Kayaking on Our Estate

Get back to nature

Lose yourself in the peace and serenity of your surroundings on a kayak, at our Devon Leisure Lake. With kayak’s available for use during your stay, you can get as close to the water as possible without actually getting in (hopefully!) Kayaking is suitable for all ages, it’s great fun for small and larger groups, and it’s easy to enjoy.

The waters of the Leisure Lake make it ideal for those new to kayaking and we can teach you all the basics in our pre-bookable group tuition classes. If you have experience, your kayak and paddle is yours to enjoy once our safety briefing is complete. Either way, in no time, you’ll be paddling to explore the corners of the lake or sitting back and floating along, taking in the beautiful scenery.

Plan ahead and make the most of your stay! Use your personalised Touch Stay guide to book activities and experiences up to 2 weeks before your arrival.
