The Lakeside Bar & Eatery

The place to eat, meet and relax

You're on holiday so let us do the cooking for you... You'll find a range of meals to suit every appetite and all age groups. From light bites to scrumptious salads and delicious evening meals. There's also a hand-selected kids' menu with a variety of tasty and nutritious options.

We’re currently refreshing our menus. To give you a flavour of the range of food available please take a look at our previous menu here. We’re also looking to launch a click and collect app soon, so you can have a night in with a delicious meal without the hassle of cooking. More details coming soon.

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

For opening times, please ask our friendly reception team when you arrive.

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.

Outside swimming pool

Take a dip

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.

Our outdoor pool usually opens late spring (depending on whether we're enjoying spring sunshine or showers!) until the end of the summer season. 

The outdoor pool is open from 9am - 6pm, with strict measures in line with government guidelines to keep guests and staff safe. There will be no changing facilities so please turn up to the pool ready to go straight in - however disabled guests can use the changing facilities. It will be family 30 minute swimming sessions - please phone the activities number to book on resort.
