South Lakeland Leisure Village

South Lakeland Leisure Village sits on the Lancashire and Cumbria border, with the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales both within about half an hour. The park is built around a central lake and a few smaller ones, and the holiday lodges are scattered along their banks. Most are privately owned, but a good number are let for short breaks, from two to four bedrooms, with a sun deck, fitted kitchen, wifi and gas and electric included.

Guests have the park's leisure complex on hand: a lakeside bar and restaurant, an indoor heated pool, a gym, steam room and beauty spa, a fishing lake and a play area. Some lodges have lake views, some have private hot tubs, and a few take pets. It is run by Pure Leisure Group, which also owns Hall More and Fell End nearby.
