Such a wonderful place, with well organised and exciting events. The bonfire night is amazing, and in recent years the stalls and food venues really add to the experience (never mind seeing the fireworks over the water). The Santa Experience is so well thought out and really adds to the magic and memories of Christmas, the boat ride to the island is really what separates it from any similar experience in Shropshire -but the whole team put their all in and make it magical! All events are fun, memorable and well worth the money and the team are amazing!

We took our toddler on the Christmas Island Experience today and it was far and above what we all expected. Absolutely magical from start to finish and well worth every penny. I think the grown ups enjoyed it just as much as our little one! Thank you to all the elves and Father Christmas for working hard to make it so special.

Best afternoon tea for my 20th birthday. Staff always so lovely. Cakes are gorgeous. Can’t wait to go again!!!

We had an amazing time at the ice bar yesterday. Would highly recommend it is something completely different. We had to cancel at late notice before Christmas because of a parent being admitted to hospital and they very kindly changed to booking without charging us again we were very grateful and a lovely gesture thank you

An excellent little walk with children’s play equipment scattered around. Really enjoyed our afternoon here with a 10 year old, 4 year old and the dog. Not tried any water activities but after seeing them today, we definitely will plan to do so in the future

“Superb day out, the facilities are fantastic and my family thoroughly enjoyed all the activities they took part in. We will definitely be visiting again.”

Great Parkrun lovely park

Excellent home cooked food. Service brilliant. Very friendly and helpful. Good value for money. Very clean. Good ambience.

After recent storm damage to our little school, we can’t thank Rob, Alice and the whole of the team at Alderford Lake enough.

Our children struggle with change due to their individual needs and a need for structure, routine and predictability, so thank you all for allowing us to base ourselves on site this week and next week, and for allowing us to deliver an outdoor learning curriculum at Alderford, without questions or hesitation.

We have been welcomed and accommodated, and we’re humbled by your kindness, during such an unexpected situation to find ourselves in.

Alderford is a true example of community inclusion and partnership working and we are grateful for the generosity being shown to us.

We highly recommend a visit.

The wildlife is wonderful, the cafe is so accommodating and the people are so kind and helpful.

Loved our day at Alderford. Did the water park course and it was great, and the water was warm and clean!

“First time we’d visited Alderford. We were a big party & every thing was lovely. Staff polite & Food excellent 👍 “

Our first visit. Very impressed with the cafe, farm shop, and facilities round the lake. A family could easily spend a whole day there, and many obviously were!

A lovely easy walk round the lake which will be equally nice whatever the season.
