Roach shepherd's hut
Liked: We stayed in the Roach Shepards hut, which was over looking the lake. It was spotlessly clean. The owners Geraldine and Mark were very welcoming and friendly. We thought the welcome pack - warm croissants, bread, eggs, juice and milk was great. It was so tranquil sitting on the deck watching the wildlife. We will definitely return as I didn't want to leave.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike at all.

From the manager: Thank you so much for a lovely review. We do try to give our guests a nice experience!! Sharing our special place with appreciative guests makes it all worth while.
Gem of a Place!!!

Carp shepherd's hut
Liked: Had a fantastic 5 night stay in the Carp Hut! The hut and private shower room, small walk away, were immaculate; as was the flushable portaloo next to the hut for those caught short moments. The hut is very well kitted out and cosy; I slept really well and I'm 6ft 2"! I had no issue's with WiFi, mobile (EE) connection, and TV reception that were good for all my requirement's. Everyone at the fishery is absolutely lovely and couldn't have been any more helpful! Arriving by bicycle, with plan's to circumnavigate the area with rides planned each day that were thwarted by the very strong winds and bad weather, staff helped by providing a lift to get provisions and picking up essentials (chocolate) later in my stay, as the road's were deemed a little unsafe to cycle! Despite this, the grounds of the fishery provided for a really peaceful stay. The wildlife is amazing, from speaking with the duck's, visit's to the bird feeder from the Woodpecker's and Tit's, and stunning aerial displays's from the Kingfisher's to mention a few! This place is a gem and I wouldn't hesitate to book; especially for the cyclist's out there. It's a great base for jumping onto numerous route's in the area. But beware there are some hill's and you'll have to put the mile's in! I will definitely consider staying again to tackle those hill's! Lastly, thank you so much again for your hospitality Geraldine, Mark, Hilda and Trish; and a big woof to Jade!!!
Disliked: Cafetière/coffee press not big enough for my unhealthy addiction!!!

Roach shepherd's hut
Liked: I stayed here for three nights for a spot of fishing. I was warmly welcomed by the hosts along with hot bread & croissants. Peter was the perfect host and knowledgeable on the fishing of the lakes which are full of various species. Very peaceful & plenty of wildlife to watch whilst casting a line. Accommodation was exceptional, very clean and all the things you could possibly need along with extras of milk, juice and eggs. Toilets/showers also clean and well maintained. I'll be back with my partner and the Top Lake will be my destination next time around. Thanks for making my stay peaceful and enjoyable and the Sausages went down a treat, thank you.

Carp shepherd's hut
Liked: We had a wonderful three night stay in the Perch Shepherds Hut . The hut is beautifully appointed and immaculately clean as is the whole site. The sun had is hat on for the entire stay allowing us to enjoy the views over the lake and beyond. We enjoyed a touch of fishing on the well stocked lake and relaxing in the peace and quiet of the surroundings. Laying in bed in the morning drinking a cuppa, we watched a variety of birds including a woodpecker visit the feeder . Mark and Geraldine are extremely friendly and deservedly proud of what they have achieved. We plan to go back!
Disliked: Having to go home!
