For those not familiar with the breakfasts offered at Farm Stay accommodation this usually consists of either a continental breakfast or full English. If you’re really lucky you get a combination of the two which will see even the most serious angler, set up right for whatever your day will bring. Nottingham is famous for its local produce so a tasty breakfast is bound to be in store at a Farm Stay property.


Nottinghamshire fishing sites include the famously long and meandering Trent, where a serious angler can catch one of thirty five species, with some of the most common being roach, carp, breen and the occasional vicious pike. The river in many places is pleasantly smooth, with attractive green banks and the only likely disruption of your privacy is when a passing canal boat or pleasure craft ripples the water

Please check with your host as to whether local fishing permits are required for your chosen location.
