Wonderful stay

We travelled as a family of four and really enjoyed our time at the lower mill estate. The apartment was very quiet and peaceful. Easy to access and good communication from Orion. Will hopefully be back!

Lovely apartment

Great apartment on the lake, good condition and well equipped. We really like the Lower Mill estate, it’s great for families with lots for young children. Spent 4 nights there as a group of 6 which was a bit snug but would recommend.

Excellent facilities.

Fantastic place, great amenities, weather was good but you only have sun on the balcony for a few hours in the morning. Only thing stopping me going back would be the cost.

Howells Mere Sept '23

Well appointed flat, nice balcony view over the lake. My only negative is the signage around the grounds. It's a very large site, with a lot of accommodation blocks. Signage to locate the property was poor, especially arriving in darkness. Thus, a frustrating start to the break, but overall would recommend the Lower Mill Estate as a good place to stay, with decent amenities and lots of activities nearby

A lovely stay in a great location

88 Howells Mere is a lovely apartment, with plenty of space and a beautiful deck overlooking the lake. The location is spot on, just a short walk up to Balihoo and the Spa. It has everything you need, with comfy beds and a spacious lounge to relax in. Highly recommended!
