Walk through our luxury waterfront lodges, from turnkey furnished homes to the full spec of a 2/3-bed lakeside lodge.
Meet the Team
Be shown round personally by the people who run The Lakes every day. Ask anything no question is too small.

Complimentary Refreshments
Food and drink on us throughout the weekend. Bring the family and the dog.
Why Owners Choose
The Lakes
The Water Starts at Your Decking.
Every lodge sits on the waterfront. Wake up to the lake, paddleboard or kayak straight from your own decking, fish the private lakes whenever you like. This isn't a park with a pond — the water is the whole point.
Only Eight Will Ever Exist.
The Lakes is a genuinely exclusive development just 8 waterfront lodges, and that's the number for good. No crowds, no rows of identical vans, no commercial noise. Once they're owned, they're owned. This is the opposite of a packed-in holiday park.
True Ownership, Not a Holiday Let.
This is a place that's yours, no subletting, no rental scheme, no strangers in your lodge. A peaceful countryside base in the Shropshire Hills, dog-friendly throughout, with 10–11 months of use every year and finance available. Somewhere that genuinely feels like your own.

Your Questions,
Answered
Is the open weekend really free to attend?
Yes, completely. No entry fee, no hidden costs, and no obligation to buy anything. Refreshments are on us throughout the day.
How does ownership actually work — is it a holiday let?
No. The Lakes is genuine ownership, not a rental scheme. Your lodge is yours — there's no subletting and no strangers staying in it. We're happy to talk you through the ownership terms, finance options, and resale agreement on the day.
Do I have to be ready to buy?
Not at all. Most visitors come simply to explore the idea. Some leave as owners, many leave with information to think it over. Both are welcome.
Can I bring my family — and my dog?
Absolutely. Bring partners, children, parents — anyone who'd be part of the decision. We're dog-friendly throughout, so well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome too.
Is there parking on-site?
Yes, free parking is available directly at the park. Directions will be sent with your confirmation email.
How long does a visit take?
Plan for around 60 to 90 minutes. You're welcome to stay longer to enjoy the lakes and the grounds once you've seen the lodges.
What if I can't make the dates?
Get in touch and we'll arrange a private viewing at a time that suits you.
