Lakeside Fishing Lodges

The cabin was adequate in construction and facilities well suited to a basic fishing trip. The shower was either boiling hot or cold despite it being an independently heat power shower - no middle ground which caught all three of us out - Ouch !! The hot water temperature at all taps was scalding hot. Again all three of us got caught out at some point - Ouch again !! The major gripe was that this was a fishing trip and between three us us over 3 nights we managed to catch only one carp. We considered maybe we were just inept fishermen but conversations with the other guests painted the same picture - no fish. It’s a glorious spot and set up adequately but if the lake has no fish then it’s a blank as a fishing venue !!

Easy to find with sat nav, although the entrance to the site popped up so suddenly we almost missed it, and I don't think the outer gates actually have the name of the site on them, so we were not too sure we were in the right place until we spotted the large rock with the site map on it. Good parking right outside and next to the lodge for two cars. The lodge was spacious with comfy king size beds with clean white linen and four pillows. Fluffy, thick white towels, one bath and one hand towel per person, are provided. The bathroom and kitchen are both modern with a good hot shower. Toilet roll, kitchen roll and hand wash is provided as well as washing up liquid, dishcloth and one tea towel. Everywhere was clean. The internet was good (5 bars) and TV with Netflix is available. Unfortunately, our fishing experience was not good, but this is just how it goes. Amy and Paul were brilliant - so kind and caring when we initially had a problem accessing the internet. They got us up an running in no time. The outside area of the deck is a little tired and could do with a lick of paint but this doesn't affect the holiday. Beautiful views across the lake. As a relaxing break away from home it ticked all the boxes.

Came ere Thursday morning to come fishing with a group of friends had the best 3 day’s fishing experience ever owners are lovely people and could not do enough for you down to telling you where to fish. Out of 5 it would be a 5 very good place and we will be coming back soon

We have just returned from a second visit to this fabulous venue. We stayed in Dragonfly again and found it to be just as comfortable, spotlessly clean and well equipped as last time. The site is a complete haven of peace and tranquility and the feeling of relaxation and chilling from the cares of the world begins from the moment that you drive through the gates. As a pleasure angler of over 50 years experience, I can genuinely say that I have never fished at a better lake than this one. I would love to keep this wonderful venue as my secret place, but that would be unfair to Amy, Paul and their team, who have created such a wonderful holiday destination. I was staggered to see that there were actually some negative reviews on here. Who are these people and what is wrong with them! If you like to feel totally relaxed, at one with nature, and are an angler seeking a perfect fishing experience, then this is the place for you.

Booked the Ladybird pod which was lovely. Looks small but has everything you need and makes it very cosy. We booked 2 nights and on the last night the owners actually called me to ask if we wanted to stay another night at a reduced rate as there was a cancellation. Everything was clean and the lake is so peaceful. We are coming again for my husbands birthday in July this time booked into the Lilypad pod.

Absolutely stunning location, stayed in a Dragonfly log cabin, terrific view, really nice warm feel, more than adequate facilities, the log fire was a lovely addition. As anglers of a few years, love a new challenge and weren't disappointed, caught some great mixed bags, with a fair few fish adequate in weight to make a good weight if it was a match. Their was some big fish moving around and probably zoo creatures showing as the weather warms up. Had a lovely feel about it, given the right opportunity, would return.

If reading this and thinking of booking then please don't hesitate! It's wonderful! You won't be disappointed we were blown away by everything. The cabin was the Dragonfly and was absolutely spot on so clean and spacious the log burner was so good and warmed up quickly. The cabin had everything you could want even down to a lighter and some matches to light the wood. The logs were nearby to help yourself too. The view to the lake was beautiful and it was so peaceful we had a visit from the ducks too on our decking. The bed was so comfortable and the linen was pristine. Really couldn't fault it 👌🏻 What a gem of a place ✨️

Excellent!!! By far the best lakeside fishing lodge I've been too. Sunflower 🌻 lodge had all we needed, very clean and comfortable with a great view of the lake off the veranda. We only fished with feeder rods with bandems using groundbait or 2mm pellets on a method feeder, we caught a good mix of fish carp, tench, roach, rudd and bream. Best place to fish near the house we didn't but see some big fish coming out that end. We found just as its getting light Fishing far margin from sunflower Lodge we caught our best fish 14lb common carp the best on a 10' feeder rod (30g weight) is fun to land. 12lb carp a couple of 10s lots of 7-8lb carp and loads of 3-5lb carp. Would totally recommend this place for fishermen who like to have 1st class accommodation not just make do because your a fishermen. The owners are really approachable and will guide you . We will be looking to book a return visit for later in the year or next year.

We have just returned from a 5 night stay in lavender lodge after staying in sunflower lodge in July. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Amy went above and beyond to help us and we are so thankful. Both times the lodges were extremely clean and very spacious. We had an amazing number of fish out all in good condition with a variety of species too. Overall an amazing trip and hopefully we can book in again soon.
