"What a week. Weather A1+, Lodge top notch, I still can not believe the peace and quiet of it all. The fishing was a bonus. I wish we were staying for 2 weeks instead of one, To Rex and Anne a special couple who make your stay a memory to remember, Thanks to Both"

"Best fishing holiday we have had. Accommodation wonderful, well equipped, comfortable and clean we all had a relaxing holiday in the peace and tranquility."

"Wow What a way to end the year and start a new. First visit, a real home from home. Thanx Anne and Rex for letting us share it with you. Hubby enjoyed the fishing, and was chuffed at catching his first Chub. We will be back"

"What can I add to what as already been written - it’s everything has wonderful as been said, but more. Good “neighbors”-delightful Bar-b-Q's not to mention exceptional fishing, specially the impromptu fishing match. Rex & Anne along with our new made friends have made it a holiday that will be talked about time and time again. It will be remembered as one of the best holidays ever."

"Another fantastic week, our sixth time here and we always have such a wonderful time. We've run out of words to describe how much we love it".

"We thought that Shropshire was a lovely place but this place is paradise! The cabin is so pleasant and the views are stunning."

"A truly fantastic holiday. The lodges are the best accommodation we have had the pleasure to stay in, including Executive villas at Center Parc. Credit to you both. Well done and thank you very much for having us."

"What a wonderful week yet again. Thank you Anne and Rex. Accommodation is a very high standard and did not want to go home".

"Thanks for a wonderful week. We have never had such a peaceful and relaxing holiday. Accommodation is brilliant in such a beautiful setting with such a view."

"We just love it here thanks for the lovely time, great to meet old friends and cant wait to come back next year. I didn't believe it can get any better here, but you keep proving me wrong".

"This must be the best place we have been to for the peace and TRANQUILITY. Love the place to bits, SECOND time for us, wished it was ours. Won't even mention the fishing - to good to be true."

"Perfect weather once again, fishing excellent once again. Rex and Anne thank you for sharing this little piece of heaven with us,
