Self catering UK country holidays

[rarepleasures]

I'm after some recommendations for self-catering holidays (lodges or cottages preferred) in the UK with fishing attached.

 

The other half does not fish and neither of us can drive so once on site there should be plenty to keep her busy, as she's an amateur photographer she likes lots of wildlife.

 

We've been to Woodlakes in Norfolk and the Old Gravels Pits near Allerthorpe both of which have large grounds for her to wander round happily snapping.

 

Ideas please. Thanks.

I've tried choose a cottage before but it doesn't offer much choice, hardly any in fact if you want fishing as well.

Had a couple of nice breaks here http://www.sandy-balls.co.uk/ but it's very expensive during the school holidays, not so bad if you can go during term time.

 

Great location for fishing the Avon and Stour

Close to York - 15 mins on the park n' ride from the Tesco's 5 mins from the site. You do have to work for your fish though....

Lots for familys to do in norfolk especially if you have a car available. Hopefully you will find something!

Here is a really nice fishery and cottages, it’s based on a working farm, really nice countryside and tons of wildlife.

 

The fishing is great, it’s a mixed fishery, Tench, carp, roach (to over a lb) Barbel, Big perch, (5lb 2 oz) biggest so far from Morton springs. Rudd, bream. The fish are the most WONDERFUL colored fish you will ever see, the owner (the farmer 87 YO) puts it down to the spring water, its lightly fished with most anglers targeting the Carp (bigest27lb, average 7lb)

I fish it for the perch and Roach.

The photos on the website are old it has matured a lot since the photo was taken; the fishery was dug 17 years ago.

Interestingly, no Barbel were ever stocked, there are a good number of barbel in the fishery all around the 6-7lb mark, this farm is in the middle of know were and access is only throw the farm, the farmer thinks they have got there themselves as they are all the same year class or they were in with the carp when they were stocked originally, never the less they are fighting fit and seem to love the clear spring water.

 

The area is very peaceful, no traffic sounds, plenty of sheep and some of the best looking cattle you will ever see, he raises and old English bread which are pure white with black noses and ears.

we used to go to York Lakeside Lodges all the time, but the in-laws switched to Woodlakes for the better scenery. YLL is great if you fancy visiting York and the surrounding countryside with just a bit of fishing on the side, but as its situated on the back of a housing estate it doesn't just doesn't cut it for an all day experience.
