" I have been swimming at Escape to the lake for a few months now. I always feel safe and welcome, even when I go on my own the owners, Pippa and will couldn't be more accommodating and friendly. It's close to home for me which is a huge bonus, but even if it wasn't it would be worth travelling to. The setting is beautiful, lovely big clean lake, with good well maintained access allowing you to get in slowly for those chilly days! Every request is catered for, hot drinks, fire pit, somewhere to sit and change. I like that it's more rustic than other venues, the swim feels more wild without kayaks and big triathlon marker buoys. Getting to know the happy animals on site is another plus point!"

"Escape to the lake is a stunning lake to swim in. The scenery surrounding it is so calming and relaxing it adds to the whole experience. whilst swimming you get that complete connection with nature. It was lovely to have Greylag geese flying overhead. Pippa and her family were so welcoming when we arrived and it was lovely to hear their plans. Loved the fire pit to warm up after. Can’t wait to see how this beautiful venue grows. Thank you for the opportunity"

"Escape to the Lake, is exactly that. It's a calming and beautiful place to visit for an open water swim. Pippa and Will are so welcoming and relaxed. It's lovely to see all the wildlife. Looking forward to watching the site develop into something even more special.."
