Are dogs allowed in Grizedale Forest?

Yes, Grizedale Forest is dog friendly. It’s a fantastic place to take your four-legged friend during a holiday in The Lakes. There are miles of scenic dogs walks to follow through the forest. The trails cut through stunning scenery and offer beautiful views of the surrounding landscape. Dogs are allowed to run and play off lead, but must be kept under close control to protect the wildlife. The onsite visitor centre and café is also dog friendly.

Are dogs and other pets allowed?

Skelwith Fold is a dog friendly park and pets are welcome in most areas, with a maximum of three dogs per touring caravan/motorhome.

Please note however, that dogs may not stay in our glamping units, with the exception of our Wagtail Hideaway which is dog friendly and can host up to two dogs.

Up to two dogs may also stay in both our holiday cottages, No.1 and No.3.

There is a small charge per dog staying with us at Skelwith Fold which helps to maintain the highest standard of stay for both dogs and people staying with us.

Please keep dogs on a short lead under strict control around all touring pitches, holiday homes and glamping units. Dogs may not be left unattended anywhere on the park at any time, including inside your accommodation. Please note that you are responsible for your pets at all time, including cleaning up after them and keeping noise to a minimum to avoid disturbing other guests.

We reserve the right to ask the owner of any dog which causes a nuisance or threat to remove it from the park immediately. We cannot accept any breeds listed under the Dangerous Dogs Act.

The hardstanding pitches are to keep the pitches available and clean throughout the season for you to enjoy your stay at Skelwith Fold.

Are static holiday homes well built?

Very much so. Almost all caravan holiday homes are made in Britain by one of around five leading manufacturers such as ABI and Swift. All of which recognise that quality is the key to customer satisfaction.

The standard of workmanship throughout holiday homes will be extremely high, and many traditional craftsman’s skills are used in the building process. Fittings, such as the carpeting, furnishings and kitchen equipment are all of excellent quality, and there will be a good level of insulation allowing the holiday home to warm up quickly when you arrive, and to stay snug with the help of thermostatically controlled heating.

Are the holiday cottages dog friendly?

Number One and Number Three Skelwith Fold Cottages each allow two dogs (charges apply) and have provided a large dog crate, bowl and basket and towel. We kindly request you do not allow your pets on any furniture in either cottage.

When you buy a holiday home at Skelwith Fold, you will be provided with an officially approved written agreement which will help ensure peace of mind in the years ahead. Within the agreement will be the all-important assurance of tenure: the right, in other words, to occupy the holiday home pitch for a given period of time – which in this case is 14 years. Other areas covered by the agreement include the frequency and level of increases in pitch fees for which at least three months’ notice is given. We are particularly proud that the majority of holiday home owners at Skelwith Fold stay with us for many years (sometimes even decades!). The quality of the park has a big part to play, of course – but so too, we like to think, does the strong emphasis we put on maintaining excellent customer relations. As a prospective buyer or existing owner, you are always welcome to talk with us on any matter, and our aim will always be to provide an answer which will meet with your satisfaction.

The mansion’s demise also meant the rebirth of the park. After much love and investment over the years it has slowly become what everyone knows it and loves it for – a wonderful holiday park that is the ‘happy place’ for so many people.
