The Owner Says

Chigborough Carpers Cabin, is a one room cabin for Coarse and Carp Anglers who want a little more comfort than pitching a bivvy. Aimed at Anglers who would like to be joined by their familes,  It can sleep up to four in a double bed and a bunk bed. It has a gas hob and tea and coffee making facilites, out door furniture and a fire pit and logs and allows discounted fishing on Chigborough’s established and popular Carp and Coarse lakes. We have Carp to over 40lb, Catfish to 140lb and good bream, tench, roach, rudd and pike. Bedding can also be provided as optional extra. Our aim is to provide a comfortable, relaxing place to rest and stay whilst being close enough to the lake to maximise your fishing trip. Whilst the cabin is just a stones throw from the lake, it isn’t close enough to adequately supervise your rods from inside so all lines must be removed from the water unless you are sitting by them. The cabin is off grid, there is a portaloo in the car park nearby and it is a 5 minute walk from the main campsite facilities which include wet rooms, games rooms, outdoor kitchen, pizza oven, loos and showers. In the main courtyard a short walk away there is a shop, cafe and restaurant. Also on site we have a pottery painting studio and yoga and massage. The cabin is a few hundred metres from the beautiful BlackWater Estuary which is a great place to walk, cycle and visit pubs and tea rooms. The Carpers Cabin accommodation is situated next to our on-site tackle shop.
