50+ Fishing Lodges With Private Pegs & Lakes On Site [UK]

I’m a big fan of Glamping and lodges for a short break with my family, so I’ve compiled a list of all the places across the UK where you can stay right on the bank! Some have hot tubs you can chill in after a “hard day’s fishing”.

These places have private pegs or swims where you can fish straight from your lodge! Some have fishing on site. Full details are on each listing.

This is more for casual fishing and would suit a family as some lodges have 3 bedrooms. If you’re looking for a little extra chill then book the Glaslyn lodge with 2 bedrooms and an outdoor hot tub!
