Accessibility Guide for Stretton Lakes
Stretton Lakes is situated in 120 acres of farmland in the county of Rutland. Six fishing lakes have been created over the past 40 years to create an idyllic setting surrounded by woodland and open farmland. The lakes support a huge range of flora and fauna, watch carp cruising around islands, mallards flying into roost at dusk and if you’re lucky deer grazing around the lodges.
We are the only luxury lodges in Rutland that have been awarded the prestigious 4 and 5* Gold accolade for each lodge by Visit Britain. Virtual tours of our lodges can be found on each lodge page. Free wifi is available in all lodges.
