Fallbarrow Holiday Park in the Lake District is around 90 minutes’ drive from Manchester and is a big hit with families and couples alike
The February half term is fast approaching, and if you’re planning a family getaway, Fallbarrow Holiday Park could be just the ticket. Located just 90 minutes from Manchester on the shores of Lake Windermere, this holiday park is a hit with both families and couples.
Fallbarrow Holiday Park, described as ‘a perfect retreat for families and couples seeking a blend of relaxation and adventure’, is nestled in the heart of the Lake District National Park, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It offers direct access to the lake and all the activities it has to offer.
The Parkdean Resorts park features caravans and lodges, including options with hot tubs and pet-friendly accommodations. For the little ones, there’s an outdoor playground, a multi-use games area, and an amusement arcade.
The park also boasts its own bar and restaurant, The Willow, as well as a cafe and shop. Live entertainment and music are occasionally hosted at the park, with an enhanced programme during school holidays.
Fallbarrow is one of 23 Parkdean parks that received the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award for 2024, boasting an impressive overall rating of 4.5/5 on the website, reports the Manchester Evening News.
A chuffed holidaymaker who stayed at the park last month left a glowing five-star review, saying: “Spent a lovely week here despite the weather warnings. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The park was tidy with convenient parking.”
“Great location to explore Bowness and Windermere. But also convenient for the rest of The Lake District, too.”
Equally impressed, another visitor dished out five stars following a summer visit and commented: “The site is very well maintained. Reception staff are very welcoming and helpful. 5 minute walk from the hustle and bustle of Bowness.”
“This site is just perfect and quiet, every cabin/lodge is less than a minute walk away from the lake. Secure dog exercise area alongside the lake. Little park for the kids next to a beautiful looking restaurant called The Willow.”
