papabill Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 alright lads, well i know that its a cardinal sin but ive decided to bring my missus fishing with me for a few days, only problem is, she doesnt do bivvy's or roughing it!!! so i need to find a place that has accomodation on the lake (log cabin etc) fully loaded with shower, toilets and a proper bed. now i went to anglers paradise a few years ago and loved it but the cabins arent actually on the lakes. so can anyone suggest anywhere that fits my criteria????? as many suggestions as possible please lads as some places might be fully booked!!!!! cheers!!! bill magic! absolute magic!!!

speall Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 Hi Bill, You do realise that you will go to 'Hell' if you take the missus!!! Does she fish? if not lets hope she can at least do a tea and bacon buttie!!! (lets see how many that upsets!!!) Have you tried Centre Parcs? I know they are not log cabins but most of the lodges back onto a lake of some sort. Fish Safe Keepin' it reel Speall Quote

bobstains Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 Wildmoor might keep her happy http://www.wildmoorwaters.co.uk/ I have been wracking my brains all afternoon to try to remember the name of this place.. I remember reading a bit about this place. Quote
bluebirdjones Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 Wildmoor might keep her happy http://www.wildmoorwaters.co.uk/ That would be my suggestion, I've done a few nights there, nice clean place. These have huts as well. http://www.pavyottsmill.co.uk/information.php?info_id=7 Quote
welder Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 Milton Pools near Oxford would tick all the necessary boxes. Tackle shop, cracking cafe and newly built chalet/bungalows for rent. Night fishing is permitted, it's advisable to book in advance for the Specimen Pool, though. Your lady could drive into Oxford for a little retail therapy if she were bored, leaving you to target them catfish and carp in the Specimen Pool. I've done a couple of weekends on there and really like it. Take a look on Fisheries .co.uk. For recent catch reports go to www.miltonpoolsfishery.co.uk Ian Quote
mushroomik Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 milton pools really nice place to fish can be a tricky little water dont over do it with bait simple method will sufice. the cabins a just that no bed or electrictay but enough room or two with bed chairs,the motorway side can be a bit noise the m40 runs along side it and dose ont stop day or night. most popular swims are 1,2 ,3,4, ,5,6 they allhave cabins 13,14,15, are good they dont have cabins 16,17, have cabins and i think 18,19 done cant remeber. 7,8 ,9,10 and 11,12 they have cabins but are all on the motorway side dont get me wrong good swims but noise. park and ride only 10mins from the fishery so she can go shopping as welder said cracking cafe and ray and val are really nice peolpe i cant rate them enough they are always nice and friendly their really nice to the little lad when he comes with me. but do phone and book because it can get bizzy.

elmovillan Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 Stafford Moor? Not sure if they're actually lakeside, but the accomodation is luxury canadian log cabins. Four or five lakes to go at with a mix of fishing. Quote
alexhayton Posted August 19, 2009 Report Posted August 19, 2009 probably way to far for you but just south of kendal lake district thers a lake called tewitfields which has log cabins right on the lake especialy for family and it holds some very good fish 30s Quote
