Poolside is now our only premier 2 bedroom cottage in the courtyard. Although it’s our very first cottage we opened here back in the late 70’s, we’ve kept the character and charm of the oak beams but improved it dramatically so couples can enjoy an enjoyable break.
When you walk into Poolside, you’ll be greeted by the new kitchen and dining area. The cottage is set in a 17th century converted barn with original oak beams throughout.
It’s described in our ‘Premier Docklow’ range and happens to be one of the owner’s favourite premier 2 bedroom cottage on site.
The kitchen is practical & spacious with all amenities including electric cooker, fridge, and microwave. The kitchen has a dining area with table and chairs. The lounges have big comfortable sofas and chairs, large television on the wall. But wow, the oak beams here are just amazing.
Whilst these cottages aren’t central heated, they are both cosy and warm. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with traditional furniture throughout but mind your head on the beams in Poolside.
Off the landing is the bathroom is one bathroom with WC and shower.
If you like history Poolside is definitely the cottage for you. Historically this was an old 17th century barn and has wonderful beams throughout including a couple of beautiful low ones in the master bedroom.
Poolside is in the courtyard area, close to the tackle shop, restaurant and literally a minute or so’s walk to the lakes. All have close by parking and their own tackle lock ups.
This property is weekly leases only for couples.

Docklow Pools 527 Google reviewsPosted on Lawrence ByrneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a wonderful cooked breakfast here today. Service was brilliant 👏 kPosted on Christian WolstencroftTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stayed in one of the fisher-cabins. The owner of the complex, Jonathan, i found to be ever willing to help and assist with any queries or requests directly, taking ownership and ensuring all your needs were catered for. Also the staff were friendly and supportive and very approachable. The cabin itself was extremely clean and well presented. The décor is a little dated, but in keeping with the beautiful surroundings Docklow Pools presents. The cabin was lovely and a home from home. Just a couple of niggles: 1. No internet. The complex is on a geographical dip. I could only find ONE BAR on the Three network. The main complex is serviced by a Starlink satellite internet service, but the area where my cabin was, like i say, of the four UK mobile networks, only Three had a service of just one bar. Jonathan was supportive.. he explained that a lot of their customers are men who want to go fishing on be 'off-grid' and 'not contactable'. While i understand that, in today's world one can always turn their phone off - and let their spouse/family know they will be doing this.. so i see no real reason for not supplying an internet connection to the cabins - it was a real pain in the rear for me as i had planned to do some work/study over my stay. Jonathan again kindly offered me an office in the main complex, but that just have worked as lugging all my paraphernalia there and back most days would be unrealistic. In the end i had to purchase (on the advise of someone Jonathan put me in touch with) a router which takes a sim card with screw on antennas. I then had to take out an unlimited data sim contract with Three. Just annoying to have to do in this day and age. 2. Freeview only There was an old Skybox, but the card wasn't recognised and you could only access the free channels. In the end i had to run a HDMI from my laptop, which was connected to the router, to access other channels. Highly recommend Docklow Pools.. great staff, location, accommodation and food... just behind on technology..Posted on Anthony WhitehornTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great pub on site with equally great food. The fishing isn't too bad either. Major bill is the speci lake with fish up to upper 30s and maybe a 40 swimming around. Few other lakes for the pleasure angler. Never really have a bad day's fishing, if there is such a thing.Posted on Clare BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've stayed number of times and will continue to do so as much as possible. We both absolutely love Dockow for the beautiful peaceful surroundings, excellent fishing and best tackle shop around. The accommodation is fabulous and The Fisherman's Arms amazing, excellent food and the most wonderful friendly staff. Just love it here ❤️Posted on Snoop CatTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
