Coarse Fishing

Available on our two private fishing lakes close to the holiday cottages. These are two well established lakes covering about 1.5 acres of varying depths to 10 feet.

The lakes, although not large are well stocked with carp to double figures, bream to 9lb, tench and roach, all of which are in excellent condition, providing the more experienced angler with an enjoyable trip, whilst being fun for the family and providing good sport for all. Recent anglers have caught 10lb carp and 2.5lb tench and some nice roach.

Located just 5 minutes drive from the cottages, with a panoramic view down the Axe valley, the rural setting provides the perfect place to relax, fish, and observe the wildlife; foxes, deer and towards evening , badgers can be spotted along with quite a few species of waterfowl. The lakes have been fenced to keep otters out so it is possible you may see one of these elusive creatures too.

You are welcome to picnic at the lakes, but please keep dogs under strict control and take all your litter home.

There will be a small charge of £10 per adult and £5 per child under 12, payable at the time of booking your cottage, and for this you may fish anytime during your stay and for as many days as you wish.

For those not staying at the cottages there will be a charge of £5 per day.

Fishing licences are required. No boilies, nuts or beans. Open from dawn to dusk. All fish to be returned.

Our visitors have had some good fishing throughout 2011.
