Coldingham Loch is one of the oldest trout fisheries in Scotland and has a built a reputation for providing excellent fishing in a fantastic setting. The Loch has been running as a fishery complemented by holiday accommodation for over thirty years and has built a strong reputation for providing excellent fishing and holiday experiences for its visitors.
As new owners here at Coldingham Loch we are keen to ensure we build on this reputation so that anglers and holiday makers alike can come and enjoy this fantastic Loch.
We bought the Loch and Holiday Cottage business last year arriving late September 2011. Since then we have enjoyed meeting anglers and holiday cottage guests both regulars and new. What has really struck us is what a special place Coldingham Loch is for many of you out there and we want to ensure this continues and hopefully make some improvements to your experience along the way.
We hope that our previous experience in farming and agriculture will help us maintain the integrity and beauty of the Loch. And this coupled with our own experiences fly fishing will help us in our aim to provide top class fishing in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Our plans for this coming year are to ensure the fishing is as good as it can be by ensuring we get the stocking right alongside a keen approach to the loch maintenance.
We are also updating Lochside Cottage and hope to get it ‘on the map’ again so it offers a beautiful warm place for guests to relax and unwind and enjoy its unique position at the Loch’s edge…watching the trout rise!
Longer term plans are to gradually upgrade all the accommodation and keep it all maintained to a high standard so guests have really good holiday that is value for money in a comfortable and well kept property.
Finally thanks to all the fishermen, neighbours and the local community for making us feel so welcome and supported, it really is appreciated.
Please ring or email us with any enquiries you may have we are taking bookings for next year for fishing and holiday lets. We look forward to welcoming you to this lovely part of the world.
Best wishes
Carmel & Gareth
