As a business owner looking for a covid safe team event, hiring the lake for water skiing and the inflatable chair was perfect. Every one enjoyed it and the food / drinks were spot on what we were looking for. Thoroughly recommend the guys at the lake who run a safe and enjoyable event.

Took my son here for his first waterskiing lesson. Wow. What an amazing day. The most secluded lake and wonderfully calm location (we did go on a quiet day to be honest). The lake is perfect and calm. Our instructor was fantastic in helping him start on the bar, and then quickly got him up and able to get him on to the rope "with confidence" really quickly. So impressed both with the level of coaching, the entire ethos and manner of all of the staff, the serenity, good nature and ethos of the people and th eplace and it's just brilliant as a location as well for water skiing. We'll be going back

Had a great day today on the Segways... We started out negotiating a cone course, then went around the lake, followed by a few games/races etc. We finished up by climbing up and down steep banks. Also, Andrew was very accommodating with our booking which was made at short notice.
