Coldingham Loch Estate, Coldingham Loch Fly Fishery & Holiday Lets, Coldingham, Eyemouth, TD14 5QE

The Coldingham Loch fishery and holiday letting enterprise is an exceptional rural business catering to the local and wider national market, offering unique and flexible options in a stunning and accessible location.

The loch, on which the whole property is centred, covers about 22 acres and is surrounded by about 35 acres of land with gorse banks, open grazing and newly planted woodland and is only a short walk to the cliff tops, having spectacular coastline views. It is the only naturally eutrophic loch in the Scottish Borders, which means it is of particularly high nutrient value, as it is filled by one above ground burn and four underground springs which issue from an aquifer at the northern reaches of the Yorkshire Limestone pavement and is a rare habitat in Britain.

The business is based around a first class trout fishery on Coldingham Loch; one of the oldest and most established fisheries in the country. The Fishery is operated on a members only basis with no day tickets currently available except for guests of members, visiting angling club members and holiday guests; a management decision. Membership is renewed and reviewed annually, and anglers are entitled to use the loch three times per week, in season, from either bank or boat, and have access to the Member’s Angling Hut and storage facilities, for an annual membership fee.

The loch has a stock of breeding brown trout but is also regularly stocked with Blue, Rainbow, Brown and Tiger trout. Members are drawn predominantly from Southern Scotland and Northumberland and has a well-earned reputation for being a fantastic place to enjoy a top quality days fishing.

The holiday letting enterprise is based around self-catering from two traditional stone built cottages being the Lodge Cottage and Loch Side Cottage & Boathouse. Stable Cottage lies within a beautiful stone-built former coach house, which offers considerable scope for further development, and beside which is the Old Dairy which now acts as the laundry.

In the woodland behind the Lodge are five timber built chalets, three of which have been refurbished in recent times and the remaining two, habitable, but requiring upgrading inside.

All eight cottages have their own outdoor space as well as plenty of parking. The cottages are available to guests all year round along with fly fishing on the Loch in the season.

Further details of the fishing and accommodation can be found at the Coldingham Cottages & Fly Fishing website.
