The accommodation, which has wifi, is of a high standard making this a perfect venue for a family holiday or for those anglers wanting a bit more comfort. It is around a 2 hour drive from the ferry ports of Caen or St Malo.
The lake is around 3 acres in size and was dug in the 1980s. It can be fished by up to 4 anglers and has around 120 carp to 50lbs. As of 2022 there are around 25 to 30 carp over 40lbs, a big head of 30s with the remaining carp over 20lbs.
Surrounded by mature trees, bushes and reeds with an island at one end, this spring fed lake is set in 15 acres of private countryside providing sublime tranquil surroundings. The lake bed consists of soft mud with silt pockets and gravel patches. Depths range from 3 feet in the shallowest areas down to around 11ft in the deepest parts.
The water quality is superb and the lake contains a lot of natural food. In addition to the natural food, the carp have been fed on a high protein pellet and boilie diet which has resulted in consistent weight gains season after season.
