Set in the countryside but with easy access to the local village and pub. It is 10 minutes drive to Banbury and there is a local reliable hourly bus service that takes you into the centre of Banbury via a major retail park. We were made fo feel very welcome by the owner Brendan and had a few wonderful chats with James a caretaker. The fishing was very good with a nice variety of carp, roach and many tench. My biggest compliment to the place is that we are already planning to return.
