T.K.P. Telford Koi Pond - Video 162 - Road Trip to Absolute Koi & FREE Giveaway

For our final dealer visit of our road trip we went to Absolute Koi in Retford.
In a word……..WOW!
Darren and Donna were great hosts and they even gave us some goodies to give-away as prizes on our next “Only Fins Group” live (or perhaps even sooner if you watch to the very end of this video).
Take a look to see all the koi that took my breath away and the koi I would have bought if it wasn’t already sold (yes, I am still crying on the inside).
I’m already planning a return visit so see what you think.

Honestly - the place was incredible! I’m still saying wow now!

[@TelfordKoiPond]

It was good wasn’t it Dave👍. Great day and great final visit👍

[@Garykoi625]

Enjoyed that very much mate 👍 Me and my wife went there a month ago.Very impressed, and it is so clean. I think Donna said the chagoi was her fish monster fish.😮 🐟

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Thank you Gary👍. Yes the chag is Donna’s and definitely not for sale (despite being offered over £10k - so I have been told). Definitely a place I will be returning to😊👍

[@samhirschfield853]

Hi Phil, looked like a cracking day out, I wish I was there. I counted 55272 wows and 12738.52 beautifuls 😎

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Oh Sam, so close…just 1 wow and 2 beautiful short🤣😂🤣😂👍

[@raysharman7162]

Great vid Phil. Before you even said it, I did think that the neatness of the installations were a bit of you for sure mate. Very impressive 👍

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Thank you Ray😊. It is an exceptional set up and the quality of the koi was really high, I’m already looking forward to planning a return visit👍

[@KoiPondLifestyle]

Really enjoyed your series of visit videos... Those larger fish were to dream for.. 😉👍

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Thank you sir, much appreciated. Really appreciate you watching 😊👍

[@reece2479]

7 wow and 4 beautiful. I need to take a trip there sooon, some of those Showa are incredible!

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Correct with the answers but unfortunately a couple of other people beat you to it, maybe next time👍. Definitely worth a trip😊👍

[@stewartwalters7028]

9 wows 9 beautiful I’m probably wrong I was more interested in looking at the fish than listening to what you was saying lol brilliant video Phil as always

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Thank you for your kind words Stewart , your feedback is appreciated 😊👍.

[@westbromkoi]

They look like some of the best koi I've seen on sale in a shop Phil 👌🏼

[@TelfordKoiPond]

They were amazing Pete, definitely a high quality dealership 😊👍

[@DerbyKoi]

Another great dealer visit Phil It looked a great place with some stunning fish. Jobs a goodun 👍

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Thank you Andy👍. I’ve said it before but I always appreciate you watching and commenting on my videos😊👍

[@iankey9664]

Nice video Phil. I live 30 mins away from Absolute koi. As its been said Darren, Donna and Ben are very welcoming and very knowledgeable. Purchased a Karashigoi last year and its doing very well. Always at the front of the queue at feeding time. The place is always spotless and quarantine regime is second to none. Would not hesitate in buying from them again. When I've saved enough that is. Keep up the good work Phill.

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Thank you for watching and commenting, much appreciated 😊. I was very impressed by everything I saw so despite the journey for me, I am already planning a return trip 😊👍

[@iankey9664]

@@TelfordKoiPond An incredible place to view stunning koi. Videos do not do them justice. They are so much bigger in real life. That Chagoi and Yamabuki ogon are huge. Enjoy your next visit.

[@scrag68]

Holey Smoke Batman Powwwww 😂 another cracking visit great coverage again Phil, I think your going to need a bigger pond who needs flowers and plants anyway, 🤔😜🤣🙏👍

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Agreed, if you wouldn’t mind having a work with Clare it would be appreciated 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@anthonyjackson4034]

Well done Phil. Your videos are good but this is your best by far. Your wows are so genuine. What a great place. Going to go there from London and have a holiday for a few days. Darren's water quality looks like RO. Did you talk to him about the protein skimmer?

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Thank you Anthony, your comments are very much appreciated 😊👍. Didn’t speak about the protein skimmer as talking about the koi took up all the time we had. I’m already looking forward to a return visit👍

[@simondane3873]

Great looking place & awesome video as always. 4 beautiful & 7 wow. Keep the quality videos coming Phil 😎

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Thank you Simon👍. Your counts are correct but unfortunately 2 others beat you to it. There will be more giveaways coming soon👍

[@wadskoi7601]

Don’t know where I’ll put them but I’ll take them all 🐟👍🏻🐟 :-) some stunning koi mate

[@wadskoi7601]

Had to go back and count lol I think 7 mate 🐟👍🏻🐟

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Absolutely agree, if I could transplant the contents of any of the ponds into mine, I would be in heaven😊. Someone beat you to the count but you were right with 7 wows😊👍

[@user-Paul1958]

Absolutely sublime Shiro's - such contrast between colours, whites actually glow! Brilliant. Thanks for showing them to us.

[@masplen]

A really good video about Absolute Koi. I can confirm that they are really good in their product supplies and service, and general advice from Darren, Donna and their team is always excellant. I use them as my prefered dealer and I live in Cambridge, and if I ever get the chance to just pop in and look at the Koi on show then I do. Definitely recommend a visit.

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Thank you for watching and commenting, it is appreciated 👍. I was extremely impressed by the place and the team so they have a new customer as I can’t wait to go back and spend more time there😊👍

[@shaunleonard8146]

Hi Phil, I heard some were that , The Chag is Donna's and some one offered her £10.000 for it, And she didn't even bat an eye lid.

[@TelfordKoiPond]

Hi Shaun, I believe you are correct. Donna said very firmly that the chag is not for sale. It is a heck of an impressive beast😳👍

[@StokeKoiAdventures]

Looked stunning place. Stunning fish
