About the host
Hosted by David Merry
As a family, we fell in love with this one-of-a-kind property the moment we saw it. Hidden away amongst lakes and woodland, it felt like our own secret retreat... yet it was right on our doorstep.
At first, we imagined it as our forever home. We pictured peaceful mornings by the water, evenings by the firepit, and celebrations that would fill the house with laughter for years to come. But as we settled in, we realised something important: this place was simply too special to keep to ourselves.
And so, Merry Lakes was born. We poured our hearts into upgrading and enhancing the space, keeping all its character while adding the comforts, facilities, and thoughtful touches that make a stay here unforgettable. Today, it’s a place designed for bringing people together, whether that’s for a hen weekend, a milestone birthday, a family reunion, or simply a long-overdue catch-up with friends.
Over time, we’ve watched groups arrive as guests and leave as friends, having created memories they’ll talk about for years. That’s the magic of Merry Lakes: it invites you to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy those rare moments when everyone’s under one roof, sharing stories late into the night.
Whatever brings you here, we hope you’ll find not just a place to stay, but a place to celebrate, reset, and belong.
We can’t wait to welcome you.
