Unique History

This Ambleside holiday cottage was originally built to house staff working in Skelwith Manor, until it was demolished in the 1950s to make way for what would become the premier holiday park it is today. We’ve worked hard to retain many of the original features, including oak beams and slate walls during to fit-out process, to seamlessly blend old and new interior design styles.

For your comfort, the cottage has been heated with a modern and energy efficient boiler to keep you warm and cosy throughout the year. We have also installed the latest mod cons to help you enjoy your stay. There is a Google Nest device in the kitchen to help around the house. Use in alongside our Skelwith Advantage app to help find out more about the many local attractions in the area.

High Spec Interior

Throughout Number Three we added top quality fixtures and fittings to ensure you have a luxury stay. From the large TV in the living room for a relaxing evening after a day in the Lakes, to the heated mirrors in the bathrooms, everything is geared to helping you have an unforgettable stay.
