General Comments:

Genuinely lovely owners, very happy to help with supermarket runs, charging and suppling ice packs. Lake is pretty , fish in good condition, need to be aware margin snags and be prepared to feed of the smaller fish which could be removed to improve the lake

General Comments:

We booked this venue after watching a number of hours of blogs...mostly from Mark who I believe Is the son of the owners who now doesn't appear to have an affiliation with the lake. The lake owners Debbie and John were lovely and easy to talk to and the lake itself was a nice place to be although it clearly lacked management....most swims were difficult to cast and a baitboat was definitely needed. Also I would not recommend the food or particle package here....although the food was edible it was not enjoyable and I regret not planning to cater for for myself....the particle was frozen and was brought it plastic bags that fell apart when handled.....overall I feel the lake is over sold.....the catch average was poor and well below what is stated.....I questioned this with the lake owners and felt like the responses given were diversive and vague....I will say that communication with Angling lines during some difficulty travelling was superb (thank you Jo) and I wouldn't hesitate to book through them in the future.

We absolutely loved our trip and caught some really nice fish. I caught 5 that were all bigger than my UK PB of 32lb. Debbie, Mark and John were all very accomodating and couldn't do enough for us.

The lake is beautiful and in a nice quiet area. Amazing view of the stars at night as well.

We plan to go back to this venue ASAP
