Description from owner

Description

The property consists of a three and a half acre fishing lake located in thirty seven acres of woodland. We only ever let to one group at a time so privacy is assured and guests are able to fully enjoy the peace and seclusion of this very special place

The cabin sleeps 2 , additional members of your group are welcome to camp. Bell tents or fishing bivis can be hired and pre-pitched or you are welcome to bring your own. A traditional bell tent with double air bed and single bed including all bedding is E40 per stay. A modern three layer tent sleeping two comfortably is E30 per stay .

The lake in contrast to the area is well populated and the woodland is home to a variety of wildlife. On your first night here you will feel like you have stepped back in time. Light, noise and traffic pollution become a thing of the past, the only sounds being water flowing into the lake and that of the animals and birds inhabiting the forest.

This venue will not suit everyone, it is remote and completely off grid. Think glamping meets drive and survive !However if you're after some quality family time away from modern distractions, real privacy and have a passion for wildlife and wild fishing this could be the venue for you !
