We went for a nice walk around the lake with our dog and some parts would be good for a buggy or wheelchair. Very few puddles considering it rained last night. We had a coffee on the on site cafe which is open 10-4 Mon-Fri and different times on weekend. Worth a visit.

A wonderful NHS event this morning paddle boarding with Matthew Goddard and Becky Goddard. My first time and I managed to kneel all the way ( a real personal achievement 😊). Meanwhile others were upright but not all the way 🤣. Thank you Horseshoe for your generosity and we will be back 👏👏👏

A really lovely place. The staff are friendly and helpful. The Summer camps for the kids are very professionally run - fun, safe, educational (huge thanks to all the people who run these). Have also been in Autumn/Spring where it's great fun too (bring a wetsuit and you'll be fine). Only extra comment I would add - they could do with an extra toilet. Overall I highly recommend coming here.

Absolutely love it here, the staff are so friendly and welcoming. When you need help they are ready and willing.
I’ve been three weeks in a row now to do paddle boarding and it’s the highlight of my week.
Haven’t used the toilets or changing rooms, so can not comment on them.

Great experience and well run. We brought our own boards but everyone working there was helpful and friendly. We'll definitely be going back. Good place to learn paddle boarding or to enhance your skills without having to worry about currents, tides or waves.

I've been at Horseshoe Lake now for 12 years, going through from absolute beginner to Instructor. The owner and managing staff are fantastic and will always try their absolute best to accomodate you no matter who you are. The lake is teeming with life and is great for wildlife walks with young children. Ice cream, teas and coffees are all available inside the club house.
The monthly membership scheme is a great and extremely cost effective way to get yourself and your family out onto the lake throughout the summer months. When you consider the standard hire rates, the monthly membership pays for
