We had our first trip to Oakview last summer and just like every other newcomer, on our return to England, set about booking our return. Oakview has that affect on you, the lake is stunning and stocked with quality fish. Every fish caught was in superb condition. As for our hosts (Martin and Shirley) you could not ask for nicer people! They are never intrusive, leaving you to the exclusivity of the lake but are always on hand if needed or required. We don't just look at them as lake owners, but as friends!

The accommodation at Oakview can only be described as SUPERB! Far superior to what you would expect from lesser fisheries (all mod cons and top quality as always) The amenities and surroundings are kept in top condition allowing those with mobility issues to access all of the venue.

Our trip this year was hampered by poor weather (hot/cold/wind and rain) affecting our total catch. We are already booked for our return later in the year and probably next year, as you see Oakview becomes ADDICTIVE! 20 carp total including 15 x 20's to 29lb 8oz and 5 x Doubles.
