Self Catering Holiday Parks in the Lake District

When booking a self catering holiday one of the key things to bear in mind is whether there are places to buy food from or places to eat out nearby. The Lake District is full of shops that sell the very best local produce and is also home to some incredible places to eat.


Like many areas of the UK which have traditionally relied on farming as one of the main industries, the Lake District is blessed with great food products. The producers range from small, local artisan operations with a small-scale enterprise to brands that are known nationally and internationally, like the famous Kendal Mint Cake.


South Lakeland Parks operate three self catering holiday parks in the Lake District, White Cross Bay, Fallbarrow and Limefitt, each with on-site eateries and shops and are not too far away from local shops and restaurants.


White Cross Bay is home to a newly refurbished restaurant and lounge bar, The Flying Boat.

There is also a fast food takeaway with a full range of meals to cater for your every need as you unwind as the day draws to an end. There is also a shop within the park grounds where you'll be able to pick up the essentials.

At Fallbarrow you'll find The Boathouse restaurant as well as a takeaway, not to mention an ultra stylish licensed Café and Deli serving locally produced items along with a fully stocked shop selling fresh local produce.


Limefitt offers a cosy Lakeland pub, The Haybarn that offers a superb range of meals and a selection of Cumberland ales served for your enjoyment.

There is also a small shop at Limefitt that stocks everyday essentials.

Both White Cross Bay and Fallbarrow are close to Bowness where you'll find a range of restaurants, cafés and shops so however long you're staying for, you'll have plenty of choice. Limefitt is near to Ambleside where again you'll find a wide range of restaurants, cafés and shops.


If you're thinking of booking a self catering holiday in the Lake District, then look no further than the self catering holidays available at the holiday parks operated by South Lakeland Parks.
