Family holiday
We had a wonderful time at the house which was very spacious with a very well equipped kitchen. Little disappointed about the small amount of wood for the fire. We had problems finding the house, the directions were not clear and we had to go through a gate which needed a code. My son travelled later and could not see any signs to the house. The arrow said Orchid??? The dishwasher didn't wash well until we cleaned the filter. I feel that should be checked by the cleaners. If those issues could be addressed it would be an excellent place to stay and we are definitely hoping to return soon

Great stay at Howells Mere
The house was well presented and comfortable. The unimpeded view over the lake, complete with resident heron and other wildlife added to the charm of the location.

A great time was had by all
The house was exactly like the photos, very clean and very spacious. Everything you could possible want was provided and the area the house is in was very quiet. We had the use of the Spa which was great and we were very lucky to find the two pools were empty most of the time. If you want any treatments at the Spa it’s best to book before you go as they are very busy. We had a meal at the Ballyhoo Restaurant and it was lovely and reasonably priced again it’s best to book before you go. This house is perfect for families or large groups and we enjoyed our time there so much we will be returning next year.
