Just back from another week in our special place and as usual the peace and surroundings worked their magic! Thanks Richard Elaine and Fiona.
Had a great 2 weeks at Valley View in Moorhen lodge. The accomodation was spacious and very well equipped with all we needed. The bed was super comfy and the hot tub was superb. The view across the lake was lovely with an abundance of birds. There is a really nice short walk from the site up the valley along the river.
There are lots of places to visit nearby including the Tarka trail for walking and cycling as far as you like. Thanks to Richard, Elaine and Fiona who were awesome, very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area.
Thank you for a brilliant week excellent fishing all week and nice and quiet perfect place to just to relax and get away from everything a brilliant week for us both
We had a very peaceful few days, although it rain off and on the fishing was excellent, caught the usual carp of various sizes, lots of silvers too, didn't get any photos this time due to the weather, the lodge was very spacious and well presented, also very clean, we both slept well after the first night, enjoyed using the hot tub, hope to visit again in the future, as this was our second time this year,
We really enjoyed our stay at Valley View despite it being cut short due to a leg injury (own stupidity). The fishing was really good and the lakes had fish in abundance. The birds that visited our bird feeder daily were varied. We loved the hot tub and were even visited by a couple of toads on the decking area when we used it one evening. The lodges themselves are lovely with everything you could need provided. Richard and Fiona were lovely and helpful. We intend to return once the leg is out of plaster.
We had a wonderful week at heron lodge.my son and grandson loved the fishing and were out from dawn til dusk.
My grand daughter and I enjoyed the wild life, mallard, moorhen, kingfisher and woodpecker were all spotted from our decking. At dusk the bats flew off and returned at dawn giving a superb aerial display over the lake. It was a very peaceful week and we will no doubt come back.
We spent a lovely 7 nights here, fishing relaxing and chilling in hot tub at night. Great place to switch of from work. We stayed at the end lodge beside the woods, perfect little bit of grass at the front. I would sit on the balcony listening to the stream. Ducks visiting each morning, and the birds.
The lodge had everything we needed.
It was the boys first taste of fishing and this was the perfect place
As I mentioned in the guest book at the lodge, we enjoyed our stay at Kingfisher Lodge which was spotless, well equipped and comfortable. The peace and quiet and privacy of the lake afforded all the fishing my husbnd could wish for " on the doorstep" We would have no hestiation in recommending a stay at Valley View. A few photographs are included on the website.

We spent our Easter break at this wonderful lodge and couldn’t have asked for a better getaway! The lodge was cozy, clean, and beautifully tucked away in nature—perfect for a peaceful holiday escape.
We loved starting our mornings with coffee on the porch, enjoying the fresh air and quiet surroundings. The nearby fishing was a big hit—relaxing, fun, and a great way to spend the afternoons. Afterward, soaking in the hot tub under the evening sky was the perfect way to unwind.
The hosts thought of everything, and the whole experience felt like a true retreat from the everyday. It was a perfect mix of outdoor adventure and relaxing comfort. We’re already talking about coming back next year!
My son (8yrs) and I had a great long weekend.
The weather was great for early April and we didn't do much other than fish and enjoy the wildlife & peace and quiet. The fishing is really good and all are in perfect condition due to exclusivity of the venue.
The time past, way to quickly. We throughly enjoyed it although still debating you caught the biggest ....
Thank you!
Just had a lovely weekend. Beautiful spot with lake and wildlife. Couldn't believe it was 10 years since last here.
Better weather this time though.
Many thanks
Rob and Elaine
Absolutely lovely week, thoroughly enjoyed it, so relaxing.
Lodge is absolutely beautiful with everything you need.
Plenty of fish caught. Will definitely be back
Thank you for another relaxing break. The fishing was superb and my wife managed to catch up on her reading in the peace and quiet of a beautiful place. The lodge was spotless and the hot tub is a really good place to relax after a good day’s fishing. Thank you Richard Elaine and Fiona for a great time
Another stress busting week at Valley View (our third).
Peace, beautiful surroundings and a hot tub, what more could you want? The bigger fish are still hiding though! Lodge spotless and comfortable as always, have already booked for 2025.
Thank you Richard, Elaine and Fiona x
Thank you for a lovely relaxing visit, the perfect place to unwind.
We had great fishing with many fish around 5lb which were great sport to catch.
Looking forward to visiting again soon.

What a lovely place to chill. The lodge is spacious, spotless and was very well equipped. The mattress was probably a little too firm for us, but we became more used to it as the week progressed. Richard, Elaine and Fiona could be seen most days tending the site and all were extremely friendly, chatty and very helpful. Fishing was excellent and the scenery stunning. We absolutely intend returning. Thank you!
I’ve just returned from valley view lakes and lodges , what a great place to relax in the hot tub and catch some fish right next to the lodge . Valley view is a very special place , I’ve been many times and am never disappointed! Richard , Elaine and Fiona are lovely people who can’t do enough for their guests . I highly recommend this place to everyone I know . Just lovely
We had a very enjoyable break at Valley View Lakes and Lodges ,the place is a haven of peace and quiet ,well off the beaten track ,we had a nightmare finding the place when we arrived ,but once we sussed the three word location we could come and go with no problem .The fishing was very enjoyable we caught numerous carp , mainly ghost and common with one or two mirrors all in the 6-8lb range we saw many much bigger and there’s also some Koi and all within half an hour of various beaches .we are going back next year
