Charlton Lakeside reviews

Beautiful location. You must stop if you’re passing by. We dont live in Andover but are regulars to the area as this is just a few minutes walk from the gym where our son trains for gymnastics. We frequently pop along to the lakes and park with our picnic blanket and a flask of coffee. Lovely. See you there, maybe? 😉👍 …

Lovely lakes to walk around and see the wildlife. Great playarea for kids. The ice creams at the café can be expensive and for some reason is card only. The new crazy golf is ok but the old version was more challenging and fun this one is …

Delightful, well maintained park next to the lake.
The cafe was open later than one would expect. Staff very helpful.
The sandpit was a real favourite.

The staff were so friendly with me it was so heartwarming, when it snowing. Known for their huge portion of chips and luxury hot chocolate and great place to meet, relax and dog friendly.

Lovely place spend time with family. A large play area and the chance to take pedalo/canoes out on the boating pond.

Love it here grew up here and moved away woild love to move back always come here have a walk around. And with crazy golf and a park somewhere to eat too and a paddle lake.

Such a wonderful place to take your kids or in my case my grandchildren. We had a wonderful walk around and they played for about an hour in the playground. Free parking also a bonus.

WARNING
the facilities are great but today a young lad, with blonde hair around 5’6, approx 15 maybe 16 attempted to follow my 9 year old son into the toilet. He was …

mediocre! Signage to park obscured by foliage. Cafe building was uninspiring, from an architectural perspective.
Enquired about boat hire, despite park, cafe and adventure golf open till 6.30pm …

A great open space shared by people and nature with a cafe and playpark as well as some quite easy walks. …

Lovely coffee shop ,Staff are so lovely .They sre great with dogs .

Cool park, nice lakes with short walks. Good parking and nice pavilion in the summer for food, drinks & ice cream with a Tesco Express 5 mins away.
I hope they reopen their pedalo’s this summer, a family favourite for us.

Apparently I visited in September 2020 but unless early on set dementia has kicked in, I should remember it like it was yesterday. A lovely little area for a spot of amateur golf, good size course. Was charged for a children’s ticket but …

Lovely place, only problem is the lovely little cafe maybe be reducing its hours, people need to petition this, we need this cafe it caters for all the visitors to the lovely lakes.

Lovely place for a walk with a nice park and shop for chips and ice cream. Nice and quiet after 3.30pm

Really nice place to spend an afternoon on a nice day. Cheap place to take the kids.

Nice little walk around the lakes and the play area for the kids too is great., with mini golf a little cafe with available toilets

On a boiling hot day in Half Term the staff at Lakeside wouldn’t accept any cash for ice creams meaning my two young children were hot and bothered and left upset. …

Great place for kids like they have sand and water play, swings a little zip line thing. Loads of fields near by as well

Great place to find at the end of a 2 mile walk. Great play area for the children

Nice peaceful place with lots for the children to enjoy. Staff were friendly and helpful on this visit.

Always a lovely place to visit

Good a afternoon out with the grandchildren. Crazy golf and a dry nice park.xx

Great place to get back to nature and quiet in the middle ish of Andover

Hi my first time here. I found the place a lovely setting and plenty of walking and magnificent lakes with swans and quiet I enjoy a lot will be back soon thank u guy

Great place to take the kids and your dogs
Theres a Pitch and put outdoor exercise equipment or go in a boat on the lake and great place to go for a run

A socially distanced visit with family not seen for months. . A lovely walk around the lake. Great play and picnic area. Keep fit area. Cafe and golf was closed. But generally a lovely area to visit.

A lovely park/play area with boating available in the warmer months. Lots of bird life. I didn’t get to use the cafe, so cannot comment.

Well maintained. Has some nice walks and lovely cafe to relax in.

Excellent great for kids beautiful walks

Lovely play park, cafe and clean toilets. 👌 …

Great little cafe, lovely friendly staff.

Very friendly staff certainly know how to look after their customers. Well worth a 5 ***** review

A good place for kiddies, good service salad roll and coffee was lush.

The children’s park here is fantastic. An excellent selection of facilities to exercise the mind and body. The crazy golf and pitch and putt need some updating.

Usually a very good little cafe went in the other week and they had no chips, no ice cream and not much of anything to be honest! It wasnt late in the say this was just gone 12. The park is brilliant along with the wildlife spotting. Maybe the cafe was having an off day!

Lovely place to visit, the pitch and putt was really good. We’ll worth a visit. Lovely lake.

Brilliant place for the kids, with a good cafe with friendly staff aswell 👍 …

Park is good with mixed resources and challenge level for children. Toilets are open and serviceable. Café has a variety of ice-cream and drinks but often sells out early of popular items.

Cafe still not reopened yet. So a little dissapointed that we couldn’t get snacks and drinks whilst there.

Lovely size park, crazy golf, food, drinks and a nice lake 😊 …

A lovely place to stop off for a hot drink on a wet and chilly Bank Holiday Monday. A very warm welcome and friendly service. Highly recommended.

The pavilion staff was very friendly and polite. The prices was very reasonable and the place was very clean and tidy

Café is a good little place for a pitstop, playground for the kids too.
Çafé can sometimes run low on resources at busy times making it appear they have little to chose.
But overall a nice place.

Such a fun playground for kids

There are very nice facilities play park, and lake. Coffee from the cafe was tepid and tasteless.

Beautiful area to chill out in.

Good for a cheap snack and some great smoothies including veg smoothies

Great fun for children.
Ducks and geese poo everywhere on the playground unfortunately.
Poor quality Coffee.

Lovely lake, play park and cafe.

Local cafe to the park. Ok but needs updating inside as still as was 25 years ago!!

Lovely to walk around also a great park

After playing in the children’s play area we had a lovely coffee and cake.

Was really hot and packed not enough outside tables and the cafe could do with a better menu, you only get chips and a bacon roll.

Enjoy a walk around this Lake many times throughout the week, every week.

Really nice nature area. Good for the entire family.

Great place to walk to dog

Nice cafe. Nice staff

Good fun on the golf course but needs a sweep up as balls get stuck on the tree mess.
