There are regular match days at least twice a week too (booking for these is essential), and all types of anglers will find all types of kit and bait needed in the well-stocked tackle shop. The lakeside café is open from Tuesday to Sunday for sandwiches, breakfasts and hot and cold drinks; the adjacent bar opens on Fridays (6pm-10.30pm) and Saturdays (11am-10.30pm) for refreshing drinks, and it hosts a quiz or bingo night most Saturdays.

What customers say

Peaceful, adult-only spot with spotless facilities, great fishing, and friendly staff. Good value, but expect some road noise and unisex loos. Ideal for relaxing fishing break, many keen to come back.

Mary S. 1 review

Fully-serviced hardstanding touring pitch (lake view)

Liked We liked the site we have been many times.

Disliked The way people were allowed to pitch as it didnt leave sufficient space beyween our van and their awning as they had pitched on the right instead of the left. So the awning was partly on the grass and then they had a windbreak at the edge of the grass so then they used our pitch to walk through to get into theirs.

We booked for two nights but ended up staying three as so peaceful

Electric grass touring pitch (lake view)

Liked Excellent quiet,clean,peaceful site. A fisherman’s dream as plenty of fish to catch on two private lakes just for the small amount of caravan, motor home and pod people. Jeff and Lynn the owners are very friendly and accommodating. Great place to relax and unwind. If there is a very small downside the WiFi isn’t great or tv reception but that certainly isn’t the owner’s fault it’s just the area. Highly recommend.

All in all was a nice relaxing weekend.
