This is the best place my wife and I have ever been for wild swimming (open water swimming). Lots of places to swim. Saunas. Places to sit around the ponds. Awesome cafe, we had two different soups, both were to die for. Going to try to visit more, though it is three hours away from home. We're so jealous of the locals, they are very lucky to have Pool Bridge Farm.

What an amazing experience. I was really concerned when we turned up on a bank holiday Monday to find the car park already 95% full. After a super friendly check-in, once inside it felt no where near as busy as I feared. In certain parts of the lakes we were the only ones there. Absolutely wonderful experience, and loved the style or the basic and functional facilities. Am going back and would recommend to anyone. [The family lake was much busier that the adult only lakes, but it looked super fun and a great atmosphere]

What a great place. Staff really friendly and welcoming. We used the lake view sauna and tried all lakes. Grounds are stunning and it's well kept. I would of liked shower facilities. Cafe food really nice.

Beautiful site with several gorgeous lakes to swim in. We especially loved the Monet Lake full of water lilies - so peaceful. The on-site cafe does a great range of food and drink. You can also book a sauna experience in one of the many saunas around the M Lake, which we very much enjoyed. There is a barn with straw bale rooms to change in and plenty of space to just lie in the grass and relax between swims. We didn’t try the SUP or kayaking area but might next time. It is also possible to camp here overnight. Brilliant. We left feeling very relaxed. A lovely place to spend the day (or weekend).

We booked this in advanced as no bookings on gate, so happy we did, it was fantastic! We had 2 adults and 1, 11 year old with us, and couldn't recommend enough!! We turned up at 09:45 and stayed until 1400, the Q lake was super clean and facilities - shower, toilets and changing rooms all well kept too. We stopped off at the cafe on our way back to the car and had pizza and chips - delicious!!! Food was fresh and tasted yummy! Next time we visit we will most likely camp over as well to make a weekend of it. We will be back!!! Thanks for a great experience Pool Bridge Farm.

Fantastic cafe with home-cooked breakfast and lunch options. Very impressed, we’ll be going again. Very friendly staff and this place is shaping up as a fantastic wellness hub for wild swimming, eating, running and more!

The cafe is great. Good homemade food. Great Coffee and cakes with plenty Vegan food catered for with almond milk and vegan Ginger cake. The wild swiming have very basic facilities but it's all it need. Very nice pond for a dip and long enough for a decent swim.

This is a lovely quiet spot with 3 large ponds which on a sunny day would be very beautiful. Plenty of room to walk your dog, and fishing availableif you want to.. Camping field is large. Only gavec4 stars as the toilet block and showers are small and need up grading, they are hoping to do this next year. The owners were very nice and helpful. Would go again.

This is our second time here. Fantastic place to camp and fish. They have a couple open ponds and a couple private ones. One of the ponds is closed sometimes for swimmers. It’s a wonderful place to get kids interested in fishing because the ponds are well stocked with perch and roach that you catch often. Also great for the more experienced angler wanting to catch a big carp. I’ve been told they are in there! The bathroom and showers are clean and there is a washing up area. Very nice family run location. Highly recommend!!
