UK Country Holidays - Fish & Fly's latest Trade Partner!
Welcome to who provide a unique English holiday and sporting experience!
Accommodation is the beautiful and historically important 500 year old 'Old Cottage'. Set in the middle of the Sussex countryside, it is your base for an inspiring personalised holiday.
We will pick you up from the airport or train station - London Gatwick is only 20 minutes away, and London Heathrow about 90 minutes. From your complimentary champagne on arrival to your last evening meal, you will be well looked after.
A member of the team is at your disposal for your entire stay, and will transport and guide you whenever you like. We can also arrange a hire car for you if you prefer.
Working with you, we put together a personalised itinerary. The majority of our guests base their holiday around our speciality, fly fishing. Other activities that we arrange include falconry, shooting and riding. Do as much or as little as you like!
We are home to some of the most beautiful fly fishing in the South of England, with fisheries that include the Duke of Northumberland's waters, Roger Daltrey of The Who's nearby fishery (he is often to be seen at the water) and a superb stretch of the world famous river Itchen. There is a real chance of a double figure fish at some of our chosen waters. We also offer the chance of fishing with famous angler and author, Peter Cockwill. An excellent and full fly-fishing tackle kit is provided for your stay, and we can provide tuition for beginners.
In 2008 we are also offering the incredible and unique chance to hunt with birds of prey in the beautiful Ashdown Forest. An unforgettable experience.
What sets us apart from many other country holidays is our proximity to London. Most of our guests from overseas spend at least a day sightseeing in London, and of course, we will make all the travel arrangements for you. We can also book theatre tickets, availability permitting. A complimentary London Time-Out magazine is provided at the Cottage.
Breakfast is either Continental or Full English, and all food is sourced locally and is mostly organic. Lunch is a splendid hamper with wine at your chosen day's venue, and we provide a list of the South of England's finest restaurants and gastro-pubs for your evening meal. From grand old manor houses, to centuries-old pubs, we pride ourselves on this list of wonderful eateries. We will chauffeur you to and from your chosen restaurant in the evening. If you have a hire car, we can give you detailed directions.
