Liked: Excellent setting, the static was clean and well equipped, the grounds are well kept and secure. The hostess was welcoming and helpful on arrival. Fishing was great with lots of fish caught of a reasonable size. The holiday was a fishing break for me my son and brother and for that could not have been better and we were lucky enough to enjoy good weather during our stay.

Disliked: In contrast to the hostess the host was grumpy and not at all pleasant. Although the static could not be faulted, I would not recommend it for 3 grown men as the bedrooms are tiny but for a family with children it would be fine. I cannot understand why the grounds are so well kept and yet the banks of the lake have not been maintained in years. There is not one platform that is safe to use, they are all rotted and overgrown and constitute a health and safety issue. A portaloo would also be desirable as it is a way back to toilet facilities, not at all friendly to people with mobility issues.

From the manager: Thank you for your review we are glad you were happy with the cleanliness of your caravan and the well keep grounds. I would like to address your dislikes. The caravan has standard size bedrooms for a 3 bedroomed caravan, however the beds in the twin rooms can be pushed together to make small doubles. At the time of your booking, you did have the choice of either the caravan or one of our cottages. You decided on the cheaper option. I did greet you and managed to accommodate your 3-hour unarranged early arrival. I also explained we were in the process of removing the fishing platforms as we no longer require them, and fishing is now from the bank. Quite clearly this did not affect your fishing. We do not have a portaloo as most of our customers prefer to use their own toilets in their accommodation. I also said you could take your car to the lake as you had had a recent keen operation you opted not to do this. My husband doesn't get involved in people's holidays and only spoke to you once only to say if you have two vehicles' one will have to be parked in the main farmyard so puzzled by your comment.

Liked: The fishing at the lake was probably the best weeks fishing I have had and I am 65 so been a few places,we had booked a caravan but was upgraded free of charge, caravan was really good but I am disabled and the steps were to much for me, the lodge was first class and very clean,my wife and sister-in-law had some good days out with plenty to see and do while I was fishing all in all would recommend (especially the fishing) had a good week will book again any one who enjoys the fishing will love this place host's were helpful and friendly, just try it yourself promise you won't be disappointed.
