General comments: We had a very enjoyable trip, we find dan & cheryl very accommodating and helpful and the lake was very picturesque, with excellent pegs, great facilities albeit a fridge would have been handy, fantastic to have the lake to ourselves without any hassle from other anglers. We both thought the home cooked food was excellent and there was a ready supply of good quality bait on site. Thanks for your help with organising the trip.
