👇 Book here Kingslakes Holidays has a long history when it comes to coarse fishing being the first alongside places like Anglers Paradise to have been set up in the South West, and more specifically Devon. It was lovingly built over 35 year

s ago by the King family, originally with 4 lakes, and then passed hands to Mr and Mrs Langdown, who continued to ensure the site grew adding a further 3 lakes, before Stuart Braham bought the beautiful site and successful business. Set in nearly 40 acres of idyllic woodland, rolling green meadows and boasting 7 well stocked fishing lakes to include fish such as Carp, Tench, Rudd, Bream and Roach, the 10 converted stone cottages, 6 scandinavian style lodges and 7 luxury hot tub lodges have access to the serene surroundings where nearly everything you'll need to enhance the perfect holiday is either here on site or within a 20 minute journey. To name but a few.... Bude beach and canal, Launceston Keep, Dartmoor and Exmouth Moors, Cookworthy Forest, the Tarka Trail, local archery schools, horse riding centres, nearby shops, restaurants and pubs, swimming pools and indoor activity centres alike. Kingslakes really has something to offer everyone whether you're a family coming for a sightseeing holiday, a group of old school fishing buddies or simply for a romantic get away.

Our weekly friendly competition 2/9/26 was held on a slightly wet and windy woodpecker lake.

This week rather than drawing for pegs with only 4 hardy anglers taking part, we decided to have a walk on to choose pegs . ( not doing that again as I clearly can’t pick a good peg 😂😂)

Results 1st Paul Nash 19lb 6oz,
2nd Steve Mancey 18lb 15oz,
3rd Tim 6lb 15oz ,
4th Dudley Heslington 2lb 13oz .

Congratulations Paul on winning the day with some lovely big bream all caught on sweetcorn( on the outlet peg ) .
Thanks to all for taking part .
Special thanks to Debbie Mancey for my breakfast and to Babs Heslington for my lunch . Next week is a special “Mary poppins club” friendly competition on nuthatch 😂 .

🎣 Our Fleet Just Got Bigger… Introducing Our THIRD Tramper! 🚜

Great news for anglers at Kingslakes!
Due to its incredible popularity, we’ve added a third Tramper to our fleet, making it even easier for more guests to enjoy their fishing holiday.

Designed to tackle a variety of terrain, our Trampers allow anglers to comfortably transport themselves and their fishing kit to swims that may be more difficult to reach on foot. Whether you’re bringing rods, bivvies tackle or bait, they make getting around the lakes effortless.

Best of all, they’re available for anyone to use during their stay at Kingslakes.

📅 We strongly recommend booking in advance, as the Trampers are extremely popular and are often fully reserved well before arrival.

Make your next fishing trip even more relaxing – reserve your Tramper when you book and let us take the strain out of getting to your perfect swim.
