Tim Watson Venue: Roseau - Small Lake Date of holiday: 11-08-2008 to 18-08-2008
No. of persons fishing: 3 Brief details of your catches: Carp to 30lb. What did you find were the best tactics/baits: Boilie, anything else caught bream.
Were the facilities what you expected? Worse Were you happy with them? No. Lunch not available & bar not available. Christophe has bought a local restaurant & so is never at the fishing venue, he doesn't even keep to the hours on the bar that he advertises.
Would you recommend the venue to a friend? No
Would you recommend our services to a friend? Have used you every year since 2003 & now thinking of using alternative as Gareth was rude & unhelpful when we phoned from France.
General comments: The bar & restaurant is not a bar or restaurant, it is dirty & does not provide good food - unless you are happy with a piece of meat & some chips. Christophe is still a nice chap but clearly has his priorities on the restaurant, he simply is not there.
We also had lots of people walking around the lake that we hired privately at all times of night & even had strange people approach after midnight.
The venue is completely different from Sept 2007, fishing is good but should really be advertised differently. The bar does not exist except for about 1 hour a day when Christophe decides. Completely ruined our holiday. No restaurant at lunch time either.
Due to the above & Christophe going on holiday for Thursday & Friday of our week & that it was a bank holiday in France & everything being shut, we had only food from a can most days. Won't be back & that makes me sad as I have had great holidays there over the years!

General comments: the bar was only open for two hours a day.christophe don't speak good english so getting any info was a struggle.I will say the food package isn't to great a bit hit and miss. we was pretty hungry most of the time.If you are fusy eater use the supermarket a mile down the road.The new shower blocks are great.Nice and clean and refreshing.The carp had spawned the week before we got there so we done well considering. The weather was scorching in the day so no runs in the day only runs at night and early morn.So a cold beer would've been nice in the day.Not alot of sleep but you sleep when you dead.
