    First time down the range yesterday. Big old 100m range. You can shoot what you want just tidy up after yourselves. Nice to be on a range where nobody hangs over you. Treated like proper adults
    Definitely coming back.

    Great lake , owner of the Lake is a nice guy .
    I come here regularly as its just 25 mins drive and fish are well stocked . Caught 4 fish here , its a difficult lake to fish on but that’s what I prefer. My favourite peg is 10

    Hi just had a 48hrs session on peg 5. Fantastic time 10 carp one beauty mirror at 22lb.6oz/ 16lb.oz /18lb.4oz/14lb.8oz ..The rest low doubles & a couple of stockies. The venue is in outstanding woodland.The fish are in prestige condition well kept boundaries.Lee the owner is the most polite & well clued up on fish management he’s always there to give advise & a bit crack on. He is on site 24 Severn so security is his top priority on site toilet which is kept immaculate. His head bailiff Ray has hands on experience which he has policed it & fished for many years. He also polite & loves to have a chat willing to give advise if needed.what more can I say it speaks for itself excellent value for money . So get in touch & catch a PB .well done Lee hats of to you freinds & family to a fantastic venue see you soon all the best .David

    Came for the first time last week on a overnighter. Was not disappointed. Got 3 lovely Carp and my pal got a lovely double figure fish. Back again today with 3 pals,lovely venue, peaceful. The owner Lee has restricted it to 10 swims which gives you a great area to fish. Definitely worth a visit.

    In my opinion the best bream fishing in the North East . Great fun long distance feeder fishing in an idyllic setting .

    A developing fishery that’s improving all the time . The course fish are superb !

    Owned by a passionate guy who I’ve found to be really welcoming and helpful.

    Will be returning regularly.

    Our first visit to watergate yesterday and amazing from Lee the owner giving my son some great advice on how to cast where to fish to the great amount of knowledge shared my son caught over 20 beautiful fish 🐟 the site it’s self is stunning the relaxed atmosphere and his family also is very helpful,

    my son is autistic and adhd and fishing and rifle shooting is his hobbie
    To find such a hidden gem local to us that provides all he loves to do and the best advice too from all what he needed for fish safely to rods bait was perfect as I didn’t know

    The lake it’s self is stunning very clean you can see lots of work has been done and the new outdoor rifle range is fabulous too
    My son was so happy to have a go so will be booking this up too

    The welcome we received was really lovely as we are new to this everything was explained simple for me to understand and for my son

    I’m looking forward to the new glamping pods been build as I feel this would be great to stay for the fishing and the rifle range and for him to experience a night time fish session

    Only problem I had we didn’t want to come home 😊 we just love it here

    I thought I’d give a review from a parent view if they have children with additional needs or mobility issues the new parking bays are just a short distance from the lake which was great for my health needs

    I booked a plus one guest I do have a fishing license also but was so great seeing my son learn and catch beautiful fish by himself making it a great life lesson for sure

    I made sure I read the lake rules taking our rubbish home as it’s only right

    I’ve booked again today and feel happy I’ve found a safe beautiful lake we can visit regularly for fishing and for the rifle range

    Credit to Lee and his beautiful family and Saffy the little furbsbie makes it even more welcoming
