Britain’s most Romantic Holiday Park Retreats Open in Cumbria

The passion is in-tents as Britain’s most romantic holiday park retreats open in Cumbria. Lovers of all ages are being invited to lay back into a Lake District glamping break like no other, thanks to the holiday park voted this year’s best in Cumbria.

Just in time for autumn breaks, Skelwith Fold near Ambleside has thrown open the flaps on a new collection of two-person safari tents promising a uniquely intimate experience.

Sited at one of the highest and most remote locations in the park’s 130-acre grounds, they offer stunning Lakeland views – and an equally breathtaking line-up of luxury features.

Each safari tent has its own private hot tub on the furnished balcony where couples can relax and enjoy the sounds of nature without being overlooked by other guests.

Inside, a host of pampering touches await including a queen-size bedroom and a bed made up with hotel quality linen, plus a spacious bathroom with power-shower.

The safari tent’s kitchen is fully equipped and even includes a dishwasher, while the living area includes top-end furnishings, smart TV, breakfast bar and a flame-effect heater.

Henry Wild, whose park this year beat over 100 contenders to become Cumbria Tourism’s park of the year, says he is aiming to create the ultimate romantic get-away:

“These are tents by name and are indeed made from canvas and timber – but the vibe is much closer to a luxury honeymoon-style suite overlooking the glorious Langdales,” he said.

“And the views don’t disappear in the evenings because, on clear nights, Cumbria’s famous dark skies will reveal a heavenly galaxy of stars rarely glimpsed elsewhere in the UK.

“Guests will enjoy a real sense of intimacy and togetherness in an away-from-it-all atmosphere, but with an espresso machine and other necessities close at hand!” said Henry.

Couples, however, will be able to stay connected with the outside world through wi-fi available in the safari tents, and plug sockets and charging points.

Much of the power in the tents, says Henry, is generated on the park itself via high-efficiency solar panels which have made Skelwith Fold largely self-sufficient in green energy.

The Wild family, which has owned Skelwith Fold for over 25 years, has won a number of awards for its care of the natural world and received praise for its sustainable development policies.
