The Lakes by YOO

Life at The Lakes by YOO begins with the landscape. Mornings on the water, afternoons between woodland trails, spa rituals and long lunches and evenings gathered around the lake. Set within an idyllic private estate, this luxurious retreat offers a contemporary expression of countryside living that is deeply restorative and shaped around the freedom to experience each day entirely your own way.

Accommodation ranges from lakeside suites and cabins to architecturally designed residences, many with expansive terraces and uninterrupted views across the water. Interiors are calm and contemporary, allowing the landscape to take centre stage and creating spaces that feel equally suited to slow weekends and longer stays.

The experience unfolds across the estate itself. Days move naturally between paddleboarding and kayaking on the lakes, wild swimming, tennis and woodland walks, while The Spa by YOO offers treatments, thermal experiences and wellness rituals designed to reconnect guests with the natural world. Seasonal retreats, movement classes and restorative therapies bring a deeper sense of wellbeing to life by the water.

Families are equally immersed in the Lakes by YOO way of life. Younger guests can explore through bushcraft, cycling trails and the School of Wild, while sailing, fishing and outdoor pursuits encourage shared experiences and a deeper connection to nature.

Throughout the year, a calendar of guest chef suppers, seasonal celebrations and curated events brings a changing energy to the estate, ensuring that no two visits feel quite the same. Dining remains relaxed and sociable, with long lunches and lakeside evenings forming part of the daily rhythm.

The Lakes by YOO offers more than a countryside escape. It is a place shaped by design, wellbeing and a sense of belonging, where nature sets the pace and each season brings a different reason to visit or return.
