The lake is stocked with several species of Carp, including Common, Linear and Mirror. We also have Perch, Roach, Rudd and Bream.

Sorry no. Our insurance won’t allow any activity other than fishing from the decks.

There you will find a fire bowl, and campfire shelter. Under the seat of the shelter is a black box, (one for each property), containing several logs and a bundle of kindling with firelighters in the centre.
The matches will be in your kitchen on the shelves, (in Otter Cottage they are in the cupboard above the sink).
The marshmallows and skewers are in your welcome pack. For safety all fires must be in the fire bowl only please.
Can we have visitors?
Sorry no. Only those on your original booking are permitted on our premises due to our insurance terms.
