Searching for a peaceful holiday/short break without kids underfoot? Ramble along to Hastingford Fishery, an adults-only shepherd's hut and fishing site set in a scenic lakeside setting less than five minutes’ drive from the East Sussex village of Hadlow Down and 20 minutes from Royal Tunbridge Wells. This site should suit couples or singles wanting to 'get away from it all' and also fishing fans down to the ground. It’s got several fishing lakes to choose from with lots of different species, so settle down on the banks with rod in hand and while away a few hours (or days) in quiet contemplation, waiting for something to bite. But please note, the site is not for 'competition anglers' although there are plenty of good sized carp around. and asks anyone fishing to only use barbless hooks, and for fish to be returned to the lake quickly after being caught. Not the fishing type? Chill out in and around your secluded hut, or there’s plenty to entertain in a leisurely fashion: paths wind around the lakes and through copses/shaws (as this is the High Weald) plus through the local countryside. There are spectacular views towards the South Downs National Park from the top lakes. A spring-fed lake is also on site to cool off in with some wild swimming. Lots of bird life around, with feeders outside each hut and waterfowl visitors to the lakes. When it comes to eats, pick up or have supplies delivered from supermarkets or takeaways in Uckfield, Heathfield or Crowborough or take a drive to Buxted Park for some posh food or pubs in Blackboys, Crowborough, Ringles Cross, 5 Ash Down, Rotherfield, or Buxted (it'll take about 10 minutes to drive to any of these). Lots of sample menus in huts.

Tench Lake and Countryside Views

Tench Shepherds Hut

We stayed in Tench and I can’t express how amazing our experience was! The staff are so welcoming, kind and lovely. We received a welcome pack with milk, eggs, juice and warm rolls and croissants. The hut was fully equipped with everything you’ll need. The big open window overlooked one of their fishing lakes and I often looked outside at the geese, ducks and birds that would pass by. We took our dog River and she had a wonderful time. There was a fenced in field, where she could run off lead and she loved bouncing through the grass. The location is so peaceful and quiet and it’s surrounded by beautiful scenery. 100% would recommend for a relaxing getaway. Thank you so much for having us.

Carp secluded hut with lake balcony

I recently stayed at this amazing place and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The cleanliness was impeccable, and the view was simply breathtaking, even better than what the pictures portrayed. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable getaway.
