What visitors say
A Hidden Gem for Families and Adventure Lovers If you’re looking for a safe, welcoming place where your kids can run free, explore nature, and have endless fun, this is the spot for you. From friendly donkeys and goats to ducks, wild rabbits, and even deer, there’s so much wildlife to see — not to mention the stunning koi swimming in the lake. The park has something for everyone. There’s a well-sized play area for children, huge grassy fields perfect for picnics or ball games, and a fantastic café where you can relax on the new decking overlooking the water. Enjoy a delicious lunch, a proper coffee, and a slice of cake while soaking in the beautiful lakeside views. You can even feed the koi (food is available from reception), or take a peaceful walk around the lakes. With so many different routes to choose from, you could easily spend the whole day exploring what this place has to offer. For those who love a bit of adventure, there’s a childerns obstacle course with a little climbing frame and a massive sandpit for little ones to dig into. During the warmer months, the park really comes alive with seasonal activities — including a huge aqua park, paddleboarding (solo or tandem), kayaking, pedalos, and so much more. It’s well worth checking their website for the latest events and activities. They also host open-water swimming sessions all year round. And if you just want to cool off, there’s a large paddling area that’s perfect for a summer splash (we definitely needed that this year!). Honestly, there’s so much to do here. We visit often and still haven’t managed to try everything — which just gives us another reason to keep coming back!

Lovely modern lodge. Lake side too, ducks and swans all around. Some issues with cleaning but was quickly put right after a visit to reception. Nice pub on site.
