STUNNING. Very beautiful and tranquil place. Good for relaxing but also good for a fun day out with the kids. I booked the sauna and went before for a swim and ended up staying for a few hours. Honestly the staff were amazing and really informative. The changing facilities are top drawer and what's best is they've thought of everything. What an absolute gem of a place. 10/10.

What. Treat a chilled morning enjoying some wild swimming. It was almost perfect, what a great way to enjoy a summer's day. Really friendly team and just nice. One slight disappointment, being a Tuesday the cafe was shut so we had to roll up the road to the Bull & Lobster for some lunch. Then again that was well worth it. In fact a winning combination

Beautiful location for wild swimming. The owners have really worked hard to make this place stunning. I arrived around 11am and got a lovely space at the adults lake. Sauna was brilliant and well worth it. I liked that they have adults only lakes. The lake for inflatables & family lake are lovely. Parking is plenty & changing area good. My new favourite place to swim.

Camped. Beautiful place for wild swimming, camping, and paddle boarding. Great for adults and kids. Lots of room for playing games. Fire pits are available. Wood available for £10 a bag. Lovely cafe. It's a new venture, so we had portaloos and a few showers. However, they are having shower/toilet blocks installed. It's definitely worth a second visit.

I was very nervous going into this as the car park seemed quite busy and I'm not a lover of water but the other half really wanted to go. However getting on the site, it was amazing and super quiet. The lakes are so big that you don't have anyone else around you. I'm not a fan of swimming in general but on our way out we booked tickets for the following day! Super relaxing and we feel amazing now! Would highly recommend and we will be back again for sure!
