The Deck is very accommodating - with great coffee in addition to many other drinks. They serve a variety of cakes, sandwiches, snacks & crisps. There are often hot snacks as well. The seating area is well laid out, on a raised Deck - hence the name! It views the lake, often with water sports, boating & SCUBA Diving & is linked to the Aqua Sports centre.

We were first time visitors and really enjoyed our short cafe pit stop. We'll be returning when the ground is more dry or the footwear more suitable

It's super pretty! Definitely recommend! They also have like a cafe and you can watch people doing water sports! Only thing is the entrance doesn't really look like the entrance to the park and there is a lot of pot holes and thier pretty deep.
