Yes I would but you need to ask / listen to Mark on first day to get as much info as possible to help catch these crafty fish. It’s a long drive down but fairly easy directions.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes definitely. Angling lines have been excellent at every step of the holiday even including changing our return train crossing as had to return home early. Would definitely use angling lines in the future.

General Comments:

John Deb and Mark were fantastic, very friendly and welcoming. The food package was great, plenty of food deb also adjusted the menu for a fussy eater. John was down twice a day brekfast and dinner, deb was there every day for dinner as well. we met Mark on the first day he done a tour of villafond with some peg and spot advice and then popped down a few times and even took the time to bring down some rigs he uses and explained them to us and how he targets the big fish, top man.

So a massive thank u to John Deb and Mark for an excellent time.

Four anglers
One forty five and a half mirror
One 21lb mirror to Andy Roberts
One 37lb mirror, one 65lb sturgeon and one 5lb mirror to Joe

Unfortunately nothing to fourth angler

Tried everything hit runs but nothing on the end, small fish ?????

Basic but ok. Advice to be taken:- take your own barrow there’s are a bit small like shopping trolleys not sturdy go over if loaded up.

General Comments:

The bailiff Mark Lambert only saw him on arrival but as described was supposed to be there to advise and help but was never seen.

*Angling Lines note* We have spoken to the venue about this and understand that Debbie or John were at the lake twice a day to deliver the food packages, Mark also delivered the breakfast one of the days. We urge customers to let the owners know at the time or, if they are not down at the lake at the time, to give them a call if you would like any advice. Mark would be very happy to discuss but was unaware of a problem. We apologise if you felt this was not communicated to your party.
