The 1.5 acre lake is on-site and exclusively yours for the duration of your stay. It is perfectly sized for a couple of anglers and contains a mix of common and mirror carp to 60lb plus a selection of catfish (to almost 100lb), grass carp (to 40lb), sturgeon, koi carp, pike, roach and tench.
The lake consists of a sandy bottom with silt patches in places and the water varies in depth up to just over 2 metres. It can be fished from a small island as well as the dam wall. It's also possible to stalk for fish in the margins at various points. You can fish overnight without a need for any permits.
We take our lake development and the welfare of our fish seriously. Every two years we drain and net the lake, removing all the smaller nuisance fish. We have reduce the levels of silt, remove snags and obstacles as well as tending to a number of trees so that fishing the lake is a pleasure. The fish stock has been improved and all have been hand-picked prior to their introduction. We have recently created a new habitat to increase the abundance of natural food and provide cover for the pike to ambush fish. The fish are fed all year round using high quality pellet.
If you are not an angler then the lake is a part of the grounds for you to enjoy and relax. The sun sets over the lake in the evening so you can sit with a cold drink and soak up the last of the sun which the day has to offer. It is possible to walk all the way around the lake and there is a picnic table available so you can sit out and have lunch or dinner if you wish. If nothing else you can just take in the wildlife which includes various birds of prey and several owls, cuckoos, golden oriols and kingfishers to name but a few.
Additional Services
Landing nets, landing mats and weigh slings provided as standard.
Pellet and and boilies can be provided for an additional charge and a bivvy is available for hire also.
