Mi è piaciuto Super little one night stay. Easy to find and park and access the cabin. Warm dry comfy and cosy. Liked the picnic table outside and the microwave and kettle were much appreciated ( not in all shepherds huts you stay in) great WiFi even though it wasn’t mentioned in the info. Super little find would definitely stay again.

Non mi è piaciuto Would have liked something in the cabin to transport water with. Luckily I had my drinks bottle - otherwise not sure what I would have done.

Mi è piaciuto We stayed a weekend in a small cabin , we loved the place , very cosy, the amenities were top , showers , toilets , we has a great breakfast in the cafe and the bar , everyone was very helpful , and was clean and tidy , definitely go back

Non mi è piaciuto Not being told the water level was very low and dangerous to fish , was also not happy that someone was able to park in front of our lodge all weekend and had to look at a big white transit ,this ruined our time there , the fact swims can be booked in your location separately is not a great idea, also having the airer in the middle of my swim was not on the picture or informed of

Mi è piaciuto Spacious pitch. Quiet with views across one of the fishing lakes. 1 min walk to toilets and showers. All facilities really well maintained and clean. Staff super friendly and welcoming. Bar and restaurant was a real bonus.

Mi è piaciuto Toilet block.

Non mi è piaciuto Water levels extremely low and the swim that i was ushered to by an unfriendly Bailiff was unfishable as not only was the water low but the banks very high which meant even if you managed to catch a fish if it was heavy it would be inhumane and stressful for the fish to lift it out about 2 mts and you'd need a landing net with a 3mt handle! which my 2mt handle usually is adequate.
Unfortunately, i didn't really take much notice on arriving and was concentrating on setting up my trailer tent, it wasn't until i'd finished when i realised how difficult it was going to be to fish the swim, so the next morning i expressed my dissatisfaction with not only the lake where i had to fish, but all the lakes were extremely low, so the receptionist phoned the boss and i spoke to him and he apologised and offered me a free day's fishing once the levels were back up and said that for now i could fish on any of the 5 lakes, (which,by the way, the Bailiff didn't say to me to have a look around the lakes and fish one that suits you ,but no, he shows me to the particular swim ,points out the electric point and just says "that's your electric there" and then drives off.
I realise that the cause of the low water levels were due to a hot summer and no rainfall, but my argument with this Fishery was once the levels reach that level and catching and landing fish is both stressful and inhumane for the fish and it's not the way i want to catch any fish, therefore, it would have been the right thing to do to contact future bookings to explain the situation to them and to give them the option of cancelling (with full refund) or to keep the booking! I would definitely have cancelled.
So after my converstion with the boss i found a swim on another lake which whilst it involved putting all my tackle on the edge of the bank, climbing down the bank for about 4/5 ft and setting up on rocks with the water under my chair, i'm in my 70's and don't expect to have to deal with this scenario.
After fishing for a couple of hours the Bailiff shows up and asks me if i'd booked to fish on this lake, to which i replied that i'd just spoken to the boss and he'd told me that i could fish anywhere and on any lake, so he went off in a huff only to return later, he then explained to me that this lake has to be booked (even though there was nobody else fishing there, or wanting to!!! jobsworth) and then started to question my rod test curve etc, i was getting really annoyed with his aggresive and disrespectful attitude that even though i was perfectly entitled to fish there i couldn't put up with this man any longer so i just packed up and left.
My stay should have been 3 nights of idyllic fishing, with the luxury of actually camping on your swim, unfortunately this experience was dreadful and i left a day early never to return.
