Hastingford Fishery Shepherd Huts and Cabins Sussex
Stay in one of our unique shepherds huts at Hastingford Fisheries near Uckfield in Sussex overlooking the lakes. Whether you are looking for a peaceful relaxing break in the beautiful Sussex countryside, are a keen angler or an occasional fisher this will be the place for you. We have 4 fishing lakes (all spring fed) the largest being stocked with common and mirror carp, golden and blue orfe, perch, green and golden tench, roach, rudd, dace and gudgeon. Fishing is available by the day and by night for guests.
At the very top of our site is a natural ‘wild swimming’ pool for those adventurous enough. Relax around the pool with its picnic benches and gazebo and enjoy the fabulous views to the South Downs. There are four other accessible natural wild lakes for quietly wandering around and which are up the hill and away from the rest. Perfect for a walk round with or without your dog. There are also our two secure dog walking fields that you can book if needed with free 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.
We are a peaceful site, great for fishing and watching the wildlife
