About
Lakeside is a unique water sports facility in a unique location. We offer water sports for all levels, from novice to experienced slalom skiers. For some wet & wild fun on the water our inflatable rides are very popular for all ages. Our restaurant/sports bar, the Lakeside Brasserie is a great place for relaxed family dining, with a fantastic sun terrace overlooking the lake.

We booked Lakeside ski & wake as the last leg off a stag weekend, 2 occasional skiers, 1 advanced wakeboarder and an old 'would be' slalom skier (me). A great welcome from Dan and immediately felt very relaxed and at home. Super facilities, great boats and an unhurried but highly professional approach.
Thank you so much.
I'll be back!

We had such a fun day at the Lakeside Ski And Wake. Really easy to book, turned up 30 minutes before to change and the kids were set down for instructions before their experience started.

30 minutes of fun on 3 different types of inflatables. The guys were professional and very patient, especially with my over zealous 6 year old! (Sorry!)

A great way to have some fast adrenalin fun and also enjoy the water! We were lakeside watching or on the boat taking pictures.

We were so lucky to have such a scorching hot day too and ventured inside the brasserie for a fantastic lunch afterwards!

We took two 6 year olds and two 8 year olds, but I this experience would be great for any age! I may do it myself next time!!

I chartered the boat for 4 hours for a 40th Birthday party. Lakeside made it such a fantastic day. Dan took us for Wakesurfing and was really knowledgeable about it, as a result we all improved so much and couldn't stop talking about it all evening! We really got the VIP treatment and a lot of their competitors were not able to provide that level of service. Excellent value for money too for a large block booking like that.

Arrived and asked quite snottily, if we’d booked (restaurant had approximately 5 table occupied and around 10-15 empty. We were put outside in the ‘pub area’. Ordered the scrambled eggs on toast which looked nice but had water all over the plate. The toast was waterlogged and not very nice. I ate around a quarter of it and couldn’t eat anymore. When asked if our food was ok I said no and explained. The girl apologised. She then came back out and said she’d spoken to the chef who said ‘they’ve never had any complaints before, the water was ‘butter and there was not a problem as far as the chef was concerned’ but they’d taken it off our bill anyway. One of the ladies serving was very nice and apologised this had happened but not a good experience will not be back.

Had the best time at Lakeside Ski & Wake! The staff were extremely welcoming and patient whilst me and my friends ate and drank inside (which was extremely delicious 😋). The staff outside explained how to use the ringos and how to call for help if needed. This was a great activity to do during my stay at the lake and will definitely be back again! Thank you 🙏🏼

We were a family group of 7 with adults and kids 11,13,15 and all water skiing beginners. Our trainer was Dan who was very patient and a great teacher. Nearly everyone was standing by the end of their session and those that didn’t were keen to give water skiing another go. We also hired the inflatables for the kids after which was great fun. We visited on a Tuesday which meant there was no food available but that meant the terrace was quieter for anyone who is nervous of learning in front of an audience. Although a slightly more expensive activity it was definitely a holiday highlight for our group.

Had an amazing time at Lakeside Ski and Wake. Facilities there are great and the staff are so helpful and kind. Have to give particular praise to Hope who did everything she could to offer reassurance and helpful instruction whilst we were both skiing and wakeboarding. She really makes the effort and we were so happy to have her on our session. Will definitely be back soon as we're already planning our next trip.

A wonderfully friendly and helpful team at lakeside ski and wake. Great coaching for complete novices and more experienced skiers alike. 11 year old and 16year old up on the rope after first five mins coaching on the bar. Great fun on the inflatables too, something for everyone . 2 we’ll maintained boats for perfect ski and wake boarding options . Couldn’t be happier with our stay for the week. Good food too !

I booked couple slots to find my mono legs again. Did expect to potter around the lake and maybe do a couple drills. Dan was a superstar, he got me running a half course by the end of second tow. Pretty horrid weather did not stop him either!
The bar and amenities are functional and very well run / wish I lived closer, but definitely make an effort to visit again :)

Fantastic sessions recently with Dan at Lakeside. My daughter is a regular wake boarder at Lakeside, so I was desperate to be able to stand on a board and give it a good go. Dan's patience and coaching was brilliant and I managed to get up on the board, if only for a little while. We also had a go on the ringos, which has to be a must do for everyone at least once in life. Result was, daughter thrown out of ringo, dad managed to stay in for the whole ride despite great effort to throw me out - loved it, brilliant fun.
