Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Having been going paddle boarding here through the summer, my son wanted the birthday party package (3 months early as his birthday is in December!) The party was amazing and all 20 kids absolutely loved it, despite some being apprehensive at the start with it being something new and on a huge lake. Niamh and Megan took the party and were especially great with the kids who were unsure. I honestly can't thank them enough for how well organised the day was. The food was great and nothing like the cheap kids burgers you might normally expect! I'm sure you will be getting future bookings both from us and our guests, thank you again for a truly memorable birthday party.

After swimming here for over a year, we booked our son’s birthday party at the beginning of Sept. I think I may have raised the bar for all other parties! What a fab afternoon we had, the boys were engaged and having fun doing a range of watery activities. The instructors were superb with all ability levels. The after activity food was excellent. Highly recommended and huge thanks to all at Activities Away.

Booking the self launch was a pleasure, easy web site to navigate and online chat was awesome. Staff are friendly and helpful, cafe and seating is availble right next to the lake. Rentals looked great but we had our own craft, may rent some extra next time as prices are best around. Car park is big and easy enough to transport craft or boards to lake. Launching facilities are excellent. Lake is massive and lots of places to explore, bascially go where you want to. Great to see a watchful eye by the lifeguard who does regular patrols of the lake throuhout. Awesome jetty to jump off for a quick dip to cool down. Changing rooms are a good standard with lockers available. Toilets are clean and there are showers (beach type) for after the fun. All in all, best place to go with the family for fun on the water. Would highly recommend to all, beginner to pro and child to adult. Have a look at their Facebook page.

What a gem of a place, for stand up paddle boarding. Great location on the outskirts of Lincoln and easy to park. Fabulous facilities, friendly and approachable staff, lovely lake, food, cakes, coffee! We self launched mine and hired a stand up paddle board, a few weeks ago. We enjoyed a home made chilli afterwards and chatted to the owner. I was so impressed, I booked my youngest on a paddle boarding lesson today and she was equally impressed. The lesson was informative, fun and Niamh was really great with the kids and made sure they were safe at all times. Jumping off the jetty was a great way to end the session. Definitely be back, highly recommend and see you again soon. Thank you guys!

Fantastic staff and facilities, family group of 8 and everyone was completely catered for. Had milkshakes that the kids all rated 5 star and a very decent couple of Pizzas. Lots of space for all.

We recently came here with a group for a doggy swim. The place was lovely! The staff were super helpful, and we had a great time.
After the event, we all had pizza and sat in a wonderful undercover area.
Sadly, when it came to leaving we had a car issue and ended up having to call breakdown. The staff were wonderfully accommodating and just an all-around credit to the place!
We will be back!

What a way to finish a school year! We took 22 year 6 kids to have a party and it was fabulous. They had giant 6 people paddle boards, and kayak slides. The staff were engaging, helpful and kind. They got the children wetsuited, and in life vests and helmets and into the water, where they had ALL the fun! Games and challenges and leaping from the jetty, all within the safety of the beautiful lake with the team at hand.
Afterwards pizzas were brought out in double quick time to the sunny patio area. We were very well looked after. Fabulous way to celebrate.Everyone said they were going to return independently as they had such a great time. Highly recommend!

Me and my son usually swim a few times during the summer but invited my mum and her wife to come watch us take their dog to the doggy dip event a few weeks ago. Food was delicious. The only issue I have is as a disabled person the entry in is a little difficult. I use a rollator to get around and I can't use their entry stairs and on occasion their gate has been locked.
