Simply The Best

Newly-opened luxury resort Ullswater Heights has a simple but clear mission – to be the UK’s best holiday park.
Situated on the site of an abandoned quarry at Newbiggin, Penrith, this stunning new location on the edge of the Lake District officially opened its doors to customers in July, promising new standards in UK self-catering.
Just six miles from Ullswater and 40 minutes from Windermere, it’s not hard to see why the park’s owners – five-star resort operators Leisure Resorts - chose this spot for their £20m new location and why they believe it should be considered among the best in Britain.
Set around 70 acres of landscaped gardens and an eight-acre lake, the park features 74 one to four bed luxury lodges and 10 one and two-storey centrally heated glamping tents - all of which come complete with their own decking and steamy hot tubs.
There’s an on-site farm and a playground for the little ones, while the Lake House Bar and Restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and serves a menu featuring locally sourced Lakeland produce and ingredients.

LURE OF LAKES
Leisure Resorts director Grant Gidman says the range of topquality accommodation and facilities on offer reflects the varied customer base the park expects to attract. “The lure of the Lakes is undeniable - whether it’s families wanting to get their kids out and about, groups of friends on a walking holiday or couples looking for an indulgent romantic break, this incredible area has it all - but that doesn’t mean ‘average’ is going to be good enough when it comes to where they stay,” says Grant. “Customers quite rightly expect more and more from their staycation these days, and that’s why we’re doing everything we can to make a stay at Ullswater Heights as memorable as possible.”
Guests who really want to live the high life will soon be able to have their every whim catered for by indulging in the park’s concierge service. Transport arrangements, restaurant reservations and entertainment bookings will all be taken care of, as the park looks to make good on its commitment to premium customer service.
It’s a quality mark Leisure Resorts are backing with investment in a 40-strong Ullswater team, led by General Manager, Laura Corner, who has been brought in from sister park Aysgarth Lodges to make sure standards exceed expectations.
That means for pets as well as their owners - Ullswater Heights is dog-friendly with cosy beds, water bowls and dog toys available free of charge. There’s also dedicated bins dotted around the park to make dog walking as stress-free as possible.
Leisure Resorts initially had no intention of including holiday lets at the park, but it thought again when bookings for sister park Aysgarth Lodges did so well through self-catering specialist Hoseasons.
Gidman says working with the firm famous for its luxury hot tub breaks is one of the best decisions the business has made since being set up by former Park Leisure boss Gary Molloy in 2017.

LODGE LOCATIONS
He says: “The team at Hoseasons have been so integral to our success at Aysgarth that bringing them on board here was a complete no brainer. The relationship is evolving all the time and now we’ve got to know them I can’t imagine what it would be like without them.”
Ullswater Heights, like Aysgarth Lodges, is part of Hoseasons’ luxury Evermore Lodge Holidays Collection - an exclusive range of 23 hot tub lodge locations designed for families and groups of friends to relax and spend quality time together in beautiful surroundings.
This investment at Ullswater comes at a time when Hoseasons says it is, for the first time ever, selling more holidays with hot tubs than without. The company has seen a 20% increase in the number of hot tub holidays it has sold in 2019, compared to the same time last year.
Holiday lodge rentals at Ullswater Heights start from £464 per week and range up to £2,200 for the most luxurious rentals at peak times.
