Diana and Roland Gardner were looking to change their careers and their life. Their plan was to build four family holiday lodges within an idyllic and intimate rural location. Diana fell in love with the idea of having a naturalistic wildlife swimming pool as a focal point within the holiday park. She was introduced to a UK BIOTOP partner and they discussed the idea and the plans and budgets were put in place. The pool sits now in front of the holiday lodges. Diana and Roland say that many of their guests come back primarily because of the pool, as families love to swim in the natural pure water and to watch and photograph the wildlife the pool attracts. Diana continues, “We swim in the pool ourselves most days and it has become a central part of our lives. You see the guests get in the water and can visibly see them start to relax and be rejuvenated by the experience. This is a very special place and provides something very beautiful for us and our guests to enjoy all year round. It is our Oasis.”
