Play Area & Recreational Area

Our modern play area is professionally designed and is a brilliant place to burn off any excess energy or to meet a few new friends. Our play area is located in the recreational field which is adjacent to the main park and is free from traffic. The fall surface is specially designed to offer maximum safety.

Another unique benefit of the play area (not that the children ever seem to notice) is that this area of the park offers some incredible views of Bassenthwaite Lake (especially from the top of the climbing wall).

The play area is located within the recreational field which is a great place for a game of football. This area also has a bench and picnic table (to catch you breath!).

In addition to the play and recreation area there are also swings adjacent to the holiday caravans.

Laundry & Tourist Information Room

The Laundry & Tourist Information room offers a clean and modern facility with semi-commercial washing machine, dryer and ironing facilities. While you are waiting for your laundry there are tourist information and leaflets on many local points of interest for all ages, allowing you to plan your next day of sight-seeing. If you require information which isn’t available please feel free to contact us, we would be delighted to assist in anyway we can.

Telephone & Internet Room

Here, yes you guessed, you can make a phone call with the pay phone, but you can also use this area to access the wireless internet connection to check your email surf the net or update your Facebook by using your laptop or tablet computer on the desk. The wireless internet also covers the outside areas around reception so you can also use your computer on the picnic tables around this area.

Dog Walking Field

The four acre dog walking field is adjacent to the holiday lodge area of the park. The area is long grass with a mown path, in this area dogs are also allowed to be let off the lead. Our Dog Walking field also provides some great views over the Solway Firth toward Dumfries.

Recycling

Recycling is very important to us here at Skiddaw View and we encourage all of our guests to recycle as much as possible. The recycling point is located opposite the reception and here we offer facilities for the recycling of Paper, Glass (clear, green and brown), Tin as well as Plastic. In addition to this recycling we also have composting bins, which are near Millie’s house (the park goat). However please be warned she will try and attract your attention especially if you are about to put some tasty veg in the compost bin (especially banana skins!).
