Activities

We like to think that you are never too old to learn something new, whether it be windsurfing, fishing, sailing or even how to put up a tepee. There is over 15km of lakeside walkways, treks, nature trails and cycling routes all within the estate.

At The Lakes by yoo, each activity has been allocated its own part of the estate, albeit heavily shielded to ensure minimum disturbance on the natural landscape.

Whilst the estate provides access to so many activities, The Lakes benefits from close proximity to some of the most reputable sporting clubs and event destinations, where owners and their families can access a wide range of pursuits. Owning a waterfront home is as fantastic as it sounds.

Fishing
The Lakes are regularly stocked with Trout and are also home to Pike, Perch, Carp, Tench, Roach and Bream.

For those without their own equipment, the Fishing Hut on Huntsman Lake can provide all required tackle, from rods and hooks to bait and boats. And each Saturday enjoy The Lakes ‘Hook and Cook’ BBQ or make use of the smoker to enjoy your catch later.

Fishing lessons or simply some guidance can also be made available upon request.

Kids Club
Children’s adventure play areas and dens are hidden in the woods.

Regular activities are organised by the Kids Club, which encourages children to take part in a range of outward bound adventures such as on-site camping, outdoor theatre, lake safaris and sporting events. Plus a host of seasonal activities including butterfly and bug hunts, moth studies, bee keeping, Easter-egg hunts, fireworks and the famous Lakes Halloween party.

Sailing
Owners and their families have access to the sailing club where they can take to the water windsurfing or sailing.

Spa
The spa at The Lakes provides a sanctuary of wellness and relaxation, where a wide range of treatments will be offered complete with qualified instructors to guide and inform. In addition to a 20m main pool finished in Prussian blue mosaic tiles, facilities include a separate kids pool, steam room, sauna and outdoor cedar hot tub.

A fully equipped gym and treatment rooms are complemented by the club room, where post work out residents can settle by the fire, enjoy a game of pool and have a drink from the honesty bar overlooking the Cotswold countryside and the lakeside view.
