Ideal For Families, Couples & Groups
You don’t have to go far to find fun activities at Nyhavn and Norhavn – in fact, you don’t even have to leave the gates. The Cotswold Lakes is designed for easy, relaxed fun, with plenty to keep all ages happily occupied just a short stroll from your front door.
Tennis for All Abilities
Whether you’re a regular player or just fancy a holiday knockabout, the three on-site tennis courts are a brilliant way to start or end the day. There’s plenty of space for a good match, a family doubles tournament, or simply practising with the kids. One of the courts is floodlit, so you can carry on playing as the sun goes down and enjoy cooler evening games in the summer.
Because everything is within the secure, gated development, older children and teens can enjoy a little independence by heading off for a game, while you watch from the sidelines or from the comfort of the lakeside decking.
Adventure Playground for Little Explorers
The adventure playground is always a hit with younger guests. Climbing frames encourage them to scramble, balance and slide, while the soft play area gives toddlers a safe space to join in on the fun. It’s the kind of place where new holiday friendships are made quickly, and where you can sit back on a nearby bench with a coffee while the children burn off some energy.
Because it’s so close to the cottages, it’s easy to pop back for snacks, nap times or an extra layer on breezier days.
Indoor Games Room for Rainy (and Sunny) Days
If the weather turns, or you simply fancy some time out of the sun, the indoor games room is a real bonus. Here you’ll find table tennis, pool, table football and video games – ideal for friendly competitions and family tournaments.
It’s a lively, sociable space where older children and teenagers in particular tend to gravitate, but adults are just as likely to get hooked on “best of three” at the pool table. It’s also a great fallback on cooler evenings when you’re not quite ready to head back to the cottage.
Lawn Game Competitions
For something a little more relaxed, the croquet lawn and boules area offer a slower pace of play. They’re perfect for multigenerational groups, with grandparents, parents and children all able to join in together. These games are great for lazy afternoons, perhaps followed by a drink back on your private decking as the sun sets over the lake.
Football, Cricket & Golf Practice
Sports fans are well catered for too. There’s a football goal for kickabouts and penalty shoot-outs, plus practice nets for cricket and golf so you can work on your swing or bowling action without leaving the development.
It’s an easy way to fill those in-between times – an hour before dinner, a quick run-around first thing in the morning – and a great way to keep active during your stay.
Everything on Your Doorstep
One of the real joys of staying at Nyhavn or Norhavn is how effortless your days can be. With tennis courts, playgrounds, games and lawn sports all on-site, you can build each day around simple pleasures: a relaxed breakfast overlooking the water, an hour on the court, a play session for the little ones, then back to the cottage for lunch and lakeside wildlife watching.
Whether you’re a family with children of different ages, a couple who enjoy staying active, or friends looking for a sociable base, the on-site facilities make it easy to keep everyone entertained – without ever needing to get in the car.
