βœ” Winding trails and scenic strolls – perfect for countryside adventures.
βœ” Wildlife encounters – spot butterflies, frogs, kingfishers, foxes, and more.

πŸ’‘ Please Note: The lake is a calm wildlife habitat. Dogs must be supervised and kept on leads near the water to protect the environment for all guests.

Private Carp Fishing in Devon – Catch and Release Only

🎣 OPTIONAL COARSE FISHING EXPERIENCE (CARP)

Although the lake is primarily a t
ranquil wildlife haven, we now offer optional coarse fishing for carp as a paid add-on. It’s a quiet, catch-and-release experience designed for guests looking to unwind by the water.

βœ” Catch carp from the serenity of our private lakeside.
βœ” Purchase a Fishing Pass during booking.
βœ” Bring your own rods and gear – ideal for casual anglers.

Fishing Rules & Guidelines:

🎣 Barbless hooks only.
🚫 No keep nets permitted.
🐟 All fish must be gently handled and returned safely.
🧼 Equipment must be sterilised before arrival to protect the lake’s balance.
🍞 Recommended bait: bread, sweetcorn, simple groundbait & pellets.
πŸ“œ A valid rod licence (from the Post Office or online) is required.
πŸ”’ All carp are microchipped for stock tracking and security.

⚠️ Important Notice:
While the lake is well-stocked and actively managed, nature can be unpredictable. Very occasionally, wildlife (like otters) may reduce fish visibility or numbers. In such rare cases:

🎟️ Fishing ticket costs will be refunded.
πŸ›οΈ Accommodation remains non-refundable, as fishing conditions are beyond our control.

Please book with this natural balance in mind. Fish restocking, when required, only occurs in colder winter months. Nonetheless, the lake remains vibrant — and continues to welcome both wildlife and happy anglers.
