Great week away enjoyed by two seperate families

We stayed at the property last year with another family and we all enjoyed the break so much that we have just visited again! Loved all the facilities on site, including the spa, gym, inside and outside swimming pools and tennis courts. Would definately return.

Great property for a long weekend

Stayed as two families - 4 adults 3 kids. V clean and well maintained, good facilities and attentive customer service. Only drawback is open decking so others can walk past whilst sitting out but that’s fine for a weekend.
Stayed 3 nights in May 2023

Fantastic stay with friends

We had a great stay - plenty of space and well equipped, comfortable accomodation in a perfect location. A particular highlight was our inaugural trip on our new kayak - which we easily walked to the nearest lake to launch. We also loved watching the ducks who came right up to our deck.

Just Wonderful

A perfect 3 day break at Howells Mere 47, Robin Lodge. Beautiful house which was fully equipped and very comfortable. Everything was of high quality and ample space for 8 of us. Spa treatment was amazing and we made full use of the pools. Was excellent having free passes! Would definitely recommend and hope to return.

A great week in the cotswolds

We had a great week in the Cotswolds. We stayed as two families with young children. Plenty of space in the house for us all. Kitchen was well stocked to allowed us to cook every night. The lower mill estate is a great place to stay. Felt very safe to give the kids some freedom on their bikes. The pools are great, as was the park. Plenty of other things locally to keep us busy.

A lovely weekend

We had a lovely weekend staying in a comfortable, well appointed house. The surrounding lakes and walks were beautiful. The only negative we had was better signage was needed for the properties, ie HOWELLS MERE NOS 1-40 for example. It was a little difficult finding our rental even using the map provided. This DID NOT spoil our holiday though.

Enjoyed an excellent stay. Lodge provided all we needed. Rooms of good size & beds were very comfortable. Plenty of cleaning products available & coffee/tea/ sugar sachets were a pleasing touch. Lakeside location excellent as family members loved paddle boarding from 'our own" deck . Swimming pools were fabulous with excellent facilities. Only disappointment was a lack of shopping choices. Otherwise we had a happy & fabulous time enjoying the celebration of 2 Golden Weddings. Many thanks for the cards & proseccos.

A great short break

We went with family and shared the house, 4 adults and 4 kids. Accomodation was lovely. The only slight downside was we couldn't really see the lake but still a beautiful place. We played tennis, went swimming, used the astro and had a game of football on the field. We also hired canoes. Unfortunately the restaurant was always fully booked, so we went off site or had a BBQ at the house. Overall a great weekend break

Robin Lodge

All in fairly reasonable condition apart from the wood surround bed . Kept banging shins as not a lot of room to move around it. Would suggest baths - apart from in the family bathroom - be replaced with walk in showers.

A great stay

A very well-equipped clean property with high quality appliances other than the fridge/freezer. The bedrooms on the 1st floor are tight, particularly the twin/double. Nice sociable dining/lounge area, unfortunately we could not make use of the outdoor space due to the wet weather, but this again looked a nice area. The swimming pool was overcrowded at times and changing rooms not clean although this was out of control of the property owner.
