General Comments:

I am definitely not selling my fishing tackle and will definitely be back. Thanks again Richard for making us welcome.

Details of your catches:

39 fish to 44 and a half pounds over a two week stay

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Bollies over pellet and particle

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, we have been here before. Fishing wasn't up to the usual standard, but thats fishing. Don't let previous reports put you off. We had 52 or 54 fish between 2 of us a few years ago! There is nothing wrong with the bunk beds! I slept on them for the last night of our stay because I packed up on the Friday because I don't like getting up early, I had a great nights sleep apart from Mark waking me up for a photo shoot! (well worth it)

Were you happy with them?

I've left it on 5 stars but it isn't. Dont come here and expect the Hilton, however everything you need is here including a very accommodating bailiff (Rick) and his dog mixi, old but gold black lab that loves attention! Ive known Rick for a number of years now, Ive met up with him at other lakes across the region, dont struggle in silence, ask him and he will gladly help, although you may not take up his work ethic whilst on holiday (Rick will know) Your on holiday right?

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Oh yes, although the main road is a bit more noisy since its been resurfaced. Me and my friends have been coming here for the last ten years. Some of my mates hold the lake record for the most caught and the current lake record. Andy Talbot (Togy) Warrington MOT centre has the big one, You owe me one mate! Free MOT in October? LOL

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, booked for the last 6 years though you guys.

General Comments:

Another enjoyable stay at Lillypool.

Details of your catches:

Poor! I caught one measly carp at 20lb, Lewis caught 2 mirror carp one at 24lb and one at 16lb, Danny caught one decent catfish at around 79lb and one carp also in the 20lb's. And kirk caught 4 carp one at 30lb and the other 3 all mid 20's. It was absolutely appalling fishing, nothing we could do to get the fish eating and I understand that's how it goes sometimes but this trip is the straw that broke the camels back and has made me decide to sell my gear and leave carp fishing behind.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

None!!! We tried everything and the fish just weren't biting. I think The fish that were caught came down to sheer luck.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Not really no. Kitchen and bathroom were basic but absolutely fine but the bedroom was poor, it had what seemed to be kids bunk beds that looked far smaller and less comfy than our fishing beds which is exactly why we never ended up even using them.

Were you happy with them?

No. As I say kitchen and bathroom fine but I was looking forward to having a night off fishing and a decent night sleep mid week but seeing the bedroom made me stay in bivvy instead.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

After the shocking fishing and the effort and money spent just to catch one 20lb fish over 7 days was just an absolutely sole destroying experience and so no I wouldn't recommend. :note, Richard the baliff was really helpful and tried everything in his power to advise us and help us catch and he could have done no more, I understand its not his fault.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes. Angling lines was easy to book, easy to understand and log into customer area, easy to make payments. Angling lines was really good.

General Comments:

Holiday a complete disaster, so much so it's made me want to completely give up on carp fishing, Baliff very helpful and friendly but even with his advice we still had very poor fishing. Very disappointed. *Angling Lines note* We’re really sorry you had a tough week’s fishing and fully understand the frustration of this. Just to note the bunk beds are standard single bed size - 6’3 x 3ft and these are pictured on the website under 'accommodation photos'.
