"The on-site facilities, especially the family get-together room, the cowshed, with its retro games was also much used and enjoyed. The swimming pool was very clean and a good temperature of 20° C and again was thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you Rebecca and Louise"

5 Benefits of Wild Swimming
You may be wondering, why on earth would I recommend swimming in a lake when we have a perfectly good, heated pool? Well… wild swimming can have significant health benefits when done in a safe environment. Conveniently, we have a lake just down the road that has recently opened! It's a 15-minute walk along a picturesque rural country lane, or just a few minutes by car.
