Fishing

 


Southcott Devon - The best Bed & Breakfast and fishing in Devon                                
Are you looking for accommodation in an idyllic
setting or the peaceful setting on the waters bank
with great fishing, all yours for the length of your
stay? Then look no further!

On top of this you will have your very own lake of
around half an acre at you disposal.

 

 

The lakes were originally dug and stocked for our own private use only but we have desided to open up after so many requests locally. Both lakes are well stocked and are fed on a weekly basis with our own baits which have seen in one year over 2lb gains on mirror carp and 65lb gains on some of the catfish!!!.
