We thank you for your patience as we plan and put in our operating procedures. Kindly understand that we are a small venue and a family run business. The virus is still out there peeps, so we ask everyone to be sensible, or you will be asked to leave. Observe all social distancing measures, good hygiene and fishery rules.

We know the ‘new temporary normal’ needs some adjusting to and flattered that a lot of people want to enjoy the beauty at Luccombes, even if you are not fishing. But we appreciate if everyone can understand and observe the current rules, come back later for walks or a cuppa tea, and let the fishery venue be prioritised for anglers to give them some space to do their fishing safely and for us to operate safely too!

Business Update

Holiday guests booked in April have already been contacted and we will be in touch again. Really would like to thank everyone for their kind understanding during this time of uncertainty. For guests booked in May & June, we will proceed to contact you soon as we make our way through the calendar list. We will keep the fish well fed so they are fighting fit ready for your next holiday!

PLEASE FOLLOW THE GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC HEALTH ENGLAND’S ADVISE:

“ Essential travel does not include visits to second homes, camp sites, caravan parks or similar, whether for isolation purposes or holidays. People should remain in their primary residence. Not taking these steps puts additional pressure on communities and services that are already at risk. Stay at home

  • Only go outside for food, health reasons or essential work
  • Stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people
  • Wash your hands as soon as you get home

When we reduce our day-to-day contact with other people, we will reduce the spread of the infection. That is why the government is now (23 March 2020) introducing three new measures.

  1. Requiring people to stay at home, except for very limited purposes
  2. Closing non-essential shops and community spaces
  3. Stopping all gatherings of more than two people in public

Every citizen must comply with these new measures. The relevant authorities, including the police, will be given the powers to enforce them – including through fines and dispersing gatherings.

These measures are effective immediately. The Government will look again at these measures in three weeks, and relax them if the evidence shows this is possible.”
