Wow, what an amazing holiday! We were greeted by Glen and instantly made to feel relaxed, which was the theme of the holiday
When we arrived we were blown away by how beautiful the location was. The cottage was wonderfully clean and beautifully appointed. We have been lucky enough to stay in a number of properties around the UK and Europe. We are generally disappointed by how they are equipped, that was definitely NOT the case with this property. Glen and Linda have really put a great deal of thought and love into this property. It was a home from home, with a superbly equipped kitchen. The wifi and TV worked brilliantly, the sofas and beds were really comfy and the shower is amazing. This all wrapped up in a classic French property, what more could you want.
The grounds are sensitively maintained by Glen. The lake is manicured enough to be comfortably fisherable whilst still maintaining a natural feel. This is reflected in the amount of wildlife to be found around the lake. Be it the constant buzz of the kingfishers flying around the Pool or the Red squirrels climbing in the trees behind the swim. Simply wonderful.
We managed to have a BBQ nearly every lunchtime by the swim. This is our idea of a perfect day. Tranquility, some great food, and a glass of wine.
Finally the fishing. What can I say !!
Fishing only days I managed exactly 50 carp. The average size was around 35lb, and included 5 forties and five fifties, in reality, there are not many venues where you will get figures like this, especially on an exclusive basis.
The fish are in great condition and they are a testament to Glen's fishery management skills. So often in France, the fish are disappointing in appearance. Not so here.
My fiftieth fish was an amazing looking 58lber, you really could not make it up. I did not manage one of the sixties on this trip but we will be back to try and put one of them on the bank.
Thank you again Linda & Glen for providing the perfect setting for the perfect holiday.
