Literally everything was thought of - from extra towels and binoculars down to things for the kids to play with and little treats in the fridge.

Nothing

The Lodge and the location. Lovely view, peace and quiet, dogs allowed off the lead - just lovely.

Although the property isn't necessarily marketed as a fishing location, both the boys agreed that there was definitely a lack of fish in the lake and that was a real shame. It had been explained that there may have been an otter problem from the River Stour and we think that may have been more of a problem than the owners realized. They still enjoyed it and loved the location etc, it really was very nice, but in the end they did pop down the road to a Fishery for a few hours and caught a couple each. I'm sure we'll be back for a visit in the future and hopefully all the baby fish will have grown and been left alone by the otters by then - fingers crossed.
