Our take

One of the easiest first fishing holidays we list, with plenty of room around each cabin. Only seven cabins share 45 acres, the lakes are fully stocked for pleasure fishing and it is included with every stay. Guests report 50 plus fish in two days and children catching carp, with a 22lb 8oz fish noted by the venue. It suits families and beginners more than specimen hunters.

Good for

  • Families with children learning to fish
  • Beginners who want plenty of bites
  • Peace and quiet near the New Forest

Think twice if

  • You want big carp: it is a pleasure fishery
  • You need a hot tub: only four of the seven cabins have one

Pick a hot tub cabin

Kingfisher, Birches, Hazel and Meadows are the cabins with hot tubs.
