Fishing Breaks throughout the UK

For anglers looking to explore the beauty of the UK's rivers and lakes, there are plenty of options to choose from. Lesser-known rivers such as the River Wye in Wales or the River Test in Hampshire are renowned for their excellent fly fishing opportunities. These tranquil rivers are home to an abundance of fish, including brown trout, grayling, and salmon. With our range of cottages located near these rivers, anglers can enjoy a peaceful stay surrounded by stunning natural beauty.

For those who prefer sea fishing, the UK's coastline offers an array of opportunities to catch a variety of fish. From mackerel and cod to bass and pollock, the UK's waters are brimming with marine life waiting to be caught. Anglers can try their hand at shore fishing from the rugged cliffs of Cornwall or book a boat trip off the coast of Scotland for a chance to reel in some big catches.

Freshwater fishing is another popular option for anglers looking to experience the UK's diverse fishing scene. From the picturesque lakes of the Lake District to the tranquil canals of Norfolk, there are plenty of opportunities to fish for a variety of species, including carp, bream, and perch. Our cottages near these freshwater fishing spots provide the perfect retreat after a long day of fishing, allowing anglers to relax and unwind in comfort.
