👍 The facilities are flawless, the shop, cafe and toilets are all impressive. The lakes are all decent with good upkeep. Friendly atmosphere. Would be 5 stars if card and cash payments were consistent. Some things are cash only whilst others are card. Still massively recommend.

    Lovely lakes, good catches. Staff really helpful. Has small tackle shop. Cafe wasn't open when we visited. Toilets lovely and clean (actually the cleanest we've used)

    Brilliant day's fishing, looking forward to going back. Egg Bacon and Sausage Roll for breakfast was spot on! I'd recommend venue to all Angler's.

    Visited for the first time to fish the midweek open match. First impressions were good, very nice looking, pegs well spaced and signs of fish everywhere. Throughly enjoyed the match, caught a wide variety of species, F1's, Carp, Tench, and loads of Ide and Barbel. Every fish was in fantastic condition and I am really looking forward to getting back there. Well stocked tackle shop, helpful and friendly advice and I believe there are further facilities to come. Only negative is it's not closer to Oxford.

    I fish here regularly. A lovely fishery, well stocked tackle shop, very helpful and friendly staff. A few different lakes to choose from and something to suit all angling ability. Great breakfast served in the cafe. Very reasonable prices. The toilets were spotless. Well done Orchard Lakes. Thank you Shaine for all your help and advice. Mark

    Orchard lakes, great all round fishing venue. Five well stocked lakes and a small lake for beginners. There is a new tackle and bait shop next to a lovely cafe restaurant with indoor and outdoor eating. Nice little menu, getting very popular. New toilet facilities and some over night spots for motor home or camping available.

    Had my second visit to Orchard Lakes this weekend and fished Match Lake again in preparation / practice for actually matches coming up in the next few weeks. With a strong cold wind I was guided to select one of the pegs at the top of the lake with cover from the hedging and landed on Peg 15 with a fish over to a bank and lily pad area. Really good advice and service from the guys in the shop which is well stocked. As expected at this time of year it was hard going initially fishing over to the old/rotted lilies which will soon start to spring into life again - but were sufficient to apparently hold the F1s. Eventually it got going and I ended the session with just under 40 fish and about 25lbs. Three nice 2-3lb carp, F1s, Ide and Crusians. The complex is great, certainly looking forward to fishing Match Lake as the weather and fishing improves, you can park behind your peg and the shop, toilets and soon to be completed cafe are modern and clean.

    My first visit, followed by my first ever carp catch!, lovely place, facilities are nice and clean, Café was lovely, and the bait and tackle shop is stacked with loads of things, all the staff were helpful and nice, camp site was great, hard standing with electric, I will definitely be back here, only one thing was the gents could do with an extract fan in the loo, above the toilet, a very minor thing, but it could do 😄😷

    Great place for carp fishing and also match fishing tackle shop and a great cafe breakfast tea coffee great for the whole family caravan area well worth a visit

  • 5/5 June B. 1 year ago on Google
    Truly outstanding fishing, lovely cafe and great bait shop. The area is lovely and peaceful. The site is pleasant and the pitches are level. We needed to go out and buy an additional electric cable as our 25 meter didn't reach the hookup, but the owners were away so there was no one to show us where bins/waste etc were. The only downsides were that the gate is locked at 5pm and the residents on site were sworn to secrecy on the code (so we couldn't go out for the evening), the toilets and showers look clean but are situated by the shop and cafe no where near the caravans. However, none of this will put us off, we will be returning.

    Great place for fishing. Friendly welcome, even from the little guard dog, easily accessible for wheelchairs too and the fish fight like mad cant wait to go back

  • 5/5 Derek Malcolm B. 1 year ago on Google
    First time there for me and my son.also first time lake fishing. What can I say fabulous place to fish. Plus all sustainable fish in lakes. The owners were really very helpful as they showed us how to fish with poles for barble, silver,roach and of course carp fishing. I do not rearly recommend places with 5 stars, but orchard place gets this. New cafeteria. Good options with breakfast and also coffee and tea and also reasonable price. I will camp there next time as all new fercillities in place. Like I say what a great place to fish for all and especially for beginners like us. Thanks again guys who are running this. You made my sons holiday even more special.

    Wow what a days fishing I had on 26th of August. Fish every cast, no fancy baits just good old fashioned basic fishing, as a husband who is a carer for my wife it was the best days rest bite I could have asked for. My thanks to Shane and all the staff, fantastic fishery, keep up the good work, yours Brian Nicklen
