Lakes by YOO: more than a pool

A nearby country escape where water, woodland and a beautiful house do most of the work.

For groups travelling from London and the South, Lakes by YOO offers the rare luxury of feeling properly away without losing a day to travel.

Why the setting matters

The lake makes activity visible from the moment you wake up. Paddleboards, open-water swimming and walks are not excursions added to the trip; they are part of the landscape around the house.

That makes it especially good for families with older children and friendship groups who want shared experiences without a rigid itinerary.

Build around the weather

Plan the water and outdoor sessions with alternatives already agreed. A great indoor training space, a chef-led lunch, treatments and a cinema room mean a change in weather never becomes a lost day.

Make it yours

Start with this idea. Change everything else.

Share your dates and group. We’ll use this story as the starting point for the right villa, place and pace.
