Reviews of Activities Away

A. C.

What an amazing place. Staff were all incredibly helpful, in fact went above and beyond which isn't something you seem to get much of these days. The lake was so clean and surprising warm too. Great facilities, toilets cafe etc. Not sampled any food but if it tastes as good as it smells it should be a winner.

Always love this place, staff are great facilities too.

Really enjoyed the visit to Hykeham this weekend. Disappointed that the SUP launch we booked.... Was only for one adult.... Weren't allowed to rotate users. Other than that... Staff were helpful and facilities were good. .

The water quality and safety aspect at this lake is amazing, I cannot recommend it highly enough to both experienced and newbie swimmers. Great food and beverages also on offer at the Cafe shack

What a great time our family had, we started the day kayaking. My wife had never been before and the staff were brilliant, helpful right from the start, welcoming and approachable. Even with the bad weather they were out and getting things set up to make sure we had everything we needed. We went out on the kayaks for a good hour, other equipment was out and were told we were free to use whatever was out. My daughter loved every minute, the water is clear and the lake seems clean and private. Once we had finished and got changed we went to do archery, I can honestly say I don't which I enjoyed more. The instructor was light hearted but professional the whole time. A great place for outdoor water activities with the family or solo, I am really looking forward to going back.

A great morning out! Staff were very friendly and accommodating for my daughter and me. Really good set up and service. Great food and drink on site with an awesome seating area with a nice view across the water too.

From start to finish the folks at Activities Away went out their way to accommodate our visit. From allowing us to book at a time they don't normally due to us having a very specific date we could attend. To being considerate when I was held up in traffic and slightly late. To then making sure we got food (chilli was awesome Steve!) even though they were prepping for an event. Friendly and professional and welcoming. Amazing find and we will be back.

We had an excellent day as a large group. We had loads of fun and cannot wait to go there again!

The venue is great. The loop is great - to improve stamina and stroke. Great changing facilities and toilets and even a cold shower which is bracing.The food is lovely and such a treat to have the facility of hot food straight after a swim. Today I had stir fry veggies and halloumi salad with a cuppa Yorkshire Tea.Gorgeous! Also, forgot my hat, but they lent me one. Can’t wait for winter season swimming! 😊👍🏼🌊 Yoga Sup also highly recommended. 🙏🏼🌊

Activities Away is consistently excellent. The lake is a great place to swim, with lovely clear water and comprehensive life guard cover. And the café is superb - a great selection of coffee and cake, cold drinks, and a wider menu with items such as bacon ciabatta, wood fired pizza and nachos. To top it all, the staff are lovely and friendly, and keen to make your visit enjoyable. Well worth a trip.

Nice place. Water is lovely. Granted it could be day/time of year depending, but it was clean, clear, no weeds and on our visit a balmy 20degC. We did paddle boarding. They provide boards, suits, life vests and helmets. All good gear in fine fettle. Bargain at £15 for an hour I think. Would come back here to do some OW swimming I think.

Had the BEST morning kayaking here today. Steve was fab - had some laughs with him and he served us some wicked bowls of chilli and nachos and a cracking coffee. Josh was ace at getting us kitted out and keeping his eye on us in the water. Can't wait to come back and try paddle boarding!! Thanks guys!

J. G.

Just been swimming here for the first time. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful and I've had a great afternoon swimming and am looking forward to going back soon.

L. D.

A great afternoon on the lake paddle boarding with my family. Had a lovely Jack Fruit burger from the cafe afterwards. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. Would thoroughly recommend.

D. B.

We hired kayaks for an hour for 4. It was surprisingly not too expensive £40. The equipment hire and wetsuits etc were included. We had a fantastic time and the staff are great, we quite happily messed about in the water without fear of being told off Such a relaxed atmosphere we would definitely go again. The lake is extremely clean too.

S. C.

One of my favourite places, great to swim or just sit with a coffee and cake and watch the activities.

RYA First Aid Course. Well run, plenty of refreshments and a great lunch. Just kept the info at the pace you needed with practical sessions as required. Ideal.

S. C.

Fantastic swim followed by a delicious coffee to warm up afterwards. The food and drinks are fantastic, little legs enjoyed flatbread and hummus after her swim and a famous caramel slice, they are the best we've ever tasted

J. D.

Had a great afternoon on the water. Spot of very late lunch afterwards. Staff could not have been more accommodating. Highly recommend the jackfruit burger. We'll be back 🌞😎🚣‍♀️🙂

E. W.

Great fun doing kayaking and stand up paddle boarding. Quick process to get wetsuits and safety equipment then straight out onto the water. We really enjoyed jumping off the pontoons too.

The lake is so nice, staff are friendly and helpful but facilities are poor. There is no definite changing room. Still, we had great fun.

A. N.

15 of us, 6 families went to the water sports today and we all had a fantastic time. The sun was out, the staff we ace and the water was warm. Great time.

T. C.

Clean water, changing facilities, cafe. What's not to like?!

K. J.

I had never been open water swimming but go every week now. This is a really clean lake, friendly atmosphere and great chili con carne after a cold swim. They have a 100m loop and 800m loop. Chill staff and a great facility. Open 9-12 Saturday and Sunday. Surprisingly doesn't get that busy

T. D.

Had an amazing session flyboarding today at Activities Away. Everyone was really helpful, none more so than my instructor, Alex. He was friendly, clear and a fantastic instructor. Couldn't believe that more people hadn't had flyboarding sessions this summer! It is a lot of fun and a great experience I will be repeating. Highly recommend this activity and Activities Away as a whole. Thank you for a great evening. Just need to book the wife in now!

R. O.

No changing rooms , Overly complex booking system, Slow check in which reduce our hour on the water For £8 a swim a warm shower and private changing Lake as lovely as ever

J. P.

My daughter had her 7th birthday party there. The 10 year old was very jealous. They both loved it. Lots of party activities. Very accommodating (we used the picnic area afterwards for sandwiches and cake). And the staff were absolutely amazing with the kids. Would say for all ages too as saw a teenage party next to us having great fun too.

A. B.

Nice lake and community. Car park is a nightmare, very uneven and muddy when wet. No changing rooms either so be prepared to get back to nature 😂

Z. K.

Fantastic services. Easy booking. The training sessions looked excellent but not there long enough to take advantage. Will be back

J. F.

Activities away is really well organised and have really reassuring and sensible COVID precautions. You feel safe both in and out of the water!

C. K.

Another day swimming in a beautiful lake and being looked after and kept safe by an amazing, friendly and always smiling crew 💖🐬🏊‍♀️☕🍩

L. G.

Had a great time at the full moon swim last night, Ian was very helpful.Met some lovely people, pizza was awesome. I will be back :)

J. B.

Great fun, friendly and accommodating staff. Also great value for money even if it was a bit cold!

J. I. F.

Fabulous atmosphere and great staff .. it has the feel of an old school surf beach / Secret stash in the mountains ... rare these days to find a venue with its own authenticity and vibe.

S. C.

Great lake to swim in, lovely people too. It was my first time and they made me feel very welcome.

J. T.

1st Paddle boarding lesson, fabulous instructor and facilities. Going back next week!

A. T.

Great water sports venue. Well set up and organised, friendly staff.

P. J.

Great amenity for open water swimming. Very clean and clear water, good safety supervision and hot snacks and drinks to warm up afterwards if you need to.
