The owners Nick and Tracey very friendly and helpful, Nicks fishing knowledge was top notch, lots of tales from years gone by. fishing is very good, weather was a bit against me but still caught some of the nice carp, our dog loved the walks around the lakes and woods, a return visit is already in the planning for next year.
