Excellent stay in a beautiful location with plenty to do. The place was spotless and had everything and more. Down to a garlic press for delicious home made meals and a milk frother for morning cafe on the roof terrace. Comfortable beds, hot showers, washing machine and dryer for those wet swimwear after a swim on one of two pools.We were a group of 9 women celebrating my birthday snd we had just the best time. Could not fault it.

Great stay

We had a fantastic stay at 3 Water Garden. We were 5 friends from uni (in our 40s), coming from all different parts of the country. The set-up of the house worked really well for us and is very well equipped. Everything was super clean, the showers were really powerful and the beds comfy.

Family Break for Easter

Water Garden 3 was a lovely property, it's was very clean and the room set up was perfect for group that we had - having visited Lower Mill Estate 4 times over the last 8 years we knew it would be a fantastic experience but the location of the property was perfect for access to the pool and play area for the children. We would definitely stay again - Thank you. Nick & Sinead

Blown away by Water Garden 3

Our family had an amazing weekend at Water Garden 3, Lower Mill Estate. The weather was on our side, so this certainly helped, but even if it had not have been, we would still have had a pleasant stay. The house itself is incredible, like something from Grand Designs. From the high-end furnishing to the well equipped kitchen, we could not have asked for more. The kids are already asking about our return trip!

1st Class

This was our 6th stay at Lower Mill estate and I think this was my favorite property. We are a family of 5 and also took our parents so 7 people in total- The property is finished to a high standard and everything felt quality. Plenty of space for everyone and the Roof top terrace/garden was fantastic as we had great weather- A real sun trap. The hosts have thought of everything for a family stay and everything was in good/great condition. Thank you so much, we shall be looking to stay with you again.

You must have fun!

We had a lovely weekend but felt that the rules were communicated quite forcefully - they didn’t feel particularly welcoming. We struggled to find our accommodation & ended up on a building site! Perhaps better signage / directions could be provided? Other than this we thought the accommodation was excellent & enabled us the spend quality time as a family celebrating two birthdays & a wedding anniversary in lovely surroundings.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 Sept, 2022
Thank you so much for your review, we are delighted that you had good time celebrating with your family. I really would appreciate your direct feedback with regards to the way that we have communicated the estate rules. We supply those on all websites prior to the booking process and request your acknowledgement in form of signature, this code of conduct is purely there to deter unsuitable parties like hens and stag weekends and ensure that family gatherings like yours experience a peaceful and relaxing stay. It's not there to offend anyone it's for everyone's benefit. We are just a small independent agent on the estate and if we do not share this information with our guests, we will lose our licence to operate so unfortunately, we cannot pick and choose who we submit these to. So sorry to hear that you've got lost upon your arrival, we did share detailed directions and map with you, also the estate has signs for every village, however I must assume that you arrived quite late which I agree is tricky in the dark. Sadly as this is a nature reserve the estate is limited in how much lighting is permitted. We do hope to be of service to you in the future.

Lovely place to stay for family groups

We were a group of friends and a couple of toddlers in our group and this accommodation worked really well. The kitchen was really well equipped with quality appliances and crockery. The roof garden was a lovely addition (although it was too cold for us to use it!) There were also some toys, Lego, games and books available. I have given this 5 stars but there are a few things to share/ be aware of: 1. Make sure you bring wood and kindling as there is none for the log burner to get you started. 2. The living space takes a long time to warm up & even longer if you don’t have firewood & kindling! 3. The indoor pool is lovely and big, but check the temperature of the water before you go in! It was lower than normal due to a previous gas leak and it was too cold for our little ones. 4. The soft play is worth £20 if you have a group of children with you as you get exclusive use. We really enjoyed our stay and would go back to Lower Mill Estate again

Perfection!

This is the second time we have stayed at this property and we just love it. It is so well equipped, clean, modern and comfortable. It has everything you need to prepare a meal, unlike a lot of holiday rentals and everything in the property is of high quality. The roof terrrace is a wonderful edition and one of our favourite things of this last week was feeding swans and cygnets that swam right up to our balcony, we also had a kingfisher land on the balcony! This property is also in a great location within Lower Mill Estate, it is very close to the entrance/exit and also very close to the spa, restaurant and tennis courts! We will definitely be booking again!

Great weekend

I felt the 7pm check out on Sunday was fabulous. It enables you to really get full value for the weekend and make the most of the facilities. My only disappointment was that the patio doors were not clean; neither were the outdoor spaces where the garden furniture was covered in green and some of the rattan furniture was split and damaged; whilst functional did not look to the standard I would expect paying this much money.
