Lake District Fishing Lodges With Hot Tubs and a Private Carp Lake
Lodges at Brayton Park near Aspatria in north Cumbria, several with hot tubs, beside an eight acre old English carp lake that only lodge guests can fish. Bring your own carp gear: there is no tackle hire.
A hot tub lodge break with a wild, old English carp lake kept for guests. The lake is eight acres with two islands and a naturally stocked population of old English carp, and day anglers are not allowed. Fishing is by arrangement from set banks, and you bring your own carp tackle. It suits a couple or family on a Lake District lodge holiday with one experienced carp angler along.

What a Stay at Brayton Park Is Like
Brayton Park is an estate near Aspatria in north Cumbria, with views to the Northern Fells and across to the Scottish hills. The lodges share the site with a golf course, a butcher's shop and in-lodge holistic therapies, and wifi is free.
There are six lodges. Sheraton, Darwin and Brayton each have one bedroom and sleep two; Darwin adds a hot tub, sauna and freestanding bath, and Brayton is known for its lake views and seclusion. Lawson and Wordsworth have two bedrooms and sleep four, Lawson with a hot tub and wood burner, and Wellington has three bedrooms, sleeps six and has a hot tub.
An eight acre, two island lake of old English carp, kept for lodge guests.
The carp lake is the unusual part. It is eight acres with two islands and a naturally stocked population of old English carp, which the venue describes as the only one of its kind in the UK. Only lodge guests fish it, from designated banks, and the estate does not keep tackle for hire, so it is for anglers who bring their own carp kit.
