What customers say
Shiplate Farm Fishery is highly praised for its peaceful, tranquil atmosphere, beautiful lakeside views, and friendly, welcoming hosts, Sue and Adam. Guests highlight the clean and well-maintained facilities, including toilets, showers, and a food-prep area. The farm animals add to the charm. While most found the site perfect for a relaxing getaway, a few noted the country lanes leading to the site can be narrow for larger motorhomes. A single report of loud music from a neighbouring property was addressed by the manager.

Electric gravel motorhome pitch (lake view)
Liked Had a fabulous stay here with a very spacious pitch overlooking the lake. A lovely warm welcome from Sue who is an amazing host, very friendly, helpful and went over and above to ensure our stay was special.
The site is peaceful, clean and a very relaxing place to spend time.
I particularly liked the access to the River Axe for paddleboarding and was extremely lucky to see an otter.
I will be back to stay again.

Amazing place for a long weekend
Electric gravel motorhome pitch (lake view)
Liked The site was relaxing with great views of the lake. Plenty of ducks and geese wondering around. Great walks fishing areas looked amazing although we did not fish. The facilities were clean and tidy. The shower was hot. All in all a great weekend break. Plus the host was welcoming!
Disliked Only issue was the loud music on the Saturday night which went on until midnight. I was not able to sleep until after the music had stopped. So the 10.30am check out was a struggle for us. A later check out would have been better or an option to pay for one. Some sites charge an extra £5 for 2pm late check out.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you for the positive feedback. Unfortunately the load music was from a party at a neighbours farm, so totally out of our control. If you had messaged me I would have gladly confirmed a later checkout at no extra charge. Sue
