Moorhen's Rest also comes with its own wood-fired hot tub, nestled under the trees, giving you the perfect excuse to sit back and enjoy the beautiful view of the lake or watch the Moorhens going about their daily business. You'll receive a complimentary wheelbarrow of logs to keep you warm and toasty, but more can be purchased from us during your stay if you need (this cabin does have a total of four fires, so depending on what your plans are, you may use quite a lot!). We do only allow logs to be purchased from us, as we use a local firm which is HETAS accredited and limits the smoke on site. Logs are £20 per wheelbarrow, or £10 for a sack. And, if that wasn't enough to hook you in, you'll also get FREE fishing for each person, so you can fish to your heart's content during your entire stay! Just make sure you have a valid rod licence, bring your own tackle and adhere to our basic fishery rules. Things to note: - we do not provide towels, so please remember to bring your own! - we do not allow cars along the lake bank, so it is a short walk from the car park around the lake to your hut, along the grassed bank. We provide wheelbarrows to help you transport your things, but you may need to bring wellington boots as the bank can get wet / muddy in the winter months or after wet weather. - we recommend bringing a torch to help navigate around the site after dark - if you wish to fish, you must bring your own clean equipment & adhere to our fishery rules - no smoking or candles inside the cabin Guest access Guests can use all of their designated cabin and private areas, and may walk through the remaining areas of the site as indicated by us on arrival, including the neighbouring woodland walk.
