It’s a shame. The accommodation is perfect. Spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Gorgeous view. Seriously lovely house. Unfortunately the estate it’s part of has fallen foul of over building without keeping up the facilities. There are 4 times too many people on site for the facilities. The courts and pool are overbooked every day within minutes of the slot going live. The pool changing rooms are packed and chaotic. The only on site restaurant is overbooked and understaffed. There are absolutely no organised activities. Not even a simple football game.

Another fantastic stay

This is the second time we've stayed at this property as we loved it so much the first time. We had dreadful weather but didn't mind as the views over the lake are just so gorgeous. Looking forward to going back again next year.

Nice property, well kitted out. We had a lovely time. Only real downside is the sheer number of properties on the estate and the closeness of them all.

Family getaway

Return journey to this property and again had a wonderful stay. Extra little touches updated since previous stay shows the level of detail and pride of the property is being maintained throughout. Love the new jetty has made it easier to enter the water. Family stay with ages from 23 - 84 catered for.

We had a great time here and would happily come back again. Everything was as described. The top bedroom was spacious and very comfortable. Only complaint from the family was that there was no mirror in their bedroom.

Excellent short break

Property and location were excellent. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Easy booking in and good clear instructions provided. Just a few improvements could be made to improve the experience even more. Better signage and lighting around the site is needed. It was difficult to find the property upon arrival. Not all locations seem to appear on the signs and poor lighting in general around the site made it difficult when unloading/loading or getting around in general. The lounge furniture (sofas in particular) need to be replaced. They were incredibly uncomfortable and very low. Also although we didn’t use them the outside cushions also need replacing. Finally a wardrobe is needed in the master bedroom as the rail provided is inadequate. Mirrors are also needed in the bedrooms. In all other respects the house was excellent and worked very well with 7 people staying there.

Peaceful and relaxing

The property was in great order, lots of room for us all and space for the baby's things. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped; and there was room for everyone to help when preparing meals. Netflix did not work but we played games and enjoyed the surroundings. Finding the nearest bin/recycling area was a problem; the location description was inaccurate but we eventually found it.

Fabulous family getaway

I can’t recommend this place high enough. Lake house was clean/well equipped kitchen. The only thing I’d say is the top floor bedroom could do with some black out blinds. Facilities at Lower Mill are fantastic. I’d highly recommend Shirry, private chef higher. 5* service that made our break extra special. It’s well planned out for young families, the parks are lovely. The Balihoo restaurant was fab for breaky, can’t fault the service. The area is lovely, lots to walk to. Would deffo come back. Thank you.

Weekend at Lower Mill Estate

Perfect place for an active weekend in the Cotswolds. The property has beautiful over the lake and is well furnished. We played tennis, football and went canoeing. Interaction with owners / agent was very good with accurate, timely and helpful information provided.
