The Lake

Enjoy fishing or boating on our lakes below the farm

 
 

Our boating/Fishing & wildlife lake

Our beautiful lake at Rudge Farm Cottages is the perfect spot for a peaceful day of boating, fishing, and wildlife watching. Just a short stroll from the cottages, the lake is well stocked with roach, carp, rudd, tench, and perch, making it ideal for relaxed, leisurely fishing rather than serious angling. With two rowing boats available, guests can enjoy a gentle paddle around the entire lake, taking in the stunning scenery and abundant wildlife. The lake is home to plenty of ducks and their fluffy ducklings, and if you’re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of the dazzling blue flash of a kingfisher. Whether you’re casting a line, drifting on the water, or simply soaking in the tranquil views, the lake offers a wonderful escape into nature.

What Our Guests Say...

Just spent a long weekend here and must say thoroughly enjoyed it. Stayed in Carter's cottage, lovely and warm and cosy and spotlessly clean. Went with our daughter and one year old grandson. Perfect for families so much there to do - would love to go back in the summer months although weather was kind to us sunny but cold. Very well equipped all you could possibly want with good local pubs.

Family birthday weekend - Fantastic place to stay. Beautiful views, gorgeous spacious cottages and very modern and clean. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay. Absolutely perfect. Very well equipped with everything you need. Would definitely recommend.

Paula and David, Midlands

Great location to explore West Dorset - We had a really lovely stay at Rudge Farm. As our first visit to West Dorset it was an ideal location to explore the coastline. The kids really enjoyed the activities on site too including the boating on the lake, the games room and tennis court. The local farm shop was fab and did lovely fresh bread, yummy cheese, and veg. Thanks for a great holiday and we would definitely recommend it to other people.

Caroline, Brighton

My family has stayed here many times including two visits this year. The cottages are very nice and have everything you need. They are user friendly and you don't feel continuous panic if you have young children there! The grounds and setting are completely stunning. My family and I lay in the garden outside our cottage and listened to the sound of the birds wings whirring through the air as they sped around the buildings. We are talking seriously peaceful!
