Coarse Fishing in Devon

Coarse Fishing Holidays at Cofton

Coarse fishing holidays in Devon are one of our specialities at Cofton Holidays. Set within our 5-star holiday park near Dawlish, our private fishing lakes offer a peaceful and well-kept setting for anglers of all abilities.

The fishery sits in its own idyllic grounds within the park, so you are never far from your favourite swim. Whether you are staying in one of our holiday lodges, static caravans, touring and camping pitches or holiday cottages, you can enjoy easy access to the lakes throughout your stay.

Cofton is a great choice for relaxed fishing holidays in Devon, combining quality accommodation, beautiful countryside and excellent on-site facilities for the whole family. It means keen anglers can spend time by the water, while non-fishing guests can enjoy the pools, restaurants, entertainment and wider park facilities.

To make the most of your stay, we recommend booking ahead, especially if you would like to request a particular pitch or stay close to the fishing lakes.

Our Coarse Fishing Lakes

Our four well-stocked coarse fishing lakes are set within the peaceful grounds of Cofton Holidays near Dawlish, Devon, with level access, disabled parking by the gate and family-friendly platforms to help make fishing accessible for all.

Across the lakes you’ll find a variety of species including carp, tench, crucian carp, roach, rudd, bream, eels and perch. Our Specimen Carp Lake holds a good head of 20lb+ fish, with carp recorded up to 30lb 8oz, while our Tench and Silvers Pool and Pleasure and Match Lake offer rewarding fishing for both novice and experienced anglers.

Fishing Competitions, Tackle Shop & Guest Fishing

If competitive fishing is your thing, Cofton hosts fishing competitions throughout the year, including our popular Cofton Cup fishing festival weeks in April and October, plus regular matches from April through to the end of October.

Our on-site tackle shop is run by knowledgeable, helpful staff and stocks the tackle and bait you need for a great day by the lakes. Fishing is exclusively for Cofton guests, making our well-stocked lakes a peaceful and rewarding place to enjoy coarse and carp fishing during your Devon holiday.
