Reviews 2011

 

Our third visit to this fabulous place ! We have all had time to wind down and relax. The hosts were as welcoming as ever, the food wonderful and the fishing again exceeding all expectations - not quite as many fish as last time but the big common made up for that ! Thank you for another fantastic French fishing holiday !

Our second visit and every bit as good as the first ! Having the food package made this a true holiday as Sue was fishing instead of cooking,

all the meals were superb - thank you. The kids were always pleased to see Jon and Oscar every time, thanks to both of you for all the help and advice, this has been a great fishing trip and also a lovely family holiday with lots of fun memories and pictures to take back with us.

Tim and Sue Moore, Isobel and Dillon, Berkshire. 22nd October 2011.  

Our stay at Les Croix was wonderful, such a beautiful and tranquil place to recharge and relax. The gite is comfortable and clean, the flowers and welcome pack are a lovely thought. The weather was warm for the first half of the week and Lyn manged to brave the pool for a cool-off ! The fishing was slow for the first couple of days due to the hot weather but picked up later and we caught some great fish - quality rather than quantity which is exactly what we want from a venue.

Another wonderful relaxing week at Les Croix ! Third time here and the slowest in terms of the fishing, however still banked a PB mirror of 45-14.

All fish caught as always in perfect condition. The hosts were their usual friendly selves with Jon's advice a huge help. Accommodation perfect as usual - flowers and welcome hamper treats included ! Already looking forward to May 2102 - can't wait !

Ken and Rachel, Kings Bromley, Staffs. 24th September 2011.  

All three of us have had a nice first visit to Les Croix. Big thanks to Jon and Oscar too of course. The gite was perfect - so clean on arrival with a lovely living space and the shower room was particularly good. The fishing was slow at times due to weather and fish not feeding, however the highlight of the trip was the big mirror caught mid-week. Weather mixed with some light showers and also some warm sunshine. Lots to do in the region for the non-anglers, all in all avery relaxing and sress-free week for us all. We have re-booked for 2012.

Steve Eastwood and family, Cheshire. 17th September 2011.  

Five-Star accommodation finished to a very high standard with attention to detail, welcome pack on arrival, lovely views, loved the pool.

Steady fishing with 14 carp and Danny smashing his PB. Thanks for a great time and hope to see you soon.

Jackie and Danny Smith and Maria  27th August 2011.  

Had a fantastic time - both thoroughly  relaxed and chilled. The fishing was a a bit slow, due to weather very hot and humid, but near to the end

of the week the lake yielded a beautiful 40lb mirror (new PB). The gite was lovely and the food absolutely fantastic ! We were spolied rotten

all week and we will now have to go on a salad diet for the next few weeks ! The hosts were both very friendly and helpful.

A big thank you for such a relaxing and productive week's holiday. We have rebooked for 2013.

Our second stay at Les Croix, not too much to add because we said it all last year - it was of course a pleasure.

Jurgen Hallmann and family, Germany  13th August 2011.  

You get exactly what it says on the tin ! A fantastic holiday for the fishermen and the ladies and children. The gite was clean and comfortable,

weather warm ansd sunny for the first few days, great for the kids in the pool, better fishing weather later in the week, 20's, 30's and two 40's,

Bradley a new PB of 37-12 he is so chuffed. Great holiday and hope to repeat the experience.

Alan Marshall + family, Ongar, Essex. 6th August 2011.  

Our first visit to Les Croix- we had a lovely time, the gite was very clean, the weather was good, loved the surroundings it was so quiet !

The hosts are lovely people always there to help which is really nice. Enjoyed the fishing - 20 carp with 3 x 40's.

Steve and Angie Mason,  Nuneaton, Warks. 30th July 2011.  

We tried to book last year but the venue was full - we now understand why ! The gite is so clean, comfortable and well equipped, and

sits in lovely quiet surroundings. The hosts provide a superb welcome pack and are knowledgable and helpful. I strongly reccommend the superb meals ! Unfortunately this year the weather was poor so we were not able to use the pool - but as we have booked again for 2012 we are hoping that next year will be different. Many thanks to you both and to Oscar !

John and Sally Richards, West Mersea, Essex.  23rd July 2011  

Our third time at Les Croix and we have booked again for 2012. Fantastic weather and fishing, Ian caught 27 carp and smashed his PB !

Already looking forward to our return next year - it's always lovely to see you and Oscar.

Ian and Anne Wright, Harlow, Essex.  16th July 2011  

What a fantastic week ! Ken, Lorraine and Stephen were fishing while Mick, Julie, Leanne and Ella-Mai relaxed in the beautiful gite and pool,

a real home from home. A brilliant relaxing break - The owners were so helpful and showed us how to practice proper fish care for the

big carp that we caught. HAPPY DAYS !

The Moore family, Sandy, Bedfordshire UK    9th July 2011  

Second visit - superb place to relax and unwind, lovely local area with lovely local walks and interesting, scenic towns to visit. Fishing was

hard this time but still managed 5 fish to forty plus, this venue has a lot more to offer than just the fishing which is why we come here....

we will be back again next year.

Mike and Morag Freitas, Bexhill-on-Sea, Sussex UK  25th June 2100  

Our second visit - lovely comfortable gite accommodation, loved the flowers and welcome pack. Weather good, lovely quiet surroundings -

look out for the kingfisher ! Immaculate fish a credit to Jon, the fishing was a little slow but purely down to me and my faulty bait boat. Hope to return again.

Andy and Sue Ruddock, Glos. UK  18th June  2011.

First visit but not the last ! We have had a great week, weather unsettled with thunderstorms at the start of the week. Fishing started off

slow but improved later, only fished 3 hours mornings and 4 hours evenings. The hosts have been great making sure that we had

everything we needed, the gite was super and has everything you could need for a fantastic holiday. Have booked for 2012.

Mark and Julie, Kingsteignton, Devon UK. 11th June 2011.                                

Another week here in paradise ! Brilliant fishing and mint condition carp, thanks again for the lovely hospitality,

fishing advice and tips (listen to Jon he knows his stuff and his fish !)  Once again the gite and its surroundings were pristine, the welcome

pack and flowers a nice touch as always. Can't wait for our return in September. Have re-booked for 2012. Huge thanks again !

 Ken and Rachel, Kings Bromley, Staffs. UK   28th May 2011.

Another delightful week at Les Croix ! we were welcomed as usual and the gite was as always, in pristine condition on arrival.

Throughout the week we were looked after superbly, Jon is always willing to give advice and tips on the fishing, and the delectable

cooking with home produced veg was a delight. The fishing, despite the tough hot conditions and spawning activity was still superb.

Already re-booked for 2012.

Ray and Andy Hassall, New Forest, Hants.  UK 21st May 2011.  

Our second visit and as always we were met with a smile and the hosts are always ready to help. Great accommodation, lovely weather.

Great fishing can't wait for next year !

Keith, Vernon, Val, Steve and Alysha, Taunton Somerset UK. 14th May 2011.

We have enjoyed our stay so much and thank you for all the information on where to visit. Mike and Kev have really enjoyed the fishing and

our son Robert has had a lovely time  especially feeding the animals etc. The gite was very clean and really comfortable.

Mike and Debbie, Kevin and Lynn, Chard, Somerset UK. 7th May 2011.                 

We both had a great week here at Les Croix with fishing beyond belief, accommodation was very good and meals were excellent.

Listen to Jon - his advice will help you to catch more fish. Thank you both very much and have booked again for 2012.
