FAQs about Fishing Holiday Cottages
Do I need to bring my own fishing equipment?
Most cottages expect guests to bring their own rods, reels, and tackle. Some owners may provide equipment or recommend local hire shops - we recommend checking the property listing and confirming details directly with the owner before you travel.
Is a fishing licence required?
Yes – in England and Wales, a valid Environment Agency rod licence is required for freshwater fishing. Guests are responsible for arranging their licence before arrival.
What types of fishing are available?
This varies by property. Some offer coarse fishing in well-stocked lakes, while others provide access to rivers suitable for fly fishing. Check individual listings for details.
Are the fishing waters private?
Many cottages include exclusive access to lakes or stretches of river, though some may share waters with a small number of neighbouring properties.
