点评:The team at Kinglakes are the best in the business; very friendly and helpful.
The Willow lodge has a lovely view of the hills and lakes; the wife liked it so much we have booked a similar lodge for next year.
It has a very spacious living area, well suited for 4 adults.
The two bedrooms, both have an on-suite, plenty of storage and very comfortable beds.
The lodge was very clean and tidy; as with the whole site, it is well maintained.
I treated myself to a 12 hour session on the specimen lake Kestrel, so before fishing it I picked the brains of Andrew and Jeff on what the fish have been caught on and feeding.
This helped me land a 39lb 15oz 14d mirror carp (not quite a 40 but there's always next year) early in the session and within the last hour to end the session with a 30lb mirror carp. Even though it was a wet and windy day this is a real red letter day for me.
I fished the other lakes at the venue and enjoyed some very good catches of tench and silvers.
All the lakes are well looked after with plenty of swims to choose from.
My wife joined me at one of lakes and realised why I enjoy fishing so much; the piece and quiet, a place to relax and just watch the world go by.
The restaurant/bar served it's wonderful food, I never left the table feeling hungry; just the opposite.
When I was not fishing, me and the wife left the site and visited areas within Devon and Cornwall; as there is plenty to do within a short drive.

Willow Lodge的窗外便是美丽的山丘与湖泊景色;我的妻子非常喜欢这里,以至于我们已预订了明年入住的同类型木屋。
木屋内的起居空间极为宽敞,非常适合四位成年人居住。
两间卧室均配有独立浴室、充足的储物空间以及极其舒适的床铺。
整个木屋干净整洁;整个度假区也同样维护得很好。我特意安排了一次长达12小时的垂钓之旅,地点就是凯斯特尔测试湖。在下竿之前,我向安德鲁和杰夫请教了关于这里的鱼喜欢吃什么饵料以及它们的习性。这让我在垂钓初期就成功钓到了一条重达39磅15盎司的镜鲤(虽然没达到40磅,不过明年还有机会)。而在垂钓即将结束的最后一小时里,我又钓到了一条30磅重的镜鲤。尽管当天阴雨连绵且风很大,但对我而言这仍是难忘的一天。我在场地的其他几个湖边垂钓,收获了不少很好的战果——钓到了许多丁鱥和银鱼。
所有的湖泊都维护得很好,可供选择的垂钓点也很多。
我的妻子也来其中一个湖边陪我,她这才明白我为何如此喜欢钓鱼:那里宁静安详,是个可以放松身心、静观世事的地方。
餐厅/酒吧提供的食物也极其美味,我在餐桌上从不会感到饥饿,恰恰相反。
不钓鱼的时候,我……我和妻子离开了营地,游览了德文郡和康沃尔郡的诸多景点;因为开车不远就能看到很多值得一游的地方。
