Just spent a lovely week in The Boathouse. Very comfy and spotlessly clean. Ideal for anyone with mobility problems. Plenty of fish caught in the picturesque lake. Many thanks to Haydn for his help on our arrival and friendly manner throughout out stay.

Just had a LOVELY WEEK in Kingfisher Cottage. A great chill out. Weather was really nice. Fishing was fine, had numerous Rudd, up to about 1.5 lb. A number of Perch, had a couple of about 2lb. Only 1 bream, thank you. But the carp wasn't interested though. The cottage was lovely, very spacious and spotless. Haydn was the perfect host and helped out with fishing information. Couldn't have wished for more (except for some carp) only kidding.

Just home from a brilliant week at Lake Helen with my son, my brother and two nephews. We stayed in the Kingfisher Cottage which was very well equipped to handle all of us. On arrival we were met by Hadyn who was a fantastic host and showed us around the beautiful cottage and gave us some good tips for fishing. The fishing was excellent with some big perch caught to around 2 pound, a lovely big rudd of 2 pounds, big bream and roach were caught as well as countless smaller fish which kept everyone busy for the week. The early April temperatures dropped from the previous week which seemed to slow the carp fishing but we did manage two stunning double figure common carp out to 14 pounds. The quality of all the fish is as good as we have ever experienced. An amazing week was had by all and we can't wait to come back again for next year. Thank you again to Hadyn and his family for a wonderful week in such a beautiful place.

Hi. Another great week at the boathouse. Caught some lovely carp and even caught my P.B. The boathouse was yet again beautiful. We had our friends stay a few days and they loved it. We can't wait for the next time. Thankyou Hayden

Stayed in the Boathouse cottage for 3 days. The cottage is extremely clean and well looked after it is top class. I would give it 5 star accommodation. The lake and surrounding area is beautiful. There is a variety of different fish in the lake. The waters edge is literally 10ft from the accommodation. I would 100% book it again. The owner is very helpful and accommodating. It complies with every corona-19 aspect. Lastly to the owner a big thank you for everything.
SUE & GORDON - MARCH 2020
Just returned from few days fishing. Weather was bit hit and miss and quite sure this affected the fishing. The fish we did catch we're nice fish. Lovely roach and bream. Bungalow is beautiful very comfortable and peaceful and has everything you need. Thanks Haydn. We will be back later in year.

I live in the village and if you're "old school" like me a built cane or spun fibreglass rod 50 years old, a light line and a swan quill float make a challenge of fishing in 12 feet of water about 3 feet from the bank. These old clay pits used for brick making in days gone by are fantastic fisheries and Lake Helen is no exception. Hayden's a knowledgeable bloke and you'll enjoy his company swapping yarns at the lakeside.
