Take a break at one of our top fishing lodges in Suffolk and enjoy luxury accommodation with access to over 30 premium fisheries. Try the legendary River Waveney’s coarse fishing for bream, pike and perch as well as Suffolk’s only chalk stream – River Lark with wild brown trout.
Book a hot tub lodge and get access to specimen waters holding 30lb+ fish, including transformed Waveney Valley gravel pits and Hintlesham Fisheries. If sea fishing is more your thing, I’d recommend a coastal lodge at Lowestoft and Orford.
