smufter Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) A long way away, but the best places get booked up very early. Having a look at this place, gets very good reviews, good facilities and a decent head of carp to 67lb. http://www.estatelake.com/en/home/ Looking at early May 2020, price of a lake exclusive is £2,100.00 drive 'n survive. Should be early enough to avoid spawning, but late enough to get a decent amount of daylight hours and temps. It "could" be munch time lol!! Apparently can take up to 9 anglers so that would work out at a paltry £233.00 each. Looks idyllic. Anyone fancy it (in principle)??????

I've also got one other who PM'd me from here interested and a couple of mates of mine. Despite the lake advertising the fact that they can take 9 on a lake exclusive, after emailing the owners I reckon 8 would be better to give ourselves a little more room. So that works out at £263.75 each. The week I am talking about is from Saturday 9th May (2020!!). I have asked the owners to "reserve" that week for me for a couple of months to confirm names and pull in the required deposit (50%).

chillfactor Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 I reckon I could be up for this mate ... some big commons to try for & looks a nice venue . 20 acres & 9 anglers works out about right , good bit of water each but not to far away from everyone for the social side of things 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smufter Posted May 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) Well I've got 4 definites so far, including myself That's NOT including anybody that has commented on here by the way Edited May 7, 2018 by smufter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillfactor Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Missed the bit where you said 8 anglers would be better .... probably a good shout. Take a deposit off everyone early next year who's keen . Then a final payment when the venue needs paying for in full . I don't think your be short of takers closer to the time anyway . But pencil me in if you would Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But pencil me in if you would I would do mate, but the venue are pushing for a 50% deposit to reserve asap, despite the fact we are two years away! So £1,050.00 required immediately, which is putting me off a little if I'm honest. I have booked Lake Beauregard for myself and five mates from White Cottage for July 2019. Despite all six of us being prepared to pay the deposit when I booked it (November last year) the owner said he doesn't want it until a year before the trip, which has given us plenty of time to arrange things and we've got a meeting planned for 23rd June when I can collect the monies. And he only wants £100.00 per person, not 50% of the holiday cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for letting me know mate, but I don't think I'll be booking this now, purely based on the deposit they are asking for just to "hold" the week. I've asked if they will take a smaller deposit for the time being as a sign of good faith, but they want the whole £1,050.00 which I'm not prepared to shell out this far in advance. Most places I know would "pencil" a name in for a few weeks/couple of months to give you a proper chance to organise things, especially this far ahead of a planned trip. A lot can happen in two years!! cloud9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
