Fishing

If you want to completely get away from it all on your holiday and simply relax in the fresh air of the Somerset countryside, why not bring your fishing rod and enjoy the best quality coarse fishing in the heart of Somerset.

The fishing rivers and lakes are located short drives from either of the properties, and maps of the permitted areas will be provided when we greet you upon your arrival.
