A huge amount of time, effort and money has been spent to make sure we have some of the best Carp Fishing in France today. It isn’t an accident we have some very big Carp in Forest View Lake and they do so well here, this is due to the quality of the water and the care we take. You have a significant part to play in maintaining this situation and we ask that you take great care of yourselves and of the fish and their habitat as well as the surrounding woodland. Thank you very much for your support.

Following receipt of your booking form we will send you a confirmation and a detailed invoice setting out the full cost including any extras

requested. The holiday and due dates for payment will be detailed on the invoice.

1. The Deposit and Balance of your holiday rental must be paid by BACS to the Bank Account for Forest View. The payment will be calculated in Sterling. Full payment details will be set out on the invoice.

4. An accidental damage deposit of £50 per angler/guest for the lodge will be taken on your arrival and further security deposits are payable if you hire equipment. Please ensure you have sufficient funds available to avoid an unnecessary trip to a local Bank. We will confirm the total amount required when talking with you prior to your arrival. On your departure all security deposits will be refunded in full subject to no damages being incurred. Deductions will be made for breakages and damage as well as litter clearance and any other unforeseen expense due to carelessness or accident.

8. Should you need to change the date of your holiday week to an alternative available week you must inform us in writing within 10 weeks of your arrival date. Wherever possible we will make the necessary arrangements and confirm in writing to you. The revised dates have NOT been confirmed until you have received in writing our confirmation and there will be a small administration charge of £25 in these circumstances. Dates can only be changed once.

20. Alcohol – Take great care and note the following - Alcohol often contributes to drowning. It impairs judgement, encourages greater risk taking behaviour, reduces coordination, impairs reaction time and reduces the effectiveness of CPR, should someone require it. On average, approximately 25% of adult drowning deaths each year involve alcohol, with 44% of these occurring near rivers, creeks and streams. A further 9% of these occur in lakes, dams and lagoons.
