Fine cottage, well equipped with kitchen things etc.

Lovely tranquil location. Great place to escape too for fishers and non-fishers alike. Lots to do and see out and about. Owners Howard & Elaine lovely people.
GREAT HOLIDAY

Andy & John
Best Cats - 8 over 70lb , 6 over 60lb
Carp 28.4 & 36.8
Most fish from deep end of lake , abliet tried shallows only to get more cats.
Happy with facilities which were as expected but fishing wasn't. far too many cats in a lake this size.
Would only recommend if they wanted cat fishing.
A beautiful venue and good accomodation but the carp fishing is spoilt by the sheer number of big cats versus the size and shape of lake.

Bob,Dave,Mike & Chris
Carp to 36-10, all carp over 25lb.
Cats to 78lb, they will eat everything.
Sturgeon 3 to 17lb
& a Pike on a boille.
Fish were caught from most swims / areas. Cats tended to come from baited area in open water, and carp from the margins , and around island.
Variety of baits caught , but pop ups more successful.
Very Definately Recommend.
Very enjoyable visist, big thank you to Elaine and Howard, who are both very helpful and accommodating. We look forward to a return visit.

Ron & Shiela
Fishing days only
Best carp 5 over30lb to 36lb
Cats too big for my tackle - hammered my carp gear but still managed to land 3 to 50lb.
Fished double swim into aerator shallows and middle of deeper main lake .
Happy with facilities as have been before.
Carp were spawning early part of the week so struggled to catch but sport improved later on. Large cats gave me a hammering- lost loads. Next time I need heavier lines, hooks and generally uprated gear. These cats are VERY FIT.

John & Joyce
I fished days only.
14 fish caught.Best Cats 75,69,64,60,60 Best Carp 4 over 30lbs up to 39lbs
Tactics fished middle of lake to dam end, use pellets and you will catch the big cats, which are AWESOME. Fish near airator when weather gets hot.
Facilities very good and would recommend.
General comments: Heatwave 30 degrees plus slowed fishing down. As weather cooled sport impoved. Lovely lake , total peace and quiet, had a great time. Landing net broke on last day - too much strain!!!

Tom,Dave,Cliff & Wills.
Carp to 27lb, Sturgeon 20lb, unable to land any of the big cats.
Facilities better than expected , best venue we have ever stayed at , in over 20 years of coming to France fishing. This venue has the potential to be the best Carp and Cat fishery in this area of France if the lake is netted and all smaller fish are removed.
( NOTE :we have organised a professional netting of the lake for later this year to remove all smaller fish and to obtain accurate stocking levels for the carp and cats)
