Lakeside Glamping Pods With Day and Night Fishing in Suffolk

Woodland retreats, three lakeside glamping pods and premium glamping, including a converted Bedford truck and The Quirky Carp, beside fishing lakes at Clare in the Stour Valley. Day and night fishing and overnight fishing stays are offered.

Our take

Characterful glamping with the lakes a few steps away. Rum Bridge offers some of the more unusual stays we list, from Armadillo, a classic Bedford truck, to a shepherd's hut and three lakeside pods, with day and night fishing on its lakes. Facilities are shared: flushing toilets, hot showers and a kitchen area. The venue does not publish species or weights, so ask before you book a serious session.

Good for

  • Couples wanting quirky glamping
  • Relaxed overnight fishing
  • Longer stays with flexible check-in

Think twice if

  • You want en-suite lodge comforts: facilities are shared
  • You need stock details: species and weights are not published

Stay three nights
