Fishing

The fishing lake is available free of charge to all residents, however, all fishermen must be in possession of a National Rod Licence which may be purchased from the local post office.

Please do not park by the lake – all cars should be left in the main car park.

The lake is stocked with perch, roach, carp, and mirror carp.

Please use a maximum of two rods, barbless hooks only, and no keepnets or groundbait are to be used. All anglers must use a landing net. Baits allowed are maggots, sweetcorn, and luncheon meat only. The lake is open from 7 am – dusk. Please remove all lines when leaving to prevent any injuries to wildlife. Please do not take fish hooks into the lodge.

Woodland Walks

We have over 80 acres of woodland to explore. Using the woodland walks is a fantastic way to discover Brokerswood’s natural surroundings. Please be mindful that the wooded areas are purposely left in a natural state as part of our ongoing commitment to Brokerswood woodland management plan. This means that pathways can be uneven, often muddy and slippery and there may be exposed tree roots. You should always keep to the established footpaths. Small children should be supervised at all times.

We advise you to take additional care when walking in these areas and ensure you are wearing suitable footwear.

Consumption of alcoholic beverages is restricted to within your holiday home or lodge. No wandering is allowed with alcoholic drinks in any of the public areas of the Park.

For customers staying in our country homes and lodges, you are welcome to bring your own barbecues to use in your decking area. Unfortunately, we do not allow barbecues in the Woodland Pods area of the site. We request that you do not use disposable barbecues as they are a fire hazard.

Your boiler operates your hot water system and, unless your lodge has electric heaters, will also power your heating system which is either radiators or under floor heating. If you have any problems with either your heating or your hot water, please contact reception and a member of our maintenance team will have a look for you.

As a family-orientated Holiday Park Operator, the safety of our customers, including children, is of paramount importance. A copy of our Children’s Safety Policy is available at reception. We do have a lost child procedure. Should your child go missing report immediately to reception; all team members are trained in the procedure for finding lost children.

Child-friendly items such as high chairs, travel cots, and stair gates are available for a small fee. Please ask at reception.

We would request that you DEPART your lodge by 10am on the last day of your stay.

We trust that you will enjoy your stay with us here at Brokerswood.
Your opinion counts so we would be very grateful if you could complete the questionnaire which was enclosed within your welcome information pack. We use the information you provide to improve our performance. Your views are taken extremely seriously so please help us to enhance your future holidays with us by returning the questionnaire.

Before placing the dishes in the dishwasher, please remove the larger food particles to prevent the filter from becoming blocked, and load dishes with care.

Please familiarise yourself with the exit route from your lodge.
All necessary fire and safety precautions must be taken when using portable barbecues. All lodges have smoke detectors. We check the batteries regularly however, if you do need a replacement battery during your stay, please contact reception.

In Case of Fire

Only attempt to put the fire out if there is no danger to you. Call 999 and ask for the fire service. Give your lodge number and our address: Brokerswood Holiday Park, Brokerswood, Nr Westbury BA13 4EH.

All our public areas are fitted with fire alarms. If the alarm sounds, please evacuate the building following the instruction of our team members who are fully trained for this eventuality.

The hot tubs are set on a heater/filtration timing system which runs daily between 8 am and 10.30 pm.

The indicator will go on and off throughout cooking although the grill remains on. To turn the grill off turn selector switch to position 0.
