Outside & Views

Step through the double doors onto your private fenced decking, where dogs can roam freely while you relax in the outdoor hot tub or enjoy a BBQ on warm summer evenings. The veranda overlooks open countryside, creating a peaceful space for morning coffee or quiet evenings in the fresh air.

Eye Kettleby Lakes offers plenty of scenic walks – from short trails around the park to longer countryside routes leading to Great Dalby (30 minutes) or Melton Mowbray (45-60 minutes). And when you’re ready to eat, the Lakes Bar & Tearoom has a dedicated dog-friendly section where you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or an evening drink with your companion.

“Absolutely beautiful adults only caravan touring site. The whole place is kept fantastic, the shower rooms are to die for with underfloor heating and rain showers.”
