No . We didn’t realised it was a caravan and wasn’t clean !

No . The batteries run out of power on the Tuesday for ovwr 12 hours and then again on Wednesday and that meant we had no shower no water to clean with and no toilet .

No ! Not as it is

Not sure yet although while we was out in France they did get back to us quickly

General Comments:

Lodge is a caravan
Swims are over grown
Shower runs either hot or cold never a consistent temperature
Counter top oven takes ages to cook anything and the temperature gauge doesn’t work
BBQ was drty and has no utensils
The power system is terrible we had to be very cautious of what we used after running out of power twice and being left with nothing, unplugging the tv and second fridge to save power
The owners did send a guy to recharge the batteries but he was with us for most of the day . But the biggest problem no running water and no plan for this problem. Not providing water to flush the toilet and hand sanitizer to even clean your hands . The following day we woke up to no power again and was told “ it’s gonna be sunny today the system should charge up again “ for the rest of week it felt like a Bivvy fishing trip . Obviously this totally killed the trip and it played on your minds so we had to be very cautious and careful of what we used for the rest of our trip
On the Saturday morning we did however have to use more power than we had to pack and clean the caravan this then resulted in not being able to have showers to travel home as the power systems alarm was flashing and we didn’t want to drain the power out for the next guest to arrive and have no power

*Angling Lines comment* Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that aspects of your stay did not meet your expectations. We have spoken to the owners, Jonathan and François, regarding the points you have raised.

The electrician's assessment was that the power failure on Tuesday was caused by an overload from a high-wattage appliance that was brought to the lake with your party. This was the first time the system had been fully depleted, and we appreciate that guests would not necessarily know the system's limits. A generator was brought in to recharge the batteries. We have discussed with the owners the importance of clearer guidance on how the system behaves, and we have updated our website wording. We are very sorry for the disruption you experienced.

The owners have confirmed that the shower instructions are displayed on the door and explained on arrival, but they will recheck the temperature consistency. They were not made aware of any issues with the counter top oven during your stay and guests staying the following week reported no problems with it, however they will check it. Barbecue utensils are stored beneath the stove and shown to guests on arrival.

Details of your catches:

Me and my grandson had 11 takes and landed 8 biggest going 34.9lb, weather made the fishing hard with the temp going up to 38c.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

3 takes came to 1 can of corn in the bait boat over a Ronnie rig with ESP double pop up corn. The rest of the takes came to a mix of micro pellet in a pva mesh bag slid down the rig with the hook pulled in to the bag with either double 18mm Mainline HARD bottom baits or snowman rig with hard bottom bait with Korda super wrapped pop ups.
Crayfish was active, as learned early in when you reel in with your pop up gone or tiny piece left. Some spots were more active with the crays than others.
Fish came from margins with one coming from the centre of the lake, only used the rowing boat once as it spooked the fish, didn’t see any fish jump for the rest of the day after we used it and they bosh quite often in the day and all night.
All fish came just after dark up till 11:30am, big boulders in some places so get a good snag leader and the fish could quite easily take you round the island , take your waders if you want to stalk them behind the island very shallow so need to wade out to land them. The peg outside the cabin is quite a drop to the water so was grateful I had my bait boat dropper save your knees lol.

Were the facilities what you expected?

The wife slept in the cabin and me and the grandson slept in the bivvy. All bedrooms was clean and beds were comfy. Kitchen living room was clean with everything you would need.
The TV had every channel that you could want, not that we watched it with the weather being nice we sat under the massive canopy which was so cool out the sun. The STARLINK wifi was amazing. Bathroom was clean.
Cabin was very modern looking credit to owners. BBQ was brilliant we used it everyday.

Were you happy with them?

The lads were very welcoming friendly and helpful bit of translating on the phone. Very happy, will defo return in the future, perfect for families. We were all amazed with the different noises we heard coming from the forest and some spooky noises on the night lol

Couldn’t fault the place, really stunning lake cabin and surroundings, only thing I could have wished for is a bigger freezer.

Straight forward running lead with a 20mm krill flavoured boilie. Plus a couple of handfuls of the owner’s pellets.

Lovely venue. Helpful French owners. With temperatures over 30c every day I thought the venue fished well considering.
