“The most exciting time in our twenty-five-year history.”
That is how a Cumbrian caravan park owner described the reopening of his family business yesterday.
After months of closure, the 130-acre Skelwith Fold park near the shores of Windermere was once again able to welcome back customers as part of the Government’s lockdown easing.
“We have been preparing for this day for months, and have even taken on extra staff to help apply the extensive safety measures we have put in place,” said Henry Wild, director and owner of the park.
“But everyone’s hard work has paid off, and the smiles on our guests’ faces as they returned has been a fantastic tonic after their long and much-missed absence.
“The park’s 400-plus glamping, touring and holiday home pitches will all be very busy from now until the end of the season, and some summer weeks are already almost full.
“However, we are operating our motorhome and touring caravan pitches at around three-quarters of their capacity, just to ensure an extra element of social distancing.
“Guests will also notice other changes, such as contactless check-ins, regular fogging of public areas, and our shop closed in the middle of the day for additional in-depth cleansing.”
Skelwith Fold provides glamping accommodation, including fully equipped safari tents, plus pitches for motorhomes and touring caravans, and holiday homes to own.
