Lake Windermere
Near the one and only Lake District in Cumbria, our caravan holidays at Lakeland Leisure Park have everything you've come to expect from a quality Haven break. An indoor and outdoor swimming pool, plus our very own water sports centre for kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding and pedalos. There's also a modern Marina Lounge entertainment venue, and we're opening a brand-new J D Wetherspoon pub! If you decide to spend time away from the park, head for the stunning lakes and peaks of the Lake District National Park.

We went during half term and overall it was an amazing break. Loved the facilities however the layout of the main building is not be best. 1 narrow hallway between the arcade and the Wetherspoons which you have to brush past people and when its really busy that can become unbearable. Also the way to access the reception for swimming is not thought out well at all. What i will say though is that the cafe next to the Lake on the other side of the site is brilliant.
The food on site was amazing every night and the general site and the caravan we stayed in was brilliant.
Most of the staff were amazing and couldn't be more helpful apart from the girl who was on the front desk for swimming on Tuesday the 27th. She acted like she hated her job and didnt want to be there, she also had no issues with people jumping the queue for swimming and even went on to serve them first much to the annoyance of not just me but the other guests that were queueing. On the other end of that scale, both the reception staff and site security were absolutely amazing and deserve praise for going above and beyond helping us.
Overall, I would be more than happy to go back and recommend the place to others.
We dont drive so had to get the train to Cark & Cartmel. Its a pretty easy 40 min walk from the station to the site and we as a family did enjoy it so if you dont drive and the thought of the walk is putting you off, I would say go for it because its all worth it when you get there.

We had a lovely stay in the Lakeland Signature caravan. Overall, the caravan was comfortable, clean, and well presented, and we really enjoyed our time there. The location and general atmosphere were great, and we would happily consider staying again.
There were just a few things that could be improved. Unfortunately, there was no dishwasher, which would have been very useful during our stay. We also found the bedrooms quite small, with limited space.
Another issue was the lack of lighting on the balcony, which made it difficult to use the outdoor area in the evening. I contacted the team about this, but unfortunately nobody came to check or try to resolve the problem.
Despite these issues, we enjoyed our stay overall and hope these points can be addressed to make the experience even better for future guests.

Very Disappointing Stay – Would Not Recommend
Unfortunately, our stay at Haven Lakeland Holiday Park was extremely disappointing. The caravan smelled unpleasant, the cupboards were dirty, and there was dog hair everywhere, even inside the oven. The fridge was dirty, and the freezer was completely full of ice, leaving us with no proper space to store our own food.
The windows were filthy, and there were cobwebs hanging around. The most concerning issue was the light fitting, which was hanging from the ceiling by the cable alone. This looked unsafe and raised serious concerns about the condition and safety of the accommodation.
We were very disappointed with the cleanliness and overall standard of the caravan. We paid for accommodation that we expected to be clean, comfortable and safe, but unfortunately, this was far from our experience.
Our holiday was ruined, and we ended up returning home earlier than planned. This is not the standard of accommodation we expected from Haven. Based on our experience, we would not recommend this caravan, and we would think twice before booking with Haven again.
Haven should take more responsibility for inspecting and cleaning its accommodation properly before guests arrive. Customers deserve better than this, especially when they are paying for a family holiday.

This was our 2nd visit here this year. The first trip was great. We paid for the holiday pass cards, but we only used it once to go into the marina bar and stage.
We didn't find it entertaining and as we're unable to get the most value out of them, we opted to not get them this time.
As usual the caravan was large with easy access ramp, and the large wet room is great for personal hygiene. The beds oh my god they're so comfy. I even looked into the company to get one, but they only sell to hospitality places and they don't sell to Joe public 🤬.
On this visit the caravan was clean and tidy, over the week, we did find items that the cleaners missed, it wasn't dirt they missed, but someone's items ie a baby's dummy.
The microwave that we had wasn't in a useable state due to it being damaged. I reported it at 9pm and in the morning after I reported it they rang me to arrange a replacement. Within 2 hours someone came and replaced it with a brand new one.
So we couldn't fault them on it as I don't think the cleaners have there time to open up the kitchen appliances to check that they were clean.
👍 Very good service from haven.

The Haven site itself wasn't great to be honest, the wetherspoons food is as good as other wetherspoons however there was no special feel about the place. The little shop has good gifts & toys, but the general items were overpriced as to be expected.
The portions in fish and chip shop are horrendous, especially the fish and sides. The fish is not even big enough to class as a child's size and when we ordered the meal deal for 4 people the 2 tiny sides and 2 tiny slithers of fish were meant to split between 4 of us (there were also chips and sausages with it but can't really complain about those).
We stayed in a private caravan though which was lovely!! Everything we could have needed was supplied, they were great hosts.
