Fantastic weeks fishing, caught fish every day 35 in total. Accommodation is lovely and Jon and Sophie were very helpful.

Thank you for everything - the best fishing week ever ! Fourth time here, won't be the last ! The results speak for themselves.

Sophie and Jon are the best hosts and as a plus Sophie is one of the best Chefs in France !

We have had a perfect relaxing week, many thanks to Jon and Sophie, who through their hard work have created a fishery that is absolutely spot on.

I have never caught fish that are in such beautiful condition. Smashed my PB with a huge common (still smiling !) Lake, Gite and surroundings are all faultless. See you next year.PS Oscar is a star we want to take him home !

A great relaxing week, enjoyed the welcome pack and Sophie's meals were excellent. Lovely gite and surroundings. Fishing slow to start but with

Jon's advice picked up midweek. Overall 10/10 - very well run fishery. Thanks for being great hosts and all the best for the future.

One word would be enough to describe this holiday - FANTASTIC ! My wife and I have just had the most relaxing 2 weeks of our lives -

the accommodation was excellent and more...The fishing was great even though I only fished a few hours in the mornings and again in the

afternoons, I beat my PB 5 times finishing with a superb 38lbs 5ozs.The surrounding area is beautiful with some lovely villages and towns to visit.

One big thank you to Jon, Sophie and Oscar.

I have fished all over the world but my time at Les Croix was one of the most memorable trips ever - with a new personal best common carp .

We had a great holiday - 2 weeks relaxation, the gite was very comfortable, we would like to thank Jon and Sophie for their help and services

- the meals were great and our last wishes go to Oscar who was a great playing companion for our dog !

See you next year. Have re-booked for 2011 and 2012.

Second visit to this venue - first year was great, and this year even better with over 1000lbs of carp landed. Facilities are superb and hosts excellent.

Have booked again for 2011.

Ian and Anne Wright, Harlow, Essex. 17th June 2010  

 

We were amiably greeted on arrival by our friendly hosts Jon and Sophie and the lovable Oscar ! The gite is very clean with all mod cons neccessary

for a weeks stay. Despite the unseasonal cool wet weather, the fishing was superb with 33 fish to 38lbs+. We were looked after superbly and we

enjoyed some sumptuous meals throughout the week. Jon and Sophie always had time for a chat but were unobtrusive, making us feel relaxed

and at home. It was our intention to go out sihgtseeing but we enjoyed Les Croix so much that we rarely ventured out !

We have had a great holiday and would highly recommend the venue. It is a great place to bring the children being completely fenced and secure.

The pool is a great bonus when it is hot - unfortunately not this week but that meant great fishing weather in which we caught 34 fish, all in pristine condition and very hard fighting. Fishmeal boilies were the most productive baits. Sophie and Jon both very friendly and helpful and Oscar the dog

a big hit with the kids ! A very stress-free environment in which to catch some beautiful fish.

The Moore family, Berks. 12th June 2010

 

We all had a simply fabulous time, ther fishing was great we all had PB's, the fish are huge and in fab condition. Jon was very helpful with tips and ideas

for fishing. The gite is very comfortable and the pool welcome for cooling off on a hot day. Sophie's cooking is wonderful and Sue found it great not to have to cook for a week ! The most relaxing holiday we have ever had and we have rebooked for October.

The Spreckley family,  Bedford,  5th June 2010  

 

We have had a fantastic week's holiday fishing and relaxing. Accommodation is superb, food is wonderful, many thanks to Sophie and the fishing

has been excellent with the fish in pristine condition, thanks to Jon who runs an extremely professional fishery which is a credit to him. One could

not ask for better hosts including Oscar the dog ! A lovely place to spend a week relaxing.  Many thanks for a geat holiday.
