Absolutely lovely place to stay, so pleasant and peaceful, but lots of watersports and swimming for the kids so they were tired out and happy and the adults got peace and were happy!

We had a lovely weekend with friends . The house was fully equipped - beds comfy and plenty of room to accommodate us all easily.
We used the swimming pool indoor and outdoor and hired paddle boards. Perfect weekend break with all the amenities you need on site.

Property was as advertised and in a lovely setting.
The only problem we found was actually finding the property as the signage was small and the directions/map not very helpful.
Nevertheless we enjoyed ourselves

We had a great stay, thank you. Lovely house in beautiful surroundings and lots to see and do onsite and nearby. Highly recommend!

The house was well equipped and well appointed. More than adequate for our stay. Bedrooms lovely sizes with comfy beds and lovely white linen. Downstairs was a little tight. Roomy sitting and dining area but could have done with boot/shoe space and somewhere to hang winter coats downstairs….…we used downstairs toilet as a storage space for shoes etc. Very well equipped kitchen with plenty of crockery, glasses and cutlery but no space for food storage. Overall, none of the shortfalls detracted from a great few days and yes we would visit again.

We stayed for 3 nights over new year and had a fantastic time. We were 2 families of 4 and the room layout worked perfectly. Beautiful views over the lake and the use of the pool was a great addition to the stay. Would highly recommend. Thank you 😊

The house was lovely, clean and comfortable. Great communication from the property manager- the location is beautiful and facilities were just what we were looking for, including the on site spa and restaurant. Great walks from the house and we found a lovely local pub within walking distance. We'd love to come back

Property was really clean. It rained the whole time so we spent a lot of time indoors and the sofas could do with being better and more comfy but the beds were great and I imagine on a sunny weekend it’s a really lovely spot.

Superb Holiday Cottage
Our experience was faultless from booking to departure. This is an excellent property, equipped with everything you need and is set in a beautiful, tranquil location. We visited with family, friends and the dog, everyone loved the place with our friends booking to return twice later this year with their family !! We have also subsequently rebooked, the place is that good. I would honestly 100% recommend this holiday home to everyone. Your relaxation will start the minute you walk through the door.

Beautiful pet friendly accommodation
We have stayed at the Lower Mill Estate many times since it first opened, having tried the majority of the different properties we have stayed the last few times at 48 Howells Mere. This property is extremely well maintained and is equipped with everything that you need. We have stayed there with family and friends, each occasion has been excellent. It is positioned in the quieter side of the LM Estate making your stay totally relaxing. I would 100% recommend this property to everyone.

Wow! Little piece of heaven. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
We highly recommend this company and property. From the initial enquiry to the follow up after our visit, communication was spot on. They answered all our questions promptly.
Upon arrival we were amazed by the entire lower mill estate. So clean and tidy.
Then we got to 48 Howells mere and all I can say is WOW! The house is amazing. Spotlessly clean and comfy and all our needs were met and more. Room for all and never felt squished in. We had a visit from a rep from the holiday company who was polite and informative.
Beautiful views with a lovely terrace to enjoy a cup of coffee on in the morning. It is so peaceful. The play area was enjoyed by our younger members of the party and we was able to enjoy a nice drink from the balihoo. The inclusive use of indoor and outdoor spa went down a treat for all of us.
Will definitely be back!!
Thank you
