8/10 Good

Was a lovely stay

We had a lovely family break. Lovely peaceful location. Our house was lovely, in both bathrooms there was hairs on the floor and spiders in every room and up the stairs. Kitchen facilities were great. Lovely for a mini break, did feel around the grounds could have been better sign posted so get around and also thought it was limited with just one place to eat or drink.

An ideal place to stay

This was our second stay on the Lower Mill site. It still proves to be a lovely location. Indian Summer exceeded our expectations. Although the photos suggest it has been "squeezed in" between other properties, there is no sense of this once inside. It is spacious, with lovely views. I suspect that in summer , it will be lovely to sit outside. The property provided an ideal base for a week's worth of walks in the Cotswolds. And it was (almost) a pleasure to run along the Thames each morning for my 5K run. Highly recommended.

10/10 Excellent

Fabulous location for a relaxing leisure break.

We had a lovely 5 day break at this fabulous property overlooking Howells mere lake. The property was high end and very comfortable throughout. The kitchen was well stocked to meet all our needs. We enjoyed it that much that we booked to return in September. Highly recommended.
