Ever thought about coming to the Lake House but don't drive?

The 510 bus from Ashford stops less than a five minute walk away from our gates!

Just ask the driver to drop you at the stop by the Esso garage and get the bus back the opposite side of the road (just passed the Beefeater)

We are open 7 days a week from 10am to 4pm, so you can spend the day here!

You can find the 510 timetable via the Stagecoach website using this link

See you soon!

Men’s Wellbeing in Ashford: Finding support & digging into community. 👥🌱

If you’re a local man looking to improve your wellbeing, connect with a solid community, or give back to a local initiative, we have two fantastic ways for you to get involved right here at our alcohol-free sanctuary in Hothfield.

1. 👥 Join MenTalk Ashford (Every Tuesday)
If you need a space to unwind, talk through life’s pressures, or just listen, our male-focused support group is here for you.

When: Every Tuesday evening

Cost: Completely FREE

What: A casual, absolutely zero-pressure group for local men. No expectations, no judgment—just a supportive space to realise you aren't carrying the weight alone.

2. 🌱 Help Us Build the Reflections Community Garden (Volunteers Needed!)
We are currently transforming our outdoor space into a peaceful community garden, and we need hands on the ground to bring it to life.

Getting your hands in the soil, learning new skills, and working outdoors is an incredible, proven way to boost your own mental wellbeing while creating a lasting legacy for the community. Whether you're a skilled carpenter, an avid gardener, or just have a few hours to spare and want to muck in with a great team, we would love to have you.

🔗 Get Involved Today
To join MenTalk: Just turn up on a Tuesday evening—the kettle is always on.

To volunteer for the garden build: Drop us a message directly or email us to find out our next community dig days.

For 1-to-1 support: Remember, our full directory of experienced counsellors and holistic practitioners can be found under the 1-2-1 tab on our website.

Let's look out for ourselves and each other. See you at The Lake House soon!

We’re halfway through Men’s Health Week. How are you actually doing? ⏱️💬

It’s easy to hit "like" on an awareness post, agree with the statistics, and keep moving. But today, we want to pause the scroll and check in on you.

We are officially at the midway point of the week, and this is your gentle reminder that taking care of your mental health isn’t a one-time event—it’s an ongoing practice.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or like you're carrying a heavy load entirely on your own, please know that you don't have to navigate it in silence. True strength isn't about hiding the struggle; it's about having the courage to put the weight down.

🏡 Need a space to reset? We’re here.
If you're looking for a safe space or a male practitioner to talk to, The Lake House team is here to support you with dedicated 1-to-1 sessions, including:

Counselling & Talk Therapy

Hydrotherapy Massage

Reiki & Sound Baths

👉 To find and book a session with one of our male practitioners, just head to our website and click the 1-2-1 tab.

🗓️ Missed our Tuesday group?
Our free MenTalk Ashford group meets every single Tuesday evening. It’s a completely casual, zero-pressure space to grab a cuppa, chat, or just listen to other local guys who understand. Mark it in your calendar for next week—you are always welcome.

Your challenge for the rest of the week:
Reach out to one mate today. Send a text, grab a coffee, or pick up the phone. A simple, "Hey, just checking in—how are things really going?" can change someone's entire week.

Let's finish the week strong by looking out for ourselves and each other.

Why more men are choosing male-led wellbeing support. 🗣️💼

When it comes to mental health and wellness, finding the right fit matters. For many men, sitting down with a male practitioner makes all the difference. It can break down that initial barrier, reduce the pressure, and make it a whole lot easier to open up without fear of judgment.

Here at The Lake House, we hear you. We are proud to have a fantastic team of experienced male wellbeing practitioners ready to support you on your journey—whether you want to talk things out, destress, or completely reset.

Here is how you can work with our male practitioners:

Counselling & Talk Therapy: Safe, confidential 1-to-1 spaces to navigate life’s pressures, anxiety, burnout, or big life changes.

Hydrotherapy Massage: Release the physical tension and stress that a heavy mind leaves behind in your muscles.

Reiki & Sound Baths: For a deeper emotional and mental reset, helping you switch off a racing mind and find genuine calm.

👥 Looking for community? Join MenTalk Ashford
If you aren't ready for a 1-to-1 session but want to connect with other local guys who get it, come along to MenTalk Ashford

When: Every Tuesday evening

Cost: Completely FREE

What: A casual, no-pressure space to chat, listen, and realise you aren't carrying the weight alone.
