Excellent base for lakes

“Excellent base for lakes”

Excellent holiday park, easy seamless booking and registration/checkin when onsite. Caravan spotless (we booked a Delux Plus) it was lovely and clean and very spacious, offered everything we needed. We were a family - 2 parents, a 2 year old and 2 grandparents - so I did think 4 adults and a little one would feel cramped. But no, plenty of space.
Great base for the Lakes, steam train at Haverthwaite a must for all the family - goes direct to Windermere Lakeside - so can catch a boat then into Ambleside if wanted, or just go in the Aquarium at the end of the railway. Great ways to entertain children (especially as was raining!).
Didn't use much on the site, only the shop. We used the local chippy in Flukeborough village for yummy fish n chips made to order. We went to 'live lounge' one evening, which is pretty much typical holiday park entertainment - we didn't take the 2 year old as tucked up in bed, with grandp's kindly watching him. So was good for a couple of hours, lots of children running around, so would have been good for older children.
A bit sneaky in that have to walk THROUGH the arcade, before get to the restaurant, bar/pub or the 'live lounge' so imagine its expensive with children.
All in all, great caravan and base for the Lakes and local tourist attractions.
