Fishing at Cleveleymere

Private harbour, private peg, patient fishing

read this before booking for fishing

Otter's Harbour is one of the stronger choices if you want private fishing access in shallow waters, with a private harbour, private peg and rowing boat connected to the lodge setting.

Cleveleymere is still a natural, low-pressure lake — not a commercial runs water. The setting is atmospheric, but catches are never guaranteed and patient anglers tend to get the most from it.

Want private access?

Otter's Harbour gives you private lodge fishing access, a private harbour and a rowing boat — a strong combination for anglers who value position and privacy.

The lake is a challenging natural venue rather than a heavily stocked runs water.

Lakefront living

Deck mornings, boat days, lakeside evenings

settle in by the harbour

Otter's Harbour is built around the lake: big views, private water access and a generous deck for slow mornings and relaxed evenings.
