All round brilliant from start to finish, Angling Lines very cooperative with any questions asked etc, the venue was brilliant, Sophie was brilliant with any questions asked or anything required, pictures didn't do it justice in my eyes.
No sign of any rats which was a main concern of mine but all round brilliant and will return in the future.

They are more than adequate for a ‘Drive & Survive’ venue

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Absolutely. Easy drive, good social setup & stamp of fish is amazing. We’ve already booked again for 2026!

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Always an easy experience booking through Angling Lines

General Comments:

Although the larger spit was above water, there were swans nesting on there so we elected to fish to all corners of the lake from the spit on the far bank. Fishing was a little slow (evidence of fish spawning may not have helped - who knows?) Most fish were caught fishing from the back spit towards the cabins - lots of grass carp. One of our group had a good battle with a 124lb catfish! Always made to feel welcome again by Sophie.
