Fishing Lodges With Hot Tubs in Wales

Mist on a still lake, a rod leaning on the deck rail and a steaming tub next to your cabin. That’s the morning you’re booking with fishing lodges Wales anglers return to year after year.

The country has trout rivers like the Wye, Teifi and Towy, carp and tench lakes, upland reservoirs and a long coast for sea fishing. After a day on the bank you want a warm bed and a soak, and the parks below give you both, with a lake on the doorstep. Everyone else can enjoy the wildlife and views, so a fishing holiday suits the whole family. Book early for school holidays, because the lakeside cabins are the first to go.

Our pick of fishing lodges Wales has to offer

Every park here has a hot tub and a fishing break on offer, at the park or nearby. Check each page for dates, because availability and fishing rules change through the year, and a few minutes of planning now saves a lot of hassle on the bank later. The angling is good and the soak afterwards is even better!

Florence Springs, Pembrokeshire

Two miles from Tenby – sleeps up to 6 – pets welcome

The best choice if you want a seaside town and a fishing lake in one break. Timber cabins sit on the lake edge with wide decking and bi-folding doors, and guests get exclusive access to coarse and trout fishing. There’s also a golf course, and Tenby harbour is a short drive for fish and chips.

Plassey Holiday Park, Wrexham

In the Dee Valley – sleeps up to 6 – pets welcome

Plassey covers 250 acres of woodland with fishing ponds, nature trails, a nine-hole golf course and heated indoor pools. Children are never short of things to do while you cast a line.

Balwen Shepherds Hut, Garthmyl

Beside the River Severn – sleeps up to 2 – romantic, wood-fired tub

A quiet pick for two. The hut has fishing rights on the Severn, so bring your rod licence, and the wood-fired tub is ideal for stargazing. It sits on the Lon Cambria cycling route, close to Offa’s Dyke.

Penllwyn, Garthmyl

In Powys – sleeps up to 6 – pets welcome

Thirty acres of woods, ponds and canal make this a gentle choice for a family holiday. Walk, fish and feed the ducks, then relax on your own verandah. A tub comes with some of the accommodation, so check when you book.

Herons Lake Retreat, Flintshire

Near Caerwys – sleeps up to 6 – pets welcome

A handy pick for a short trip from Cheshire and the north west. Lodges come in different styles, and some have a verandah overlooking the lake.

Heronstone, Brecon Beacons

At the foot of the Brecon Beacons – sleeps up to 4 – pets welcome

Protected woodland, waterfalls and covered tubs. Fishing is on the doorstep here, and a short stroll takes you to the village pub.

Where can you fish on a Welsh break?

Choosing between fishing lodges Wales has on offer really comes down to the water you want to fish, so it helps to know what each type gives you before you pick a park. That could be a quiet lake where you fish from your own deck, a famous river with a day ticket in your pocket, or a stretch of coast where the whole family can try something different. Whichever you choose, you can be back in the tub by teatime.

Coarse fishing on lakes holds carp, tench and roach, and it’s the easiest to enjoy from your deck. Stillwaters generally have no close season, so a lake stay suits March and April when rivers are shut.

Trout fishing draws fly fishers to the Wye, Teifi and Towy. Many stretches are club waters, so buy a day ticket first. Sea fishing suits Pembrokeshire beaches and rocks.

For more ideas see our top 5 lodges with fishing lakes, coarse fishing lodges in the UK or the Fishing Wales site.

Rod licence and close seasons

You need an Environment Agency rod licence to fish freshwater for trout, coarse fish, salmon or eels, and junior licences are free. Sea fishing doesn’t need one. Rivers have a close season from 15 March to 15 June, and private waters set their own rules.

Best time to visit

Lakes fish all year, and rivers peak in spring.
