A fantastic half term break with teens!
4.7*
We stayed for a long weekend and the property and found it well equipped, comfortable and a perfect configuration for our group.
Flexibility on the bed arrangements with twins being available was really useful, well finished bathrooms, a lovely log burner with logs, fab hot tub on the roof terrace, great views of the lake with a peaceful view of the wild fowl from the big windows meant we could have a really relaxing time.

Just Wonderful
5.0*
We have stayed in many properties at Lower Mill and this is by far the best! So well equipped, beautifully decorated and conveniently located within the estate. My only note to people with children is that there is no barrier between the patio decking and the lake. If the French doors are open then the open water is literally metres away. It’s not a negative at all but just something to be aware of if travelling with small children. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would definitely return!
