A Shepherd's Hut for Two on a Private Carp Lake
A contemporary shepherd's hut for two adults on the bank of a private, stream-fed lake at Stretton Sugwas, near Hereford, with carp of 15–30lb, chub to 7.5lb, barbel and silvers, night fishing allowed, a wood burner and fire pit, and a pub about a mile away.
About as simple as a fishing break for two gets. Carp Cabin is one shepherd's hut on a small private lake, with carp from 15lb to 30lb, chub to 7.5lb and night fishing allowed. Bait boats and bivvies are fine if they do not disturb others. There is a wood burner, a fire pit and the Three Elms pub about a mile away, and Woody's Angling Centre is ten minutes by car.
Good for
- Couples who both fish
- Night fishing for carp
- Bringing up to two dogs
Think twice if
- You want a hot tub: none is listed
- You have children: the hut is for two adults
Stock up at Woody's
Woody's Angling Centre is about ten minutes' drive, so bait can be bought locally rather than carried.
