Fishing at
Lillies Cabin
The benefit of staying at Lillies Cabin is that you have exclusive use of House Pool which is 1 acre in size and has 3 islands for the duration of your visit.
To the left of the cabin, there’s a dedicated fishing area that gives access to most of the lake, but there are also plenty of wooden pegs around the water if you’d prefer to move about.
The House Pool isn’t exclusively a carp lake, so anglers are welcome to fish using poles, float or feeder methods, as well as traditional carp fishing.. Up to three rods may be used for one angler, and if two anglers are fishing together, two rods each are permitted.
There is a fantastic mix of mirror and common carp as well as roach, tench and specimen bream.
Our friendly staff are always happy to help and offer advice. Further information on our fishery can be found at www.alvechurchfisheries.co.uk
