Situated on the borders of Warwickshire and Leicestershire, Temple Farm dates back to the times of the crusades and is so named because the land on which it stands once belonged to the famous - or infamous - Knights Templar.

Temple Farm is a 48-acre working farm which incorporates Dave's Pool, a delightful and mature acre-and-a-half water which is served by its own car park.

The pool has a central island and is surrounded by even grass banks, which make it suitable for disabled anglers.

The pool has been popular with locals for many years and holds a good head of fish including some nice carp to 32lbs plus some quality roach to about 1lb and bream to 4lbs.

As part of the farm's diversification, owners William and Patricia Chase opened Temple Farm for Bed and Breakfast and provides comfortable and clean farmhouse accommodation tailored to suit guests' individual needs.

The accommodation comprises a twin room with private bathroom and separate shower plus another twin room and a double room each with their own en-suite.

All rooms have digital flat-screen television, Wi-Fi connection and tea and coffee making facilities.

Perhaps more of interest to anglers is that Temple Farm not only has its own delightful pool but that it is also close to some of the area's major venues including Lakeside Fishery; Hopsford Hall; Weston Lawns and Coombe PoolIn addition, it is also within driving distance of several day-ticket venues in Leicestershire.

Because it is a working farm, Temple Farm is also home to an abundance of wildlife and the family's pet labrador Nev.

Situated just 200 yards from two local pubs in the village of Wolvey, Temple Farm and Dave's Pool is ideal for those who enjoy a refresher after a hard day's fishing.

The fishery is also close to several good quality inns which serve a variety of food.
