You can go for a walk or ride a bicycle around the deserted country lanes or just relax on your holiday by the 5 meter diameter round swimming pool while the food cooks on the bbq.
The holiday accommodation (chalet & fishing lodge) are only 10 minutes from Dax by car (a beautiful market town renowned for its hot water springs and healing mud) & the famous Lac du Christus (one of the most beautiful fishing lakes in France) with its monster carp , pike , zander and black bass.

Second visit to Smallwaters and just as good as the first, the chalet has everything you need for a relaxing home away from home - including dishwasher, washing machine and bbq plus a pool! The lake - and the fishing - is first class, and if hired along with the lodge, is fantastic for an extended family break. Shane and Rula are so friendly and helpful and help with anything, fishing related or just in general ie days out, shops in the area etc. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Very enjoyable week fishing very good considering the hot weather very pleasant and helpful hosts. All round excellent facilities.

The stay was wonderful and catered for our varied mixed age group perfectly. Shane and Rula were lovely and Taylor became very popular with our younger ones. First class. Far better than the photos on the website I don’t think they do the place justice at all.
Very happy and hope to return

Matt & Dawn

Me and my partner, loved our stay here, it was truly beautiful, peaceful and everything we hoped and more, the facilities were very good, everything you would ever need to get by for a week or more.
The fishing was a lot of fun, you have to get through the smaller ones, but all in all we got some fair size carp out of the lakes, was a lot of fun.
We would defiantly return here and highly recommend to others.
Rula was very helpful and friendly, and we loved the little visit each day from buster the dog who would come and say hi to us whilst chilling by the lake and chalet.
Thank you again Shane and rula, we loved every minute of it.
Tim & vicki :)

My son and i had a really nice relaxing time. the lakes are in a lovely setting. We fished for five days catching appx 40 fish of all sizes. although we did not catch the largest fish in the lake my son managed to catch one over 22 pound.
i would recommend this to anyone who is thinking of a relaxing trip/fishing or otherwise. Shane and Rula are very friendly couple and also the nice old dog buster greats you as you arrive.
