  • Angling site with six lakes and the River Idle alongside
  • Regular match venue for coarse fishing, 30 minutes from Sherwood
  • Tackle shop, central amenities and café and licensed restaurant
Spectacular fishing with mighty scenic views... cast off at Nottinghamshire's Hallcroft Fishery and Holiday Park for angling in seven waters on a spacious and well-equipped park. Six lakes are at your fishing disposal here, along with yet more angling in the River Idle which runs alongside the site. You can land bream, eels, roach, tench, perch and varying types of carp at these, including at the huge Moat lake which is a regular venue for matches around its 190 pegs; if you fancy your hand at procuring pike, the river's the place to be. And if you need tackle, kit, bait or any angling advice, a shop for the same is right on site. Hallcroft is two and a half miles from East Retford, about 40 minutes' drive from Newark and half an hour from Sherwood Forest. You can stay solely on site should you so wish: the Kingfisher café and restaurant dishes up full English breakfasts, tea, coffee and toast to sort sustenance before a day's fishing; hot snacks are available some lunchtimes, and evening meals are on offer for after your angling. The restaurant is licensed, to serve boozy beverages during standard pub hours, and a pool table and darts board are to hand too. There are showers and toilets in the centre of the site, part of a good range of amenities including recycling, chemical disposal, a washing-up area and gas cylinder sales.

Bridge Pond electric grass touring pitch

Liked: We arrived after reception had closed however our pitch information was left in a box outside for us to collect. On finding our pitch it was spacious and clean. We were close by to the showers,toilets and the sink to wash your pots. Waste disposal is round the side of the toilet block along with bins that’s are emptied regularly. There is also a disabled bathroom which is lovely and all bathrooms have heating which is just what you need when your cold 😂 they were very clean as well. The play park was close by as well if you had children staying with you. Theres a cafe,bar and fishing shop on site also. It has quite a few fishing ponds but some are match ponds only so you would need to check in the fishing shop before setting up to fish. ALL the staff that we interacted with were all very nice and helped where they could from the girl in the kitchen who stayed behind so we could eat to the man in the fishing shop who found us a rescuer in three lads when we couldn’t start our car. The food is amazing and a reasonable price. Everyone was very friendly and made you feel welcome. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Local attractions

After your angling, take the kids to Sundown Adventureland (20 minutes' drive), a theme and play park for under-10s with rides and attractions of all sorts including an intriguingly-named ostrich safari ride. (You may or may not opt to let the kids know a pet shop is at the park too...) For a calmer time, the National Trust and Grade I-listed Clumber Park is 25 minutes from Hallcroft, for peaceful potters around its 3,800 acres. It's the former home of the Duke of Newcastle, so ponder on how the other half live during your scenic strolls, or hire a bike to pedal around the woodland and lake. National Cycle Route 6 connects Clumber Park with fab Sherwood Forest, along a path of almost seven miles. If you'd prefer to stay closer to home, Hallcroft is next to the biking and hiking of the Idle Valley Nature Reserve, an excellent birdwatching spot.
