Were the facilities what you expected?

The facilities are very good as the outdoor kitchen and seating area is accessible from pegs 1, 2 & 3. Unfortunately the cleanliness of the facilities was a major let down.

Were you happy with them?

No

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

I would not recommend this venue to a friend. The front of the swim 3 is dangerous and is in need of repair, there are too many pest fish in the lake and we caught an unacceptable number of bream and tench. The lake needs to be netted in our opinion.

*Angling Lines comment* Thank you for your feedback. We have discussed with the owner, he is aware of the deterioration due to flooding earlier this year and repair will be done in the closed season.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

I would recommend Angling Lines but i would expect them to address our concerns regarding the Golden Carp Lake.

General Comments:

On the day before leaving the owner drew our attention to a cleaning checklist where we were expected to the clean the kitchen and toilets fully. The issue with this is we were not provided with any cleaning materials and we tidied the area as best we could. On the day of the departure the owner treated us like children and told us that the kitchen was not clean enough. In hindsight, it seems that the owner expects each guest party to bring the facilities up to standard in readiness for the next visitors. This is unachievable due to the lack of cleaning products available. Surely the owner should bring the facilities up to standard before the next guests arrive.

3 beautiful carp all over 30lb
