Angling Lines

Quote one Angling Lines venue for one fixed 7-day week: give a venue name or slug, a Saturday arrival date (YYYY-MM-DD) and the party, and get the total price for the whole party for the whole week. Prices come from the live booking engine — the venue price plus the cheapest Channel crossing for the vehicles quoted — and are in GBP. Returns a structured "unavailable" result, not a price, when that week is not free for that party.

List the Channel crossing choices for one trip — venue, Saturday arrival date (YYYY-MM-DD) and party — cheapest first. Each option gives the route, operator, ferry/tunnel type, crossing time, an overnight flag and the TOTAL holiday price with that crossing, plus the outbound/inbound route ids to pass to prepare_booking when the customer picks one. The cheapest option matches the get_quote price. Crossing choice is subject to sailing availability at checkout.

Check swim and accommodation availability for a venue on a specific Saturday date and actual party. Returns free/taken swim numbers, capacities, venue-specific rules and map URL. Golden Carp Lake sells four fixed booking_options, never individual swims: if asked for one swim, explain the full package and obtain customer acceptance before passing booking_option to get_quote, list_crossings or prepare_booking. Never silently expand a single-swim request or increase the party to package capacity. At other swim venues pass chosen swims and accommodation_ids, or allow suitable free defaults. Choices can affect price, so quote the final selection before confirming.

List every bookable Angling Lines carp fishing venue in France, with its headline facts (lake size, swims, capacity, lake record, accommodation), boolean feature flags (dogs_allowed, catfish, pool_or_hot_tub, …) and canonical URLs. The feature keys match the search_venues filter names, so prefer search_venues to filter server-side. Takes no arguments. This is the full catalogue, not an availability check.

Prepare a confirmed trip, including selected swims, accommodation, Golden Carp Lake booking_option and crossing, for the Angling Lines review page. Returns a live total and signed prefill link; creates nothing until the customer opens it. Call after the customer confirms the venue, Saturday date, party and choices. Missing or unavailable choices return a reason to resolve IN CHAT with list_swims/list_crossings; GCL can be booked through chat. Nothing is held or booked until checkout is completed.

Browse the curated venue categories Angling Lines maintains — themed collections such as big carp lakes, family-friendly lakes, lakes with a swimming pool, or lakes close to Calais. Called with no arguments it lists every category with its description and venue count; pass a category slug to get the bookable venues in that category. These lists are hand-picked by Angling Lines, so they cannot be reproduced by filtering on venue attributes.

The tool for "find me a lake": search the Angling Lines catalogue by party size, features and availability, exactly the way the website search does. Every filter is optional — call it with nothing for the whole catalogue, or combine party size ("anglers", "non_anglers"), lake facts ("min_carp_lb", "min_lake_acres") and facilities ("accommodation", "all_inclusive", "meals", "pool_or_hot_tub", "tackle_hire", "catfish", "dogs_allowed", "campervans", "rowing_boats", "bait_boats", "bait_on_site"). Add a Saturday "date" (YYYY-MM-DD) to get real availability plus "alternatives" — venues that match everything but that week, each with the nearest earlier and later free Saturday — or "months" (["YYYY-MM"]) to scan whole months. Narrow to a curated theme with "category", whose slugs come from search_categories.

Check which Angling Lines venues genuinely have space for a party, either on one specific Saturday or across a whole month. Stays are fixed 7-day weeks, so an arrival date must be a Saturday in "YYYY-MM-DD" form; pass "month" as "YYYY-MM" instead to scan a whole month (defaults to the current month). Returns only venues with real availability, each with its free arrival dates and remaining capacity. Use this — not list_venues — whenever the question is about what is free or bookable.
