South East

From the moment you’re greeted by a squadron of swans in the lake to your first leisurely stroll around the small central square, you’re struck by the village-like sense of community and wellbeing. As with any thriving village there’s lots to do; from the bars, café and nightly entertainment to tennis, pitch ‘n’ putt, archery and bowls. Lakeside is home to a championship standard indoor bowls hall which is home to our Warner Champion of Champions bowls competition and also National and International competitions.

If you prefer a little occasional solitude and contemplation,the tranquillity of Lakeside’s location a pebble’s throw from the Solent, with fine landscaped gardens and idyllic views across the nearby marina is sure to make you reach instinctively for easel and canvas. Visit the local ancient market town of Arundel, with its impressive castle and many antique and craft shops, or the city of Chichester with its harbour aspects and astonishing Norman cathedral, or Portsmouth Harbour, where the 170m Spinnaker Tower peers down on the hugely fascinating HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and the Mary Rose.

But it’s ultimately the welcoming atmosphere of Lakeside and the easy amiability of your Warner hosts that’ll make your holiday as memorable as you want it to be. Helpful, friendly and down-to-earth, it’s small wonder we welcome the same blissfully happy guests year after year.
