Hi Carol and Jolyon First may I say what a fantastic setup you have at Villa pond, I was on the verge of giving up fishing until you opened last year. I had forgotten how it could be such a pleasureable and exciting sport.
Yesterday (18/8) I was trying to enjoy a days fishing but felt a bit unwell, your concern and of course landing a nine pounder cheered me up no end, but most of all, a young angler and his Dad had some bad news and had to pack up, without hesitation Jolyon refunded his fees,to me that was a superb jesture and deserved recognition, Jolyon was very embarassed when I mentioned it, but it put my faith back into the human race.
10/10 for both of you, keep up the good work and I will still keep looking for the “big-un ”
Regards Ray Grosvenor

i strongly encourage anyone to fish here. the owners are very friendly and will always try to help you out. if your after a nice days fishing, quality hard-fighting fish, nice surroundings and a lake that fishes well in winter, then this is the place to be.

Dave alan.
I have been fishing this venue for four years, and since the new owners have taken over I have seen much improvement, previously I have seen youths coming onto the pond in between inspections, fishing floating bread, no landing nets just dragging the fish up the bank not paying, and dashing off again I approached them myself but got swore at.
Now the pond is patrolled regularly, making it a safe environment for the angler and the fish,
I have netted 30 to 60 lbs of fish on a good day and all those caught were in pristine condition.
Congratulations and keep up the good work..

Thank you for your kind comments. Over the winter period we planted about 150 trees. We have two rows to the West and one on the East. They are Italian Alder which grow quite quickly and retain their leaves quite a long time into late autumn. I am afraid that you will not see any benefit for a couple of years but eventually they will look really good and will form a wind and noise break. They have been planted far enough back so they will not interfere with the fishing or shed their leaves in the water.
We are very proud of the condition of the fish and you may have noticed that we have introduced an extra rule about how the fish are handled.
We hope that you continue to enjoy your fishing at Villa Pond.
