Wonderful family oriented venue Pam and mark very good hosts. Fishing is the best we have had in France unfortunately no PBs this time. With 8 fish over 20lb still excellent, can’t wait to come back next year, see you June 5th 2010
(Steve and Barry. June 2009)
Everything was very clean we had everything you needed for a totally relaxing holiday
Dave’s biggest catch was a lovely 42.2lb common carp which is his personal best. Pam and Mark have been great and very good hosts brought down some lovely wine and good chatter. Will be back next yr and you never know even this year. (Has booked for 10th July 2010)
(Dave and Lisa Pickering. July 2009 )
What a superb holiday! We can’t wait to go back. The accommodation, facilities and hospitality were excellent, so too was the fishing. Lots of fish caught, plenty of doubles, a few twenties, the four sturgeon. Broke my PB with a 26.8lb, booked to go back later in the year, so I’m saving the bigger fish till then!
