What visitors say
Extraordinary amazing week for our 9 year old Who completed multi activity week (kids adventure week) which had sailing, kayaking, windsurfing and SUP. Amazing tuition. She had the best time and can’t wait to come back next year. ,

Visited Ardingly Activity Centre near Ardingly Reservoir and had a really lovely time. It’s a great spot if you want to spend the day outdoors with family — you can rent kayaks or paddle boats and just enjoy the water in a really peaceful, natural setting. The staff were friendly and helpful, and there’s even a little café for drinks and snacks which makes it easy to spend a few hours here. Facilities are good too, with washrooms on site. Parking is right at the bottom of the hill near the centre — loads of spaces and it’s free, which is a big plus. On a sunny day it’s such a nice place to relax, paddle about, or just sit by the lake and take it all in. Definitely recommend if you’re nearby!

Really lovely morning paddle boarding with the kids. Easy online booking. The Staff are wonderful. Super easy to just “turn up and go!” Lovely little cafe for ice creams afterwards.
