holiday rentals are available to book year round and are comfortable, whatever the weather. Spend cosy evenings in front of the fire in the winter or quality family time outside when it’s nice and warm.
We have 3 holiday cottages to rent in Lake District for you to choose from – all finished to a high standard with luxury soft furnishings and modern fixtures and fittings throughout. We’ve worked hard to create welcoming properties that are clean and modern, without loosing any of their original character or charm.
Two of the cottages are dog friendly, so you can treat your four-legged friend to a pet friendly holiday in the Lake District. All of our holiday cottages have private hot tubs where you can sit back and relax at the end of a busy day.
