If you’re going to base yourself at South Lakeland, with Windermere, Coniston, and the Arnside & Silverdale AONB all within 30 minutes, you want somewhere that feels good to come back to. The Swift Margaux earns that.
Brand new for 2025, the exterior sets the tone: warm oak woodgrain cladding, anthracite grey windows, black downpipes. It looks considered rather than corporate. Inside, the kitchen is the centrepiece, a full U-shaped layout with marble-effect worktops and integrated appliances, including a dishwasher. The kind of kitchen you actually cook in, not just look at.
The living area is light-filled with large front windows, and the master bedroom has a king-size bed with lift-up storage underneath and a Duvalay mattress. En-suite WC and a separate main shower room keep mornings practical for four people.
South Lakeland is Pure Leisure’s flagship park, and the facilities reflect that. The Waters Edge Bar & Restaurant sits on the lakeside with its own decking means somewhere to eat without driving anywhere. There’s a heated indoor pool, gym, steam room, and a beauty spa on-site. Fishing on the lake if you want it. Windermere, Coniston, and the market towns of the Dales are all within 30 minutes. It’s one of the few parks in the region that gives you genuine access to both national parks from a single base.
