At Luxury 5 Bedroom Lake House with shared pool/spa at Lower Mill Estate, guests praise the spacious, modern lakeside home ideal for multi-generational groups, with beautiful views, well-equipped living areas, and access to pools, spa, gym, tennis, and water sports.
Cleanliness and upkeep receive strong feedback, with several calling the property spotless and well maintained. A recurring drawback is bedroom heat in sunny weather, including the bunk room; there are also isolated complaints about initial hot water issues, minor wear, limited kitchen basics, and unclear appliance instructions. Overall, expect a scenic, activity-rich stay in a roomy lake house suited to groups.

Love love loved our stay at this stunning house. We are a 3 generation family who love the water - we swam and paddle boarded and kayaked every day. Alongside cycling and tennis and gym use we certainly had a fun fit week. Wake boarding was nearby and road cycling routes around this area was flat but very scenic. The house is a glorious space and well equipped with everything we needed for us - baby, toddler and adults alike. Would highly recommend.

I booked 29 Minety lake to celebrate my husbands 70th birthday with family and was over the moon with this beautiful property in glorious surroundings. The house is beautifully furnished and well equipped with everything that a family would need and more, the estate provides a wealth of activities for all. Our family consisted of three generations and there was plenty to occupy all of us, the children loved the swimming pool, the men went for massages and used the steam room, the restaurant provides lovely food and there is the opportunity to just relax and listen to nothing, but the birds. The owner of the property was also extremely helpful with the location of pubs and restaurants. I would highly recommend this property and will definitely be returning for another stay.

Overall our stay at this property was very enjoyable. Beds were comfortable, lovely bathrooms with plenty of hot water. We were lucky to have a very sunny weekend but unfortunately this made the bedrooms very hot, causing some uncomfortable nights, there were two fans provided, which was a help but some more slightly bigger fans would be an advantage. It’s a spacious property with a lovely BBQ and patio seating. There is one en-suite room on the top floor which I had with my husband. This was good for as it gave us some separation from our family group with small children. They occupied the middle floor which has 3 doubles, two of which are en-suites, a family bathroom and a bunk room. The site is very nice, we used the outdoor pool, had spa treatments and hired paddle boards. We also hired the soft play room, which costs £20 for an hour of exclusive use. The children had a great time in there. Hopefully we will be able to return for a weekend next year.

We had a really fabulous weekend to celebrate my Dad’s 80th birthday with an age range 10-80. The weather was kind to us so we spent lots of time outdoors with stunning views of the lake and it meant we got to BBQ and sit on the lovely outdoor furniture. The house is beautifully furnished and really well equipped. We had fun exploring the site and using the pools- even for an outdoor swim in April!

The house is fantastic for a group/ family getaway. Plenty of space and the open plan dining/ kitchen/ living area overlooking the lake is particularly special. Our family had a great stay. We made the most of the activity center and took out some kayaks. The on site restaurant is lovely and serves delicious local produce. Also great to have onsite swimming pools which the kids loved. Alasdair and his property manager James were very helpful and communicative before and during our stay. Alasdair was also kind enough to offer us an additional night for a very generous price. Thanks for a brilliant stay! I highly recommend this property

The house exceeded our expectations and was truly stunning - the photos on the website do not do it justice. We were a large group of 11 adults and teens and there was plenty of room for everyone in the house. There was a lovely view of the lake from the balconies and the deck - we were lucky enough to have warm October sun so made use of the outdoor sofas to sit and bird watch. There was plenty for everyone to do - the teens gave a big thumbs up for the gym and said it was better than some of the hotels they had been to. They also spent hours in the indoor and outdoor heated pools and sauna. The onsite restaurant, Balihoo, had a lively atmosphere in the evening and served a good range of food, and also catered well for vegetarians. I can recommend the Wheatsheaf Inn in Oaksey for a Sunday roast - its a short drive rather than a walk. A traditional pub with very good ale on tap. We ran out of time to try the water sports but there were paddle boards and katakanus on the lake. If you are going in winter, take wellies as some of the estate was under water so the walks can get boggy!

The house was really impressive but let down by the tired / grubby decor, a damaged window that overlooked the lake and some of the lighting in the kitchen didn’t work. Initially we had no hot water at the house, which was a little disappointing considering we had travelled quite a distance and some members of our party were unable to freshen up. We were charged an extra 100 for “cleaning” because we had a small dog with the group. There were no instructions for the ovens, hob or coffee machine which would have been helpful when catering for a large family group and it wasn’t obvious in the listing that there are CCTV cameras at the house, leaving me with the feeling that we were being monitored.

This is a beautiful property on Lower Mill Estate. It is close enough to the main facilities as well as having a lovely view overlooking one of the lakes. When you enter the house, it really does have the wow factor with the open plan kitchen and wide bi-folds. There is plenty of living space and the bedrooms are all a lovely size with 3 out of 5 having their own en-suite and balcony which is a bonus. With the big windows and doors, the property is always full of natural light. Alasdair was a great host and communicated well before, during and after our stay as well as organising someone on site to check we had settled in well and providing us with additional information about the estate which we appreciated.

We were lucky to have a very sunny weekend but unfortunately this made the bedrooms very hot, causing some uncomfortable nights, there were two fans provided, which was a help but some more slightly bigger fans would be an advantage. It’s a spacious property with a lovely BBQ and patio seating. There is one en-suite room on the top floor which I had with my husband. This was good for as it gave us some separation from our family group with small children. They occupied the middle floor which has 3 doubles, two of which are en-suites, a family bathroom and a bunk room. The site is very nice, we used the outdoor pool, had spa treatments and hired paddle boards. We also hired the soft play room, which costs £20 for an hour of exclusive use. The children had a great time in there. Hopefully we will be able to return for a weekend next year.

The house exceeded our expectations and was truly stunning - the photos on the website do not do it justice. We were a large group of 11 adults and teens and there was plenty of room for everyone in the house. There was a lovely view of the lake from the balconies and the deck - we were lucky enough to have warm October sun so made use of the outdoor sofas to sit and bird watch. There was plenty for everyone to do - the teens gave a big thumbs up for the gym and said it was better than some of the hotels they had been to. They also spent hours in the indoor and outdoor heated pools and sauna. The onsite restaurant, Balihoo, had a lively atmosphere in the evening and served a good range of food, and also catered well for vegetarians. I can recommend the Wheatsheaf Inn in Oaksey for a Sunday roast - its a short drive rather than a walk. A traditional pub with very good ale on tap. We ran out of time to try the water sports but there were paddle boards and katakanus on the lake. If you are going in winter, take wellies as some of the estate was under water so the walks can get boggy!

The house was really impressive but let down by the tired / grubby decor, a damaged window that overlooked the lake and some of the lighting in the kitchen didn’t work. Initially we had no hot water at the house, which was a little disappointing considering we had travelled quite a distance and some members of our party were unable to freshen up. We were charged an extra 100 for “cleaning” because we had a small dog with the group. There were no instructions for the ovens, hob or coffee machine which would have been helpful when catering for a large family group and it wasn’t obvious in the listing that there are CCTV cameras at the house, leaving me with the feeling that we were being monitored.

This is a beautiful property on Lower Mill Estate. It is close enough to the main facilities as well as having a lovely view overlooking one of the lakes. When you enter the house, it really does have the wow factor with the open plan kitchen and wide bi-folds. There is plenty of living space and the bedrooms are all a lovely size with 3 out of 5 having their own en-suite and balcony which is a bonus. With the big windows and doors, the property is always full of natural light. Alasdair was a great host and communicated well before, during and after our stay as well as organising someone on site to check we had settled in well and providing us with additional information about the estate which we appreciated.

The house exceeded our expectations and was truly stunning - the photos on the website do not do it justice. We were a large group of 11 adults and teens and there was plenty of room for everyone in the house. There was a lovely view of the lake from the balconies and the deck - we were lucky enough to have warm October sun so made use of the outdoor sofas to sit and bird watch. There was plenty for everyone to do - the teens gave a big thumbs up for the gym and said it was better than some of the hotels they had been to. They also spent hours in the indoor and outdoor heated pools and sauna. The onsite restaurant, Balihoo, had a lively atmosphere in the evening and served a good range of food, and also catered well for vegetarians. I can recommend the Wheatsheaf Inn in Oaksey for a Sunday roast - its a short drive rather than a walk. A traditional pub with very good ale on tap. We ran out of time to try the water sports but there were paddle boards and katakanus on the lake. If you are going in winter, take wellies as some of the estate was under water so the walks can get boggy!

Wonderful, modern, large property in a peaceful and natural setting with lovely wildlife. It was Elaine's birthday treat and she wanted her family/grandchildren there. Perfect environment for fun with water for paddleboarding, swimming pools and areas to kick a ball. We did all our own cooking/entertainment and the house was perfect for that. Thanks Alasdair. Regards. Chris

Lovely lakeside house with jetty. Rented for family celebration, ages from 1 year old to 70 year olds. Ideal for kayaking and the children loved fishing from the jetty. House is very spacious and modern and the welcoming bottle of Prosecco was appreciated. The only slight disappointments were the lack of kitchen basics, foil, cling film, cooking oil and only 5 dishwasher tablets and 2 bin liners provided for a family of 9 for a week, but overall we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay.

I booked 29 Minety lake to celebrate my husbands 70th birthday with family and was over the moon with this beautiful property in glorious surroundings. The house is beautifully furnished and well equipped with everything that a family would need and more, the estate provides a wealth of activities for all. Our family consisted of three generations and there was plenty to occupy all of us, the children loved the swimming pool, the men went for massages and used the steam room, the restaurant provides lovely food and there is the opportunity to just relax and listen to nothing, but the birds. The owner of the property was also extremely helpful with the location of pubs and restaurants. I would highly recommend this property and will definitely be returning for another stay.

Overall our stay at this property was very enjoyable. Beds were comfortable, lovely bathrooms with plenty of hot water. We were lucky to have a very sunny weekend but unfortunately this made the bedrooms very hot, causing some uncomfortable nights, there were two fans provided, which was a help but some more slightly bigger fans would be an advantage. It’s a spacious property with a lovely BBQ and patio seating. There is one en-suite room on the top floor which I had with my husband. This was good for as it gave us some separation from our family group with small children. They occupied the middle floor which has 3 doubles, two of which are en-suites, a family bathroom and a bunk room. The site is very nice, we used the outdoor pool, had spa treatments and hired paddle boards. We also hired the soft play room, which costs £20 for an hour of exclusive use. The children had a great time in there. Hopefully we will be able to return for a weekend next year.

We had a really fabulous weekend to celebrate my Dad’s 80th birthday with an age range 10-80. The weather was kind to us so we spent lots of time outdoors with stunning views of the lake and it meant we got to BBQ and sit on the lovely outdoor furniture. The house is beautifully furnished and really well equipped. We had fun exploring the site and using the pools- even for an outdoor swim in April!

Initially we had no hot water at the house, which was a little disappointing considering we had travelled quite a distance and some members of our party were unable to freshen up. We were charged an extra 100 for “cleaning” because we had a small dog with the group. There were no instructions for the ovens, hob or coffee machine which would have been helpful when catering for a large family group and it wasn’t obvious in the listing that there are CCTV cameras at the house, leaving me with the feeling that we were being monitored.
