Luxury Lake District Breaks by Ben Holloway

Holiday parks are increasingly becoming a popular destination for a short break away, or the ideal destination for owning your own holiday home. If you are looking for a hassle free escape with five star facilities then a holiday park is right for you.
More people are now choosing to holiday in the UK to avoid the hassle and fuss of airports and flying. The Lake District can offer you this escape with only a short drive or rail journey.
The Lake District in Cumbria is one of the most popular destinations with its laid back way of life and gorgeous mountain scenery offering hundreds of things to see and do for every age.
When deciding where to stay in the Lakes many people choose South Lakeland Parks which is one of the biggest holiday park companies in the area offering luxury lodge or caravan holiday accommodation. They have spent millions of pounds upgrading its superb parks in the last year.
It offers three family friendly five star holiday parks in this most prized corner of England. Two of their parks sit on the spectacular banks of Lake Windermere, England's longest lake, Fallbarrow and White Cross Bay Leisure Park. Its other five star location, Limefitt Park, sits in the picturesque Troutbeck Valley which has its own tranquil river and is surrounded by soaring fells.
White Cross Bay is perfectly placed between the attractive towns of Bowness and Ambleside and is a superb choice for the family. A fully-serviced park but tranquil enough to feel you are in the wilderness yet sufficiently near the buzz of the Lakes. White Cross Bay is set in an area of outstanding beauty, directly on the lake shore, with resident deer, squirrels and rabbits. On park facilities include a sumptuous a-la-carte restaurant, beer garden, lounge bar, a spacious indoor-heated swimming pool and sauna, tennis courts, gym, children's play area, picnic area and charming woodland and lakeside walks.
Fallbarrow Park is on the doorstep to the bustling village of Bowness-on-Windermere but is secluded enough to offer you peace, quiet and relaxation. Offering some of the best views of Lake Windermere it is the perfect place to discover the Lake District being close to the Windermere ferries, local tourist attractions, bars and clubs. Facilities include an onsite bar, café, deli, shop, outdoor children's play area, games room and facilities to launch boats.
Limefitt truly has to be seen to be appreciated, surrounded by mountains and set in its own grounds, it is the perfect place for you and the family to unwind. With its own river skirting the park you can relax in the onsite Lakeland pub. Limefitt is close enough for days out in Windermere, Ullswater and Bowness. The site also offers great opportunities for fell walking, pony trekking and fishing nearby.
Make no mistake, whether it is Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter, there's always a good reason to visit the Lakes. Choosing to holiday here or to purchase a holiday home will certainly enhance your families' leisure time.
