Are babies allowed? We have a 4 month old baby girl and would like to know if this is ok?2018-06-30T13:35:32+00:00

We normally don’t allow children and it all depends on if we have other guests staying that would be upset by the fact it is an adult only site. As your 4 months baby cannot walk, we may consider if you think there will be minimal noise. At owners discretion.

Am I allowed to bring my well behaved 14 year old grandson to fish at Lakeside Fishing Lodges?2024-06-30T17:39:58+00:00

If you are an experienced fisherman and can monitor him, then that’s fine. We do not want inexperienced people fishing and damaging our fish. Also, if he is well behaved and quiet, that’s good. We have to bear in mind our other guests booking an adult’s only site.

Can I bring my 4 year old son?2018-06-30T13:34:39+00:00

Unfortunately no. This is an adult’s only site. All of our cabins are situated directly over the lake and we do not feel this is safe for small children.

Anyone bringing children onsite without owners consent will be asked to leave immediately without refund.

Can I bring my well-behaved pet dog?2024-06-30T17:33:01+00:00

No, but we do have a dog friendly site just across the road please visit lakesidefishingretreats.co.uk

Can I pay by card?2018-06-30T13:33:43+00:00

Yes, all of our payments are through our online booking system.

Do you have a hot tub?2025-12-01T21:34:55+00:00

Yes, we have our Cosy Cabins Ladybird & Lily Pad which has a Log Burning Hot Tub, these cabins sleep 1 Couple only as only 1 double bed.

Does the fishing lake get overcrowded? Am I guaranteed a fishing spot?2025-12-01T21:40:00+00:00

We only have 8 lodges in total and fishing is exclusive to cabin guests only as we do not allow day tickets. We have found it’s very rare that all guests in each cabin are fishing people. This is because our site attracts a lot of bird watchers, couples for a romantic weekend away, retired people who just want to relax and, on some occasions, you may find you have the whole lake to yourself to fish from!

Do you have a BBQ we can use?2025-12-01T21:37:23+00:00

Every cabin has a Fire pit which can be turned into a BBQ by simply placing a grill on top of the Firepit! We also sell log packages for £10 at the Pizza Shed & Bar at Lakeside Fishing Retreats. Or you may wish to bring your own kiln dried logs.

Can we eat what fish we catch?2018-06-30T13:28:56+00:00

Certainly not! Anyone found mistreating, killing or eating our fish will be asked to leave
immediately without refund.

Is parking close to the cabin?2018-06-30T13:32:08+00:00

All cabins have their own designated parking space next to the cabin. For any extra vehicles or extra-large vehicles, there is an overspill carpark just a stone’s throw away.

What bait can I use and where can I store it?2018-06-30T13:27:21+00:00

Any bait can be used. All bait must be kept in tubs on the veranda or in the log store where you
can use the fridge/freezers. Do not take any bait inside the cabins.

Do you provide bed linen?2018-06-30T13:31:52+00:00

Yes, we also provide towels, toilet roll, hand soap, shower gels, fairy liquid, tea towels, even tea, coffee & sugar.

How many rods can I use?2018-06-30T13:26:23+00:00

You can fish up to 3 lines, but we’ve found that all our fishermen/women have ended up just
using one as they are quite busy on just the one line!

Are there any pubs or places to eat nearby?2025-12-01T21:38:29+00:00

Yes, there are lots of places within 6 miles radius. Our very own Pizza Shed & Bar is a 2 minute drive! The Pizza’s are Fantastic! In Old Leake there is also a Fish & Chip shop & next door to that is a Co-Op for all your necessities. There are takeaway and delivery services too. There are other pubs which are slightly further away but within 5 miles. Boston is 6 miles away and Skegness is around 12 miles away. Many Taxi services are available if you didn’t want to drive.
