    Great fishery, only had the pleasure of fishing the first, Willow Lake, but will be back in the coming weeks to try out the other four!

    Really lovely place and well kept. Owner was a bit grumpy but it's a nice fishery with lots of choice in terms of the approach you want to take with brilliant parking. Prices about average. Took my daughter and we only managed to bag one decent bream on the Oak lake having tried the Chestnut first. One fish for the day is not what I'm used to but it was 3 degrees in fairness... Looking forward to trying again after Christmas once the weather warms up.

    Wet and cold when we went. Be mindful of going down the long track coming off the main road, go slowly and carefully as there is no lighting and you could miss the signs to the car park. Have wellingtons or waterproof boots due to muddiness and wrap yourself up well. Great for children who like the outdoors. Firepit at the halfway mark for the kids to roast a marshmallow. Hot and cold drinks with pizza or pie. The pizza was delicous and reasonably priced.

    This is the second time we've been to the "this green moon" event, and yet again it's been brilliant. Everything from the lighting to the campfire in the clearing is spot on. My two older boys firmly believe in the existence of swilligogs. I would highly recommend this brilliant wee place to anyone.

  • 4/5 Darren A. 2 years ago on Google
    Easy to find and a good venue, toilets are a bit of a trek from the ponds but at least theyre not potaloos,found the fishing abit slow though to say the least will be returning again in month or so to try again

    I've been for the first time with my 11-year old, who's just started out fishing. Helpful staff, beautiful site, no rubbish anywhere. We fished on two of the lakes, caught a nice variety of silvers on both. Definitely returning!

πŸ‘πŸ‘ I went here for a party. One of the best I’ve been to. Staff are really friendly and try everything possible to help you. A special mention to Bridget, she was very professional and put a massive small on my daughters face so for that. 5* she’s a credit to the company. Would 100% be going back in th...

😠 For a university that is know for its sports tradition its just disappointing... Even after the revamp of the gym everything is so crammed and there is no space for people to more around and do their thing. Ventilation is poor. Even the equipment such as the plates brought in are cheap and sadly bu...
