Countryside Cabins

Crabtrees 1 and 2

Crabtrees is a beautiful scenic lake set amongst the rural rolling Herefordshire countryside. It is maturing nicely with fish up to 20lb plus and offers a very peaceful and quiet atmosphere, complete with gorgeous water lilies and weeping willow trees. This site features two well-equipped cabins that can be rented either together or individually. The cabins are situated 70 yards apart, making them ideal for friends or families traveling together while maintaining their own space. Both cabins are connected to mains electric rather than solar.

The cabins are almost identical, each featuring a double bed, sofa, TV, and an electric fire. They are fully equipped with a kitchen featuring gas hobs, a microwave, oven, grill, and a fridge with a freezer box. Both include a private toilet and shower. While each cabin is ideal for two people, we can accommodate a third person or two small children by request. Outside, the decking extends from the cabin doors to the water’s edge. Plenty of garden furniture is provided, as well as charcoal barbecues (please bring your own charcoal).

We ensure your stay is comfortable by providing bedding, towels, toilet rolls, toiletries, and bin bags. The kitchens are stocked with all necessary cutlery, pots, and pans. There is an information pack provided with useful facts, rules, and also a map of the whole estate to help you explore.

Dogs

Up to 2 dogs are allowed free of charge. Please be conscious that you may be sharing the lake area with other guests and their dogs.

Fishing

The lake contains common carp, mirror carp, ghosties, koi, and tench. It is not a match fishing venue, but provides great pleasure fishing with some great fighting specimens currently up to 20lb+. Night fishing is allowed. There is a rowing boat on the lake free of charge with lifejackets included for safety.

Walking

There is a wealth of local footpaths and walking trails, and guests are welcome to walk across the whole 650-acre estate.

The Park

This unique 5-acre parkland setting offers a different experience from our other rentals by allowing guests to book for as little as a single day. When you hire this space, it is for your exclusive, sole use. You can simply shut the gate and relax in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside, letting the world go by in total peace and quiet.

The heart of the property is a stunning 2-acre pool well-stocked with carp up to 20lbs. The water depths range from 4 feet to 17 feet at the southernmost point, featuring large shelves on the western edge and varying depths to provide the fish with diverse feeding places. A large jetty on the shallow northern bank extends out over the water, providing an excellent vantage point. We welcome up to four people fishing at once with a maximum of two rods each.

Beyond fishing, the park is a haven for a host of activities. We welcome paddleboarders, canoeists, kayakers, and non-engine boaters, as well as model aircraft enthusiasts and practitioners of archery. The space is perfect for walkers, dog training sessions, or summer family gatherings for picnics and general chilling. If you have another use in mind, please ring me to discuss the possibilities. To make your stay comfortable, a rowing boat is included for guest use, and the site is equipped with a large charcoal barbecue, outdoor garden furniture, and a portable toilet.

Accommodation is flexible, as we welcome bivvies, campers, campervans, and motorhomes. Arrivals are scheduled from 11:00 AM onward with departures by 10:00 AM. During the summer months and when ground conditions allow, parking is permitted directly on the bankside.

We are a proudly dog-friendly destination. The entire 5-acre park is enclosed with dog-proof fencing, ensuring that owners can let their pets range in total safety.
