Blackthorn Fishery

Beautiful fishery, lovely well equipped lodge and friendly and welcoming staff. Really enjoyed our stay in the original lodge. Was met by Ben on arrival who was very friendly and helpful even pointing out the hot spots. The lodge was gorgeous with everything you need. Nice big swims again with all equipment including tripod, sling, mat and net, even a handy cart to transport all your fishing equipment. Can’t wait to return 🤞🏻 we catch a nice big carp next time 😊

Just returned from a week long stay at Blackthorn Fishery staying in the original cabin. The venue is stunning and very peaceful, the accommodation was superb and Ben the fishery manager was very helpful pointing out hot spots, tactics and bait approach. In the end I had a great week banking 7 fish to 39lb 10oz the mighty Guillotine. Will definitely be returning as I have unfinished business with the resident 40s

Absolutely amazing stay! As a non angler I sometimes find these weeks away boring, but with great company on the lake, and Ben (who is worth his weight in gold) I had a great week! My other half had an epic time with seven fish in total! Accommodation is immaculate, and you can tell they haven’t scrimped on fixtures, fittings and furnishings. Would highly recommend, especially over similar lakes! We will be returning 100%!!!! Thanks for having us x

Visit September 2021 - Charlie, Matt and the team at Blackthorn Fishery were amazing. They pre-empt our every need, for instance it was incredibly warm and they brought round a cooling fan to each lodge without being asked. The lodges are impeccably decorated and furnished with every little detail considered, for instance high quality cooking utensils and equipment. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and hotel quality bedding including mattress and pillow protectors being used. Great outdoor...

This was our 3rd Visit to Blackthorn, and we have booked two holidays already for 2022. So that should say it all! The lodges are clean and modern. Excellent fishing (although hard). Caught my PB here this time at 35lb. Charlie the owner is very friendly and helpful, and the onsite bailiff Matt is always around to help out and provide useful advice on bait, rigs and areas to fish. Great value for money for what your actually getting, the overall fishery is at a very high standard, well maint...
