This is a real island in the middle of a water-skiing lake. Its quirky and fun yet peaceful and relaxing all in the same breath! Fabulous for group bookings. One side of the lake is Hardwick Water Sports and the other side is Waterside Therapy Rooms. You can fish from the island, chill out in the hot tub or *party in The Wonky Bar. There are 8 double bedrooms (6 can be made up as twins) plus an Epic Dorm Room designed NOT just for kids!  The 8th room, with sofa bed currently doubles as an extra sitting room and has a lovely little roof terrace off of it.

Please note that the prices are based on 14 people for a minimum 3 night stay. Additional guests are charged from £200/person/stay. Two designated drivers for the boats are required, must be over 25 & hold a valid car driving licence.

You can swim in the lake next door in season but not in the lake the island sits in as it is a waterskiing lake.

"We had an absolutely lovely stay at Adele’s place. She’s a really lovely person and was so helpful. She advised us to use the Park’n’Ride to go into Oxford for the day and we couldn’t believe how easy it was: no waiting at all and incredibly cheap. The place is really well equipped to the point that we needn’t have taken as much as we did. I hadn’t driven a boat before but Adele was brilliant at explaining how to use it, and it quickly became a doddle. We would thoroughly recommend staying at Adele’s place."
