St Andrews Lakes - Rochester

We visited today to experience their zip line & OH MY GOSH what an experience. Staff were exceptionally polite, helpful and kind.
Location is absolutely unreal, stunning!!

Our zip lining experience was so amazing, I felt so free and immensely proud of myself. It was such a freeing experience and I would recommend it to EVERYONE.
Staff were amazing. Helpful & supportive.

HIGHLY recommend this place.

Where do I start! I had the most amazing time at St Andrews lake from start to finish. Travelling 18 minutes outside of London (I couldnt believe it) this magical place transports your from the city to what feels like a place far away. It feels as if you are in a secluded part of Norway or potentially New Zealand. A truely unique experience in the UK.

Arriving at the lake not wondering what to expect I was greeted by the most welcoming and friendly staff who helped point me in the right direction for my activities. First stop was the zip line and ‘the drop’ which admittedly I was very nervous about. The amazing staff talked me through it and gave me the confidence to take the leep of faith. What a thrill! I highly recommend this activity.

Second stop was at the cafe where I had a delicious sausage sandwich which gave me a huge dose of nostalgia from my childhood. The menu is great and caters for all dietary requirements.

Finally, the wellness centre! After a large adrenaline dose from the zip line, I got to put my feet up in the hot tub and sauna and relax looking over the peaceful lake watching in amazement as swimmers go round and round despite the cool temperatures this time of year. The combination of cold plunge in the lake and then straight into the sauna will make you feel good as new! I highly highly recommend.

I honestly could not rate St Andrews Lakes high enough and I will certainly be coming back and hopefully with the opportunity to stay in one of the beautiful lodges on the lake

5* all round.

We recently visited Andrews Lake during the school half-term after seeing it online. We thought it would be nice to take a look around, see what they had to offer, and possibly book some activities for the future. However, our experience was disappointing from the start.

Upon arrival, we were immediately approached by security, who asked what activity we had booked and at what time. After explaining that we hadn’t booked anything as we were just looking to explore and get a feel for the place, we were bluntly told that it was all private land and we couldn’t look around. It took about five minutes of back-and-forth discussion before the security guard finally let us park up and have a quick look—only after we pointed out that most people wouldn't book something without seeing it first.

To our surprise, considering it was the school holidays, the place was practically empty. While we understand that the water may be cold this time of year, we expected the other activities to be busier. The climbing area was very small, and the zip line looked underwhelming, barely extending over the water.

What’s most frustrating is that nowhere on the website does it state that if you haven't booked an activity, you won’t be welcome on the site. Had this been made clear, we wouldn’t have wasted our time visiting in the first place.

Overall, between the unwelcoming attitude of the security staff and how lifeless the place felt, I’m extremely glad we visited before committing to any bookings. This experience has completely put us off, and we won’t be returning.

We stayed at the fishing lodge and I did not want to leave! We had a wonderful time. The location is secluded and tranquil watching the wildlife was amazing. The service was absolutely superb. Laura is brilliant nothing was a problem for her, it was a pleasure to meet her. This is a must stay and a fantastic place. We will definitely return. Thanks for having us! 😊

Everything was amazing! 100/100

The lodge was very nice, cozy, compact and modern. Definitely recommend. We had our own cozy hot tub when heated was perfect. The view as spectacular also, the layout is very nice aswell. Definitely coming back!

Despite the grey, cold, wet weather, it was well worth the stay! The summer activities were not in action, but if you’re looking for a peaceful getaway in winter, with a personal hot tub, definitely consider going here.

The staff were very welcoming and eager to help with anything. Laura was our host so thank you very much Laura!

We will definitely be returning in future!

We booked for spa and hot tub (wellness) as a friend recommendation. We loved it and had no idea about this place.

Staff were amazing, facilities were good and loved our time there. Will definitely come back.

We spent another relaxing day at this little stunning place enjoying the sunshine on an hot jacuzzi (41 degrees was the water temperature) . The weather was enjoyable as well as the company. You have to pre book quite in advance but they provided you car parking , 1,5 hours of time to spend between many jacuzzi and the Sauna and (if you dare cause today the lake temperature was 5.5 degrees) even a quick lake swim. They also allow upon request to get some food delivered from the nearby cafe, and today we went for a delicious Italian style pizza and chips. The perfect Sunday!
