Arrived at the lake thinking this is a lovely place to fish, first impressions extremely well looked after venue and good looking swims etc
Had our pet talk about how they would like the fish to be handled and unhooked which was fine and first fish rule to check you are doing things the way they asked which was fine.
First fish all done etc and no issues which was fine and was asked if any are looking over the 40lb mark to radio in so they could come see them and take photos. Wasn't too happy about this as there is always added pressure being watched over but thought okay there lake and there rules.
The issues started getting worse and worse and by 3rd day there was a couple of us which wanted to pack our bags and go home which shouldn't happen on a holiday. Fish safety is key but got beyond a joke. To the point we were being watched 24 hours a day and I **** you not with a pair of binoculars. Felt extremely uncomfatble to fish and enjoy a well deserved holiday with friends. We was called louzy at points with fish handling and that if they fish kicked while holding it we had to return the fish immediately with or without a photo. There is no reasoning with the owner or his son. There right and that's that. No double lifting. Rules need to be revised
Sad to say we won't return on this basis even though the fish and venue are stunning. Be aware if your going for a lake exclusive there isn't much exclusive than adding 2 new members to your party and not being allowed to enjoy yourself and time with friends
(bitten my tongue writing this). Tight lines guys

about these bad rumours!!!!!!!
I first fished the lake in 2015:
I had a decent weeks fishing but no big ones, best was a scraper 30.
The owners were very helpful and the lake was extremely clean and tidy..
I booked up again for 2018, I was very surprised how the carp had packed on the pounds and the condition of them was brilliant!..
I had a blinding week, Breaking my PB twice in the same week!!
Because I had such a good week I decided to book again for 2019..
I arrived to see jo Richard and nick, had a cuppa and after then I began my walk around the lake with rich and nick..
water levels was slighty low due to the hot temperatures out in france..
I had another good weeks fishing lac rose, was hard during the day because or the heat, but managed 10 fish in total..
2x50lbs 4x 40lbs and breaking my PB yet again with a 56lb mirror..
Great lake!!!!! Great fish!!!! And good hosts.. Already booked for 2020!!!!!

Great honest review Nick , are you not the same Nick that lived there when my friends fished the lake.
You have the same name could be just a coincidence.
Good luck with your quest for s job ,

Rumours are story's that are doubtful and i assure you there is not a single lie or exaggeration in anything i wrote about the place, i could have added a lot more about the owner, his attitude and the way he treated us from the second we arrived and throughout our stay.
I also caught some decent size fish but one things for sure i 100% wont be going back and wouldnt advise anyone to go there.

Cannot beleive the son come on here to put a fake review that's crazy 😂. I feel sorry for you Nick honestly as you could have a great business there with your family but the way you guys acted like will put people off for return trips which is ashame because the lake is lovely.
Maybe become your own man when you run the place yourself 👍

Don't get me wrong some stunning fish, just awfully managed and didn't feel comfortable the whole time we was there, the binoculars rumour is definitely true as happened to us😂😂
we will definitely not be returning👍
we will definitely not be returning👍

Oh yeah, try the other leg, its got bells on.
Great fishery but the owner doesn't seem to like anyone fishing on it.
Oh I got a run he's behind me...........
