Accessible, Dog-Friendly Fishing Lodges With Carp to 30lb
Four log cabins at Knockin in north-west Shropshire overlooking two pools, with coarse fishing included and a specimen pool holding carp to 30lb. All cabins have ramp access, one has an accessible wet room and both pools have disabled swims.
The most accessible fishing lodges we list, with a proper specimen pool too. Every cabin has ramp access, Cabin 4 has an accessible wet room, and both pools have disabled access and swims, which very few fishing lodges offer. Eccleston Pool is included with the stay and suits beginners; Blurton Pool, with commons and mirrors to 30lb, is u00a310 a day extra. It suits families, groups with a wheelchair user and anglers who want an easy pool and a harder one.
Good for
- Anglers or guests who use a wheelchair
- Families with young or new anglers
- Carp anglers who want a harder specimen pool on site
Think twice if
- You want night fishing: the pools run dawn to dusk
- You want a hot tub at the door: the hot tubs sit 20 metres from Cabins 2 and 3, at extra cost
Book Cabin 4 for the wet room
All cabins have ramps, but Cabin 4 is the one with the accessible wet room. If you want a hot tub, it is Cabins 2 and 3.
