In 2024 it was named by The Guardian as one of the UK's top ten pop up sauna locations. The same year it was named by The Telegraph as one of the best places for a festive dip. One of the lakes is called Monet, named after a series of paintings entitled Water Lilies, due to the fact that those flowers grow in it. Another lake is called M lake; the site also has saunas for use alongside outdoor swimming. The farm also hosts full moon swims, and has a campsite. It was a partner on a 2023 project led by York St John University that explored disabled access to blue spaces.
