Awesome, thanks! I'll have to drop in & get more info on the tickets.
Do you have any plans of going back over the winter?

Also used to fish this place, way back when, used to work there for a while, whilst I was at school, cutting the grass and helping mick the Baillif.
Wouldn't mind getting on the championship lake, just a shame the cabins are taking over that side as well now.
If I remember correctly, they did loose a load of fish, but have had a few put back in, I think it was on there Facebook page if u scroll far enough back.

I went & had a walk round about a month or so back.
I was put off a little by all the extra cabins, pods etc. TBH, & I imagine it would be very busy during the warmer months. They seem to be constantly adding & improving.
For anyone that's interested they offer several different tickets options.
A full ticket was around £250 from memory or you can join for £30 & pay as you go, which gives you access to the championship lake.

I had a cabin on the cabin lake which gets rammed, there was even people fishing the opposite bank which is against the rules.
I walked around the championship lake and that looks lovely but very weedy, i didn't think there was any cabins that backed onto it though.

I think there were some near to it but I didn't notice any actually on the lake. I was under the impression that the championship lake was for members only & not for the holiday makers? - I may be mistaken.
It is very weedy & I've never seen anyone fishing it the last few times I've been. There did appear to be some clear spots though. It is a nice looking lake.
Did you do any good while you were on the cabin lake?

Im not sure too be fair, i would have said it was syndicate members only, i walked my dog round there and counted up 5 bivvies.
I had a 17lb mirror from the cabin lake but it was hard fishing, im sure i had a glimpse of an otter in the lake too one evening.
There certainly trying to promote the place Ali Hamdi has been there and Dave Levry was there match fishing the smaller lake when i was staying over.
If your local id recommend the Thai on site, they also do takeaway its very good.

Carpology were there last year also!
Bl**dy otters. That's not so good.
It looked like a nice restaurant & thanks for the recommendation. We both love Thai so I'll have to treat mr's clonker sometime. I'm only 15 mins away so on my doorstep really.

Hi all,
Has anyone fished this place recently? Going on a family trip this weekend coming and hoping to spend a few afternoons fishing.
A few people have never angled before so which lake is best for a few bites?

I think you'd want a cabin on 'cabin' lake tbh and pick which one you want based on what sort of water it commands; i only stayed there once in feb and just had the rods off the jetty and had a few to 24lb so should be good fishing in the spring / warmer months.
Walked it a few times with the dog when been in the area and it never seems too busy other then the pub/restaurant which is you usual ribs/burgers etc and seems to be split between quality/quantity which is consistent with the area.
Would recommend though and dont think you'll be disappointed; although i probably would feel a bit hemmed in on the smaller pools...
