Dog-Friendly Fishing Pods With a Rod Included and Two Coarse Lakes

Five glamping pods overlooking the top lake at Springwood Fisheries near Melbourne in Derbyshire, each with one rod's fishing included. The two lakes hold a wide mix of coarse fish, from carp to barbel and ide, and dogs stay for a small charge.

Our take

An affordable pod stay with fishing on the doorstep and a varied coarse stock. The pods overlook the top lake, one rod is included in the price, and the two lakes hold common, mirror, ghost and crucian carp, tench, ide, chub, roach, rudd, perch and barbel. It is simple and good value rather than luxurious. It suits a couple or a small family who want a budget fishing break.

Good for

  • Budget fishing breaks
  • Mixed coarse fishing with plenty of species
  • Bringing a dog

Think twice if

  • You want hotel comfort: pods are basic, and you bring your own bed linen for the deluxe pods
  • You are fishing with several people: the price includes one rod per pod

Pack bed linen and your own tackle

The deluxe pods are fully equipped apart from bed linen, and the included rod means you bring your own gear.
