Well equipped, plenty of space. Top floor with 2 bedrooms and one shower room got very warm during heatwave. All rooms equipped with fans. Large deck space just outside 2 of the 3 ground floor bedrooms with large open plan lounge/diner/kitchen on 1st floor. Close to central facilities and bins/recycling. As pictures show the property is by the side of Clearwater, except there are now loads of rushes/reeds which slightly impede the view.

Overall a great property for a family stay. Very well equipped and comfortable beds. Generally clean, but a few areas could have done with a ‘deep clean’ or are looking a little tired. The interior staircases are quite tricky for older/younger family members, but the stair gates provided would be a big plus for families with young children. Lower Mill Estate is a fabulous place to stay, the spa area is good and the Ballihoo Restaurant is also a great facility. The walking trails are well signposted and maintained.

We booked a family long weekend at Velvet Lodge. Great set up at the house with a big communal dining and living area. On site there are different activities including tennis, swimming, volleyball, soft play and lots of lake activities. Great place for families as all self contained.

We stayed for New Year, the house was cosy, warm and had plenty of space for the 10 of us. Beds were comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed and everyone from ages 4 - 51 enjoyed themselves! The location is lovely and we enjoyed using the spa, pool, gym and little bar around the corner. All in all, it was a lovely stay, I can imagine it is even better in the summertime!
