Owned and managed by Val and Colin Meneaud,
who live on site, Sweet Chestnut
Lake is located in the beautiful
Northern Dordogne countryside, just 3 km's from Saint Saud
Lacoussiere.
In carp angling terms we are a 'Fly and
Survive' or 'Drive and Survive', a new venue for 2007 with excellent
facilities.
Our 4 acre lake is situated in an attractive
setting. Surrounded on all sides by trees and with a well maintained
grass bank on one side, level with the water's edge, ideal for fishing
from.
The
lake was stocked 3 times during the winter of 2006/2007. In total 50
Carp over 20lb were introduced, including several 30's
and
one fish over 40lb. The new carp have gained weight rapidly and we now
have several 40's and numerous 30's. We also have some catfish in the
lake, the biggest is now well over 50lb and we have others not far
behind in weight. The lake is also home to about 150 Original Carp,
these are mainly double-figure fish with some 20's, but there could be
some surprises.
The facilities at
Sweet Chestnut Lake are excellent and are of course exclusive
to parties that book with us.
We
offer a recently refurbished apartment contained in the main house and
above our own accommodation, right on the edge of the lake. Total
privacy is maintained as access is by way of an external stairway with
small viewing balcony. Decorated to a high standard the self contained
apartment boasts brand new kitchen and bathroom.
The toilet, walk in shower and large wash
basin have just been installed complete with fresh white wall tiles.
There is also a large living/dining area with 3 seater sofa and dining
table with chairs.
Outside the apartment, we provide table,
chairs and parasol, ideal for sitting out and relaxing, and also a new
stone barbeque. Below this accessed by natural steps, on the lakes edge,
is a hard standing which can also be used, you can even fish from
here if you like.
We
can provide all the large items of carp fishing equipment, which were
new in 2007, and this is included in our prices.
This makes us very attractive to
customers, who wish to take advantage of the amazing low cost flights by
Ryanair to Limoges.
Our venue is just a leisurely 40 minute
drive away in the beautiful Parc Naturel Regional Perigord-Limousin.
Delicious freshly cooked meals are available
and anglers may decide to book the food package for the week. Meals can
be delivered to your swim or served in the apartment.
We are happy to cater for any angler's needs
and provide as much or as little attention as you require.
