Rooms & Spaces

x
The Kitchen

This bright, social kitchen is made for shared meals and relaxed gatherings. You’ll find everything you need to cook together, serve a crowd, and snack in between. A large farmhouse table seats up to 10, with doors that open onto the garden for indoor-outdoor flow in warmer weather.

c
The Main Lounge

With comfy sofas, a fireplace, and views of the lake, this is the space where everyone ends up. Whether you’re catching up over drinks, watching a film, or just taking five, there’s room for the whole group to relax together.

c
The Games Room

The games room is where things get competitive (in the best way). Think pool tournaments, Xbox showdowns, darts, and board games that go way past bedtime. A smart TV and its own bar area make it a favourite for all ages.

The Pool & Sauna

Tucked into its own wing, the indoor pool and sauna are made for early morning dips, post-lunch paddles, or winding down between activities. The space includes changing facilities and opens directly onto the garden.

a
The Bedrooms

Each room is simple, spacious, and peaceful — made for recharging between group dinners and tennis matches. Expect soft bedding, plenty of storage, and a mix of double and twin setups to suit every group.

d
The Bar

Fully kitted out and ready for action, the in-house bar is perfect for cocktail hour, birthday toasts, or pre-dinner bubbles. Set the playlist, grab the glasses, and get the evening going.

The Gym

Whether it’s a full workout or a quick stretch before brunch, the gym is fully equipped and ready when you are. It’s a great option for early risers, fitness fans, or anyone looking for a quiet moment to themselves.

d
Outdoor Spaces

The grounds at Merry Lakes are designed for doing things your way. Play giant chess on the lawn, light the BBQ, watch a film under the stars, or take your drink to a quiet corner and just soak it all in.
