Balancing act

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. And when it's warm, enjoy a refreshing drink and a bite to eat on the veranda overlooking the lake.

Tickle your taste buds, view our menus: Main menu, Lunch menu, Pizza menu, Sunday lunch, and Click & Collect. We recommend that you pop into reception to book a table

We even have a click and collect service, using our new food app to order, so you can have a night in without the hassle of cooking!

Adventure playground

Scramble into fun

Our 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.

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 daily from 9am to 6pm in late spring (depending on whether we're enjoying spring sunshine or showers!) until the end of the summer season. 

Currently, there are no changing facilities open so please turn up to the pool swim ready. Disabled guests can use the changing facilities. We're offering 30 minute family swimming sessions - please phone 01983 721606 to book on resort or visit reception.  

Entertainment

Sit back, relax and let us entertainment you

This year, we're bringing you a silent disco so you can show off those moves as well as 'movies under the stars' at our outdoor cinema for a relaxing evening in the moonlight! 

For more details, including times, please ask our friendly reception team when you arrive.

Indoor swimming pool

Swim and splash

Calling all mermaids and mermans, big or small! Our indoor heated swimming pool is open all year round from 9am - 6pm, so whenever you fancy a swim, dive right in. Whether you like to do a few laps, float,  or make a splash.
