Absolutely loved it here. We stayed at Mayfly Cabin, the owners were so friendly and helpful, with great recommendations on where to eat and nice beaches in the area. We were able to buy smoked salmon which was a lovely treat for breakfast. Such a beautiful place to unwind. Exactly what we needed.
Kids had a fab morning. Caught a ridiculous number of fish. Problem was we didn't want to keep them all.
Not a cheap morning when you go home with 7 fish at £35 but great fun was had by all.
They demonstrated how to humanely kill the fish once caught, and happily gutted them for us.
Beautiful surroundings too, and very helpful friendly staff who recommended several places locally to visit and where to eat.
Note. You cannot use your own fishing rods so be prepared to pay for the rods as that is their policy.
Cracking fishery!... it is weedy, but the management do not make a secret of that and I enjoyed the challenge it presented.
I had no problem getting takes from the many fish in the lake, but due to my own ineptitude, I did not convert many of them. I did, however, manage to catch my quota within 3hrs of arriving.
Richard, who I dealt with both on the phone and at the fishery, was an absolute pleasure! Very helpful indeed!
I look forward to visiting again when I am back in the area.
A very fun little lake, well stocked with rainbows of fairly decent size.
There is enough here to test your casting and placement for a half day at least.
The cafe is very pleasant and serves decent grub whilst you can find all you need (like those extra flies you always seem to need) in the small shop.
Wonderful morning in the rain and sun . Richard and team and blakewell exceptional as always
A wonderful place, great value for money, kids loved catching there 1st rainbow trout on fly. Staff really helpful great bunch.
I love it here. So tranquil, and the fish are in great numbers. My favourite place to fish.
What a fun place to have a cream tea, you can watch kids and adults having great fun fishing in the small fish ponds. You take ho.e what you catch, I thoroughly recommend a visit if you're passing. Staff really friendly and welcoming, go and have fun.
Lovely place, only stopped here for a coffee and a walk around with the dog but my gosh it was worth it! Lovely scenery and lovely staff on hand too :)
What a hidden gem this is! What an amazing place. Wonderful helpful staff. Amazing food and such a beautiful setting. Staff went above and beyond to help us. Can not find a single fault!
