The lake is perfect for wild swimming, paddle boarding, and kayaking, offering guests the opportunity to enjoy nature in a private and tranquil environment. The house is located on the Cookswood development where we will need to supply all guests' names and vehicle registrations for security. Other things to note While the house is completed, the wider site is still under phased construction. You may notice building activity elsewhere on the estate, but this should not affect your stay. The estate is a former quarry, and the terrain can be muddy, so we recommend bringing wellies or suitable walking shoes if you plan to explore the surroundings. The house also has parking up to 4 cars, 2 cars can be parked at the house and 2 can be parked at the main entrance building. Please note that the lake is owned, managed, and operated by Cookswood Estate, and we have no control over its operation or maintenance. Safety rules must be followed at all times when using the lake. These will be available within the property and in the guest house guide.
