Absolutely fantastic holiday from start to finish, we didn't want to leave. This was our first family fishing trip in France and it did not disappoint. Lionel and Véronique are literally the best and kindest people you could ever meet. They will go above and beyond to meet any needs you may have. Lionel is also a very experienced fisherman and knows the lake inside out. He will have alot of tips for anyone needing them. We enjoyed it that much we have booked up for next year within days of returning home, for 2 weeks. The countryside surrounding the venue are breathtaking. There are many local supermarkets, bakeries and restaurants within minutes. We can't wait to return next year! We all had the most amazing holiday and made memories to last a lifetime. Can't thank Lionel and Véronique enough!!

General Comments:

Lional and Véronique the lake owners are very helpful, their kindness and warmth are just part of what make them truly special hosts. We could not recommend Heart Lake enough, 5*

Details of your catches:

We had an unusually difficult few days fishing at Heart lake. Due to some bad weather and seasonal timing I think the lake was just taking some time out but that being said we still managed 5 carp to mid 30's over a few days and the facilities and surroundings made our time feel like a really nice holiday. The owners at Heart lake are the loveliest people and brought us cakes and croissants each day. Can't fault it had a great time. beautiful place

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Small amounts of bait fishing tiger nuts or small boilies over the few days we visited. I even managed to catch one on a ZIG! don't be afraid to try one! Lots of carp showing during our time here :)

Were the facilities what you expected?

Beautiful facilities, the sundeck area at the lakeside has a bbq and kitchen area which is epic!
