Great Company with Numerous Options!

I’ve travelled to various locations all over France with Angling Lines since the 1990s. They have always provide a great, flexible and friendly service. Whether you want a runs water, peace and quiet or challenge for that elusive PB. AL have the options and will give a fair assessment of to help you choose your venue.

I've been using Angling lines for over…

I've been using Angling lines for over 10 years, most recently on 12th July. I've never had a bad experience. Staff are always really helpful and friendly on the phone and they understand fishing holidays. They sort your crossing for you so you don't have to worry about anything - except buying more fishing gear!! 100% recommended.

A record breaking week !!

Wally and Helen at Molineaux were perfect hosts on a Great Lake. The domestic facilities were spotless, plenty of hot water for the (Occasional) shower 😂. 5 pegs were fished with two doubles and the carp and Cats were making their appearance. I had a PB at 30lb on the nose and one couple who were targeting the cats had a lake record at 122lbs. It was very hot the week I was there so possibly not the quantity of fish but the quality !! Thanks guys.

Absolutely recommend

Just back from our third family fishing holiday with Angling Lines and we all had a brilliant time!
Their customer service is outstanding. It’s so easy to book online and there’s also friendly, helpful staff if you want to ring and ask a question.
We absolutely recommend Angling Lines and we’re already looking on their website to decide which of their lakes we go to for our next trip.

Brilliant website for anglers

Brilliant website for anglers, easy to book and installment options available. Plenty of lakes to choose from with reviews from each lake , due to personal circumstances I had to cancel a fishing trip and angling lines customer service was so friendly and helpful and accommodated all my wishes.
Will definitely use again and will recommend to friends and family.
My dad has been using angling lines for 13 years, fantastic site!

You can't book a venue unless you use…

You can't book a venue unless you use there transportation be it ferry or train.This is obviously down to the fact you are making excess on the crossings as we have discovered when getting our own prices for crossing.Also if this would not be the case you would offer just a lake price which you don't.Needless to say we have now booked direct with our own crossing at a saving of over 132.00 per person.

Hi Millie

Sorry to read this. Whilst 99% of our bookings include the travel as people tend to find this easiest (benefits include everything being organised for you and ability to make changes at no extra charge), your statement that you cannot book without a crossing is simply untrue - we can and indeed do this for any of our customers no problem.

Usually our package rates are better or the same as public costs as we have contracts with the crossing companies. Occasionally of course they amend their rates and season date pricing but we are constantly checking and updating our costs to account for this. If you'd contacted us we would have looked into it for you.

Equally, it is worth mentioning that as a package holiday provider, your money is kept safe until after the holiday has been taken so if any issues arose your money is protected. Something you do not get when booking direct with a French business. Either way, we wish you a lovely trip and enjoy your fishing!

Not the company it used to be

Really upset with the attitude of Angling Lines. I have booked 13 weeks over 8 years with Angling lines and the latest trip was not a 2 week fishing trip on an exclusive lake but rather the fishing equivalent of 2 weeks in Benidorm. Not happy with the attitude of Angling Lines or their offer of £150 credit in regard to a £2000+ fishing Holiday. Not the company it used to be, lots of other alternatives out there and I am sure they will appreciate my business unlike Angling Lines. In response to your reply, I explained why we did not raise concerns whilst on the holiday. I even sent you photos of the bar/resturant in question to prove the point, but you still take the owners points over that of a loyal customer, and that’s the sticking point here. Yes you have lost a customer and I gave just booked next years two week trip and no surprise, it’s not with angling lines and I still don’t want your £150. You’re not the company you used to be and I find your attitude to be unhelpful. On that point I will leave it there.

Hi Mr Robinson



As we have discussed with you previously, it was a real shame that you did not bring any of your concerns to the attention of the venue owners or ourselves during your two week stay. The venue owners were able to refute the points made and are at a loss to understand why you did not alert them (or Angling Lines) to any concerns you had at the time since they had almost daily contact with you. As far as they were aware you were very happy with your holiday whilst you were there.

We always take complaints very seriously and we assure you that this was fully investigated.



Regardless of the above, we are obviously deeply disappointed that a good customer of ours was not happy with their holiday and so we offered £150 as a gesture of goodwill from us personally at Angling Lines.



We remain really sad that we have lost you as a customer, but genuinely feel there was no more we could do. 



Kind regards

Heather

Angling Lines - Exceptional Service.

I used Angling Lines to book and manage my fishing trip to La Bletieire which I have recently returned from (Apr 2022). From the outset, the Angling Lines team were exceptional in everything they did to support my trip. Their communication was brilliant, the way they managed my booking and my requirements throughout the Covid uncertainty was superb and any changes enforced (owing to Covid and ferry constraints) was quickly communicated and explained. The website is so simple to use and having the Angling Lines team in the 'background' to answer any questions was of great comfort. Angling Lines have a broad range of lakes in their portfolio and cater for any style or lake size (and fish size). I am already planning my 2023 trip and will be using Angling Lines to support that booking. I can highly recommend them.

Lake owners.

As Lake owners who list their Lake with Angling Lines we could not be happier! They are very friendly, professional, nothing is too much trouble and any request is dealt with extremely swiftly. We would not hesitate to recommend Angling Lines to anglers and Lake owners alike. All of our anglers have been delighted with the service they have received and most of them use their services year after year.

Absolute peace of mind when booking a French fishing holiday

I have used Angling Lines for a number of years for fishing trips to France. Their website offers a choice of over 40 French waters that can be hired exclusively or as an individual or small group.
Booking is straight forward, find your chosen lake, select your week and check availability, they even show which weeks are available of your 1st choice isn't.
Costings are shown per person and also include as standard return Dover - Calais crossings. Euro Tunnel and alternative routes are also shown.
Cost can be paid upfront in total or can be spread over several months as long as the total is paid 6 weeks before departure.
Crossing times can be amended at no cost, a very nice touch indeed.
Over the last 2 years they have dealt with a global pandemic and more recently the problems caused by the P&O situation. Thier customer service is exemplary, nothing seems too much trouble, and every last detail is confirmed by email.
I really have no hesitation recommending Angling Lines.
