SOME CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

June 9th-16th, 2007

Hi Wendy,

just a quick email to say how much my brother and I enjoyed our recent stay with you.

We had a fantastic weeks fishing and tried all the lakes over the week.

We never had a weight under 250LBS !! All week and that is probably an under-estimate.

On the final day , we spent it on Middle pool and both of us caught at least 350Lb in just over 7hrs ....a most enjoyable holiday , on a well run . Efficient and professional venue.

A huge pat on the back for your husband David and his team on their friendly and welcome attitude.

And I will certainly recommend your complex to my colleagues in my Fishing Club.

Please feel free to use this testimonial if you wish .

Look forward to booking with you again next year .

Best regards

hi just a quick e-mail to say thank you for a excellent holiday, the fishing was amazing, i had never caught a barbel from a river before until my visit, my first barbel was 12lb and my second was 10lb 3oz. haha how lucky am i my first ever barbel and they were both double figure, i also had one of about 6lb. the lock cut part of the river was also superb, i had about 50lb of bream and a tench in about 3 hours before a huge pike spooked my swim. the carp lakes are really good as well but theres just too many fish in them i was supposed to be relaxing haha, bites were non stop. every stretch of river and every lake is brilliant, superbly run site and fishery. 

thanks again and i hope to see you soon

Sirs,

Some months ago, I asked for your help in identifying a suitable venue for a week's break fishing for Barbel and you pointed me in the direction of Manor Farm Leisure on the Warwickshire Avon in Worcestershire. I and my two companions have just returned from our holiday there and I would just like to say thank you for pointing us in the right direction. We had a superb week in good accommodation, beautiful peaceful surroundings and some superb fishing to boot. I would highly recommend anyone who likes any form of coarse fishing to give Manor Farm a visit, the owners are friendly and helpful and the people of Harvington and nearby Evesham made us feel very welcome.

Thanks once again,

Andy Hill

And here's another!

I am writing to let you know, as promised, how my holiday prize of a week's fishing at Manor Farm Leisure went. Well I can now tell you that I had a fantastic week's fishing, in excellent accommodation. I have included a couple of the photo's I had taken during my stay. (click here to see them)

The first picture is of a 6lb Barbel which was part of my biggest bag for the week which totalled 46lb and included 11 Barbel plus 1 Chub. All fell to legered meat from the same swim.

The other picture is of my biggest Barbel for the week, which weighed 8lb, and is now my new personal best for the Warwickshire Avon. This fell to legered meat on a size 6 Drennan Continental Boilie hook direct to 8lb mainline.

I would not hesitate in recommending Manor Farm Leisure to anyone wanting a coarse fishing holiday in beautifully scenic surroundings, with really excellent fishing. Manor Farm Leisure's appeal is far and wide it really is a fishery to suit all taste's.

I was made very welcome by the owners David & Wendy Byrd who are very friendly and helpful. 

Many thanks for an absolutely fantastic holiday. 

Tight Lines,

Hi David & Wendy,

Just a quick line to thank you both for a very enjoyable few days fishing. The improvements made since our last visit have, in my mind, changed what was a very good site into one of the very best in the country.

Hope to see you again next year, and thank you both once again for making our stay so enjoyable.

Very best wishes,

Mr M & C Rowe

As a committed barbel angler, I have never had a lot to do with commercial fisheries, preferring the solitude of a remote spot on the Severn, Trent or Avon. However, that has changed recently after visiting Manor Farm Leisure at Harvington, near Evesham.

All the lakes fished very well, carp from ozs to 20lb. The 111 pegs on the Avon controlled by MFL contain excellent barbel swims, fallen trees, sunken weirs etc, on the lock cut pegs, although I didn't have time to fish it, I saw a group of huge carp, several were easily 30+.

I would recommend this fishery to anyone. You can even win a few quid, they have matches almost every day! Brilliant for the kids and there's plenty of scenery, history and shopping for those non fishing mums. So, all you anglers out there, give it a go.
