Shiplate Farm Fishery

We liked - that the site was so peaceful, the pitches have a lovely view of the lake, the friendly, relaxed staff and the delicious cooked breakfast!

Beautiful quiet setting, amazing scenery,

Motor home was too big for EHU but owners arranged another area for us

Beautiful area lovely friendly people great fishing glad we came across this site we will be returning soon

No showers or loo but this wasn't a problem as we had our own.

Beautful stay n place

As its a feeding place ducks geese etc there were a few flies about but its to be expected very small criticism

We enjoyed the peace of the site and the fact that there are only 2 pitches. Great that each pitch has its own individual water supply. Although there is activity each morning with anglers arriving, this didn't disturb us. The fishing lakes are far enough away from the pitches not to be a disturbance. The site is some distance from the main road so there is no road traffic noise at all. If you want peace and quiet, this is the site for you!
The site manager was very friendly and helpful. So too the owner.
Also enjoyed having the ducks and geese roaming around, as well as a visit from the cat!
Easy drive to local attractions e.g. Tyntsfield House, Cheddar, Street etc.

Minor grummbles that detracted from the stay:
- Despite being mentioned a couple of times, we weren't provided with a 'welcome pack' so had no information other than from Pitch Up
- We were locked out of the site because the Manager had left early. Unfortunately, the owners hadn't thought to keep their mobiles with them so I had to climb over the fence to get in. Not a major issue but also not great customer experience at the end of a tiring day.
- Difficult to get motorhome level due to pitch being on stones..... ramps just sank into the stones. Recommend levelling pitch with concrete base (or similar).
- Would have been great to have wifi as the local mobile data signal was so weak.
These points wouldn't stop us coming again but are included here as constructive feedback to help future guests.

With only 2 pitches this site is very exclusive. We would highly recommend if your looking for a rural peaceful get away. The site is new and the owners are tweaking the pitches, they are looking to add a bathroom for quests later.
The pitches look straight down the main lake so you can sit and watch the anglers and wildlife, even feed the ducks and geese. If fishing is your thing you just found heaven, I am a sea angler but Steve loaned me some gear and over the course of my week had several short sessions with 30+ carp averaging 10lbs the best 19.5lbs.
During are stay my wife was taken ill resulting in 3 days in hospital, everyone was so supportive including Steve and Ally the fishery workman also Adam and Sue could not do enough to help out.
We would highly recommend this site to anyone looking to escape to the country.

This site is part of a working fishery as such there are anglers around the lakes during the day but nowhere near the pitches this is not a problem for us but worth noting.
The pitches, as mentioned, are in the process of completing. We where the first motor-home on site the feed back we have given them is going to be actioned, saying that we did not have a problem with the pitch.
As per the add there is no washroom on site at present, the owner has told me this is planned for the near future.
One thing to note, the nearest village is a couple of miles away and Weston is 5 miles, not walking distance, as we where there for the week we had pre booked a hire car from Enterprise, they came and picked us up and dropped us back at the end of stay.

Very picturesque

No toilets or showers . I didn’t read the small print 😵😭
