I have never known in all my years of carp fishing, for a lake to let you down, move you to a different pond with a promised peg and then let you down again !!!!
I'm pleased I am not the only one they did it too. Many fellow carp anglers were furious.
Then the man expected me to leave early !!!!! 6 hours in total !!!!!
Really bad Blazay attitude would rather be sat drinking cider and letting people get away with murder !!!!
and the website and other sites advertising emmotland show a totally different picture to the real facilities !!!!! A picture or a normal well stocked tackle shop appears on the site
However when you get there you find an empty cluttered rubbish bin, god only knows what happened to the stock on the pictures,
It has rubbish piled high when you walk thru the door which is a health and safety issue.
A cafe is advertised with breakfast and evening meals !!!!!
Well there wasnt one there at all !!!
I did see a dirty old burger van with the door open !!!!
But thank god it wasnt open for business
The toilets are the worst ever the men's in fairness were ok atleast they appeared to of seen a cleaner and a bloo lol but the women's were a discrace !!!!
I always take my wife when we go away fishing and have been to many a lake with no facilities come home wrote them fab reviews.
Been to a few with only a port a loo like carp vale doubles recently acquired a port a loo and it is always clean or gets cleaned daily.
My partner loves it and manages fine.
I wanted to take her somewhere with a little bit more than the norm ie a shower
And came accross emmotland only a 3 hour drive
They boasted about toilets shower block and a cafe so I thought great.
Told her not to buy food as she usually brings all kinds
How pleased I am she packed steaks etc and took no notice of me !!!!
Anyway I booked pond 2 for a 48 hour session and 2 days before we were due to go, I got a call saying pond 2 ha been fully booked and I now don't have a peg !!!! I was furious but the chap said pond 1 was just as good and he would put me on peg 1 the best one according to him.
I wasn't happy as I knew pond 1 was alot harder but thought the rewards would he worth it if I caught.
We got there and as soon as we walked in the shop and saw how different it was I wasn't to sure
It was just rotten and filthy
Full of empty cider cans
The man Jamie said he was the owner and was in the process of living in the horrid caravan out the side whilst his new house was been built !!!!
He proceeded to show my wife the ladies toilets
I went in the men's and thought they were terrible but it was a carp lake not the hylton.
My wife's face said it all and I popped my head in to see the woman' in a much worse state
Disgusting mouldy filthy floor
Shower with pink curtain with mould everywhere
We have lots of photos too !!!!!
2 toilets with no divider or doors
One without a seat and they were filthy brown !!!
She said she would use the outdoors
We were then showed to peg 2 an he said sorry il have to put you on here and I thought this adds insult to injury
Another lad came really upset
Saying he had booked 48 hours took the time off an travelled 2 hours and was told he could stay until 11am the following morning
Which gave him less than 24 !!!!
He was furious !!!!
Sunday came and we were due off at 5pm
It was 9am and I was told we had to leave as the lad was on his way for the peg
I was furious and due to this would never go back
I am pleased my mrs packed our food otherwise we would have been sunk
I don't think its right that they advertise what they don't have !!!!
We can manage great without facilities and have for
But when you are told sonwhere has them and they don't
Its one big let down
I think the man who pretended to own the place and says his house is been built is indeed the bailiff and the worst one at that
He don't do one round in all the time I was there
And I was told he never does
Doesn't care
I found loads of lethal rigs on my swim
It disgusts me that people use them
But isn't that his job ?
Terrible place and I am sure il stick to welham in future
