We had the best stay at Fishlake!

We went for a birthday celebration and it was perfect! The location, the home, the facilities, we couldn’t have asked for anything more. The host was super lovely and nothing was too much trouble! We stayed for two nights and there was 9 of us and everyone had the most special weekend. Highly recommend this properly and Jill was so easy to contact and was so helpful if we needed anything! Thank you for the perfect weekend.

We had a lovely stay, the host was so lovely and helpful with any queries!

House was gorgeous and well maintained. Had everything we needed and felt like a home from home for us for the week. Perfect setting for the kids, felt safe with plenty of space to play and the hot tub was well loved! We will definitely stay again
