General

Kingfisher's Perch sits overlooking a scenic fishing lake with just two other lodges nearby. It’s a well-equipped, compact two bedroom holiday lodge that can sleep up to three people in one double and one single bedroom. Up to two dogs are accepted.

The property is screened for privacy, with fencing, ferns, shrubs and small trees. There is a brick patio area with a BBQ and garden chairs, which opens onto a lawn where you can kick back and relax. There’s a fitted kitchen which includes a fridge, microwave, gas oven and hob. The open plan living & dining area has a cosy gas fire.

This is also a great location for enthusiastic Carp fishermen as well as those who prefer coarse fishing. Our 2 acre lake is stocked with Carp (up to 35lb), Tench, Roach, Bream and Perch. Fishing is available at no extra charge and our guests have exclusive use of the lake along with the occupants of nearby Heron's Hide and Grebe’s Nest.

For a holiday with friends or family, why not book all three holiday lodges together and enjoy the privacy that this scenic and relaxing location could offer.
