Details of your catches:

2 x koi carp
1 x grass carp
6 x big carp (best 41lb)
Lots of smaller carp

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

At first was using a mixed size of boilies but was catching a lot of small carp. Changed to just 15 and 20 mm boilies, and that stopped a lot of the smaller carp and started catching the bigger ones.
He moved his rods further up the lake to another swim, and that worked better than outside the sleeping area.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, had everything that we needed. You know that it’s not luxury accommodation before you go so was not expecting that. The room with the toilet, shower and cooking is a great area that you can keep all your belongings

General Comments:

My son was fishing (15yo but goes carp fishing regularly). He wanted to beat his uk PB but go somewhere that wasn’t too difficult. We chose here as the lake wasn’t too big or deep for him.
The lake is lovely and you are shaded from the sun for most of the day (although you can find places to sit in the sun if that’s what you want). There are a couple of other pegs that you can fish from, which we did. We didn’t fish during the night. Fabien and his family are lovely and welcoming. We had a great holiday

General Comments:

Anyone looking to book this venue will not be disappointed, fantastic place.

Details of your catches:

35 carp to 17lb, 2 koi to 10lb, 2 tench and 6 catfish to 16lb. Whilst none of the larger carp in the lake showed themselves, the weather had been very hot prior to my visit so it's possible this had an impact on the feeding of the larger fish. The majority of the fish I had were under 5kg, however, the numbers helped to make up for the lack of larger specimens.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Boilie over a bed of particle and crushed boilie on a simple hair rig. The fish seemed to prefer the deeper areas during the day coming into the shallows close to the in the evenings and early morning. A bait boat is an absolute must as the margins are quite difficult to hit otherwise.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Better than I thought they'd be. The sleeping pods were ideally positioned close to the main fishing platform to allow quick access to rods but far enough back to benefit from the shade of the trees and allow plenty of room in front so as to not impede the fishing. They had lighting and power to charge essentials like phones and bait boat batteries.

The shower/toilet and kitchen room was a welcome addition and added some luxury to the experience. Just the ability to get out the heat and have a shower really made a difference.

Were you happy with them?

More than happy. Everything was clean and ready to use on my arrival. Fabien and family were incredibly good hosts and couldn't have done more to make my stay a great one. The main fishing platform allowed good access to the majority of the lake and there were two additional platforms further down to cover the bits that weren't accessible from the main platform.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Definitely. The set up there makes the whole experience very enjoyable. Fabien is more than happy to provide advice and takes a real interest in the tactics and fishing choices of his guests.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, the whole experience was really easy from start to finish.

General Comments:

General Comments:

A more relaxing venue would be hard to find, the lake looks like an English estate lake with overhanging trees on both banks. The angling huts are ideal and spacious with a good view of the lake, if you're looking for a peaceful relaxing venue I would certainly recommend linstant. Fabien and his family and ideal hosts and are very welcoming
