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...

We stayed in 'Pigsty Cottage'. So beautiful, we had our own little veranda & stunning views overlooking the lakes & surrounding countryside. A short drive to Chesil Beach. The cottage is well equipped & comfortable. A jug of milk & a selection of tea & coffee was a lovely welcome!

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.
