The Lakeside Bar & Eatery

The place to eat, meet and relax

From indulgent breakfasts and lite bites to scrumptious salads and delicious evening meals. There's also a hand-selected kids' menu with a variety of tasty and nutritious options.

In warmer weather enjoy a glass of something and a bite to eat on the veranda overlooking the lake.

For opening times, please look at our FAQs.

Adventure playground

Scramble into fun

Brand new in 2019, and made of wood to sit in the natural lake setting, the adventure play area is a great place for children to meet and make friends with other kids as they climb and scramble around the course. They'll test their balancing skills as they walk the tightrope, or move from one swinging step to another... will they fall off and start again? 

And the best bit, the veranda of The Lakeside bar and eatery overlooks the adventure play area, so you can enjoy an early evening drink on a warm summer's evening while the kids burn off all their energy before bedtime.

Currently closed, we are hoping to have it open soon, so keep checking back.

When the warmer weather is here and the suns out, cool off with a relaxing dip in our outdoor pool. Or if you fancy reading a book, grab a lounger or chair and let the kids splash around or practice their swimming skills.
