CUCKOO LAKE, is a three and a half acre lake set within a aprox 40 acre forest planted in Norwegion Pine with aprox 500,000 trees that forms part of the ancient forest of Double. Here you feel as though you have stepped back in time by at least 40 years! You will certainly hear, and if lucky, see the varied wildlife of France at its most natural - wild stags are often heard calling and eagles circle the lake. Althougfh the location of the venue is very rural, it is only 3 minutes drive to the nearest village with bar, restaurant and a shop. A 10 minute drive will bring you to the larger town of St. Aulaye with supermarkets, bar / restaurant, bank, pharmacy etc.
The facilities on this venue are basic, but comfortable, and include a self contained lakeside cabin. This is a 'drive and survive' style destination. The facilities in the cabin are as follows:
- Solar panel for lighting
- Rain water collected for washing
- Calor gas for water heating, fridge and 2 ring gas hob
- Chemical/compost toilet
- There is no electricity or mains services on site There is a BBQ hut.
- The lake is well stocked, fish range from the largest resident around the 50lb mark with at least 3 other known good 40's. There are plenty of backup 20 and 30lbs fish. One angler caught over 20 fish in a day, so action can sometimes be hectic here!!!
