Come and enjoy some quality time at our family run fishery and farm, stay in one of our unique shepherds huts on or overlooking the lakes, or just come for a day's peaceful fishing. Whether you are a keen angler or occasional fishing person or even just looking for a peaceful relaxing break in the beautiful Sussex countryside, this will be the place for you.  We even have facilities for wheelchair users and the less able, as one of the owners is a wheelchair user. Please note there is wifi available (ok for emails etc, not suitable for Zoom calls and the like). The phone signal is also not very good for some networks except at the top of the hill. Note that this is a 'get away from it all' place, so the usual town amenities may not be readily available.

There are 4 lakes (all spring fed). The bottom one is the original fishing lake, with large common and mirror carp plus perch and grass carp, The second is our newly built (2019/20). A large lake, which has more breeds of fish and has matured nicely. This is stocked with common and mirror carp, golden and blue orfe, perch, green and golden tench, roach, rudd, dace and gudgeon. Our 3rd lake is about a year old and has Carp and Orfe. Plus at the very top of the site is a natural 'wild swimming' pool for those adventurous enough. Just relax around the pool with its picnic benches and gazebo and enjoy the fabulous views to the South Downs from here. There are four other accessible natural wild lakes for walking around and which are up the hill and away from the rest. Perfect for a wander round with or without your dog (secure areas shown on arrival for your dog to have a really good run off lead), with benches to sit and enjoy the space and tranquillity with lovely views as well.
 
Fishing is available by the day 8am - 8pm or dusk and by night (hut residents only) - 8pm or dusk to 8am. Visiting anglers please see fees list. For day ticket anglers there is a unit with toilet/shower and kitchen facilities. All anglers must show a current fishing licence and abide by our rules (copy at end of web page or sent on booking or by request).

The Fisherman's huts have a minimum 2 night booking (3 nights Jun, Jul and Aug), and have most mod cons although with Carp and Roach huts (on our bottom lake) there is a short walk to your private heated shower and toilet unit. (There is also a small 'portaloo' hut right outside those 2 huts for those 'caught short' moments). Perch and Tench huts (overlooking top lake) are slightly larger, have full kitchens and ensuite facilities.

Dogs are welcomed but MUST be kept on leads around the lakes and farm. There is always an empty fenced field (shown on arrival) for excercising but please clear up after them - poo bags supplied foc if requested! In addition, and for ramblers and hikers, there are several public footpaths leading to Buxted, Rotherfield and beyond, inc Buxed Park and Ashdown Forest.

For outside refreshment, Hadlow Down has a very old 'locals' drinking type pub - The New Inn, and Buxted has 2 pub/restaurants, (The White Hart and The Buxted Inn) as does High Hurstwood (The Hurstwood). In 5 Ash Down there is The Pig and Butcher and in Blackboys The Blackboys Inn (highly recommended). In Crowborough the nearest is The Wheatsheaf in Mount Pleasant which does good food.  For those wanting 'posh' or just to walk, there is Buxted Park, on the outskirts of Buxted, off the A272. The Kings Arms in Rotherfield is very good. In Crowborough you have The White Hart, The Blue Anchor and The Cross (Wetherspoons), plus The Bricklayers Arms.
