GO EXPLORE
There is so much to do
Explore the lake!
Take a pedalo out on the lake for a relaxing ride, paddle in the shallow stream, or sit back and enjoy the calming sounds of birdsong from one of the seating spots by the water.
Birdwatching on site!
Go Eco is a haven for bird lovers! From hand-tame species that will eat right from your palm to the thrilling sight of red kites and buzzards soaring and swooping low over the meadow – a birdwatcher’s dream come true. If you're new to birdwatching, don't worry we've got you covered! Use the binoculars and bird guide provided to help you spot and identify the amazing birds you’ll see during your stay.
Nature Photography!
Our glampsite is a dream spot for anyone who loves photography and the great outdoors. There's so much to capture here, from birds and butterflies to curious little weasels going about their day. Down by the stream, keep your eyes peeled for rare water voles, and if you're really lucky, you might spot the otter that occasionally pops by for a visit. With a peaceful lake, a beautiful meadow, and stunning views of the surrounding landscape, there’s something special to photograph around every corner. At night, the magic continues - thanks to the low light pollution, the sky lights up with stars, making it perfect for night sky photography. Whether you're snapping shots on your phone or behind a big camera lens, this place is full of moments worth capturing.
Yoga and Mindfulness!
