Fishing Lodges in the UK You Can Own, Not Just Rent

Most fishing lodges in the UK are rented a few nights at a time. If you fish often, there’s another option: own one. At Epworth Fields, a small, gated park in North Lincolnshire, owners have their own fishing lake, just a short walk from their lodge, and some lodges overlook the water. Our lodges start from £49,995. The price includes siting, connection, decking and furnishings, and the annual site fee is £3,000 plus VAT, frozen for 5 years.

Fishing lodges in the UK: renting vs owning

Owning isn’t for everyone. It’s a lifestyle purchase, not an investment (see are holiday lodges a good investment?). But if you’re booking fishing breaks several times a year, it’s worth a look.

Fishing lodges in Lincolnshire with an owners-only lake

The lake at Epworth Fields is for owners. It’s not a day-ticket water, and there’s no tackle shop and no private pegs. In practice, that means:

• no day-ticket crowds, because the only people fishing are fellow owners
• fishing on your own timetable: an early session before breakfast, or an evening one after the drive up
• a quiet bank, because the park is owners-only and lodges can’t be let out, so there are no holidaymakers

It suits anglers who want relaxed fishing close to home comforts, rather than a match venue. Read more on our fishing at Epworth Fields page.

Fishing lake lodges: lake views and quieter corners

Some of our lodges overlook the lake. Others sit a short walk away in quieter corners of the park. If a view of the water matters to you, tell us when you call and we’ll show you what’s available. You’ll find more on lake-view lodges on our lakeside lodges page.

Current stock, which changes as lodges are reserved, is on the lodges for sale page. It includes new Love Holiday Homes lodges, the Victory Lakewood and a pre-owned three-bedroom lodge.

More than the fishing

Not every owner fishes. The park has plenty for everyone else:

• woodland walks and a picnic area inside the gate
• a welcome for dogs, with footpaths and open countryside beyond the park
• a 12-month season on the park
• Epworth’s cafés, pubs and shops a few minutes away (see the local area)

Lodges for sale with fishing lakes: what to ask any park

1. Who can fish? Is it owners only, or are there day tickets and holiday guests?
2. Is fishing included, or is there an extra charge or membership?
3. What are the lake rules?
4. How many lodges are let out? On parks with lots of lets, the bank can get busy.
5. What’s included in the lodge price, and what’s the site fee?

At Epworth Fields, the lake is for owners, lodges can’t be let, the lodge price includes siting, connection, decking and furnishings, and the site fee is £3,000 plus VAT, frozen for 5 years.
