The welcome on arrival was none existent from the moment we arrived it felt like the owner (Ray) didn't want us there and it was just an inconvenience. Not helpful, not friendly.

Ray was sort of okay, first greeting was negative about the fishing as he said it’s not been great fishing lately, your see them but hard to catch. Relayed very little tactics & best spots and not much else from him during our stay, swimming lake emptied & digger scrapping the bed for 4 days. Ask if we could fish for the perch & pike pass time of day he said no.

Not sure think you need to update the venues more often or be more precise with rules as in bait boilies need to be labelled as one guests were sealed freezer but not labelled so he just about let him use them. Fancied fishing for the perch but not allowed

General Comments:

Nice week weather wise, Ray from the off told us you may not catch as there not feeding well and not much more out of him during the week. Been a few places over the years and revisited but wouldn’t return here.

Owner Ray, is always available on the number in your info pack if you have any questions or would like advice. Ray has confirmed that the electric radiators are in full working order however do require turning on manually at the switch.

We were very unlucky with the weather, which was perfect the day we arrived but chucked it down pretty much the whole rest of the week. Really enjoyed meeting Ray and having daily chats.
Very nice little venue.
