Manor Fisheries is changing hands.
After 14+ wonderful years residing at Manor Fisheries and now being in my 81st year, we will be leaving for pastures new on the 25th September. Only the ownership is changing, and all the fishery/accommodation will continue running closely along the present lines with every reservation being honoured.
Over the past years we have enjoyed meeting hundreds of visitors and many have become friends that we always look forward to meeting. Our sincere thanks to all those that have visited, helped with Work Parties and supported Manor Fisheries to create an enjoyable and friendly environment.
Our retirement is approaching soon when we can spend more time with family and travelling. In addition, Rhonda is looking forward to playing more music while I can plan to fish a little more often.
Message from the new Owners:
"The new owners of Manor Fisheries are looking forward to their new venture, excited to carry forward the legacy and reputation built over the years and they will be getting in touch with further updates in the coming weeks."
