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 stay
House and location are perfect for a family get together. Beautifully furnished and well equipped. The on-site pool and spa facilities are top notch. The Balihoo restaurant is fabulous. The lake activities were great fun.
All highly recommended

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.
Lovely stay and beautiful location. Great size house and all amenities included. Only slight issue was the facilities in terms of availability to use the pool. Thank you for a lovely weekend.

A great stay!
This was a multigenerational family get together to celebrate a big birthday. We were aged from 10 weeks to 77 years old! We all enjoyed this most comfortable house, which was probably the best equipped I have ever stayed in. Comfort and cleanliness were exceptional and the contact before and after from Orion was superb. We were familiar with the location but again enjoyed walks, swimming and cycling. Views of the lake from the house were great and we enjoyed our resident cuckoo and muntjac deer. A relaxing 5 nights and generally good weather added to our enjoyment . I would be more than happy to visit this property again.

Family Vacation
Well where can I begin, this place is amazing. Everything you need is there. Property was so clean when we arrived. Lovely de king area to sunbathe on and you dont loose the sun until about 7.30 pm. Such a lovely decorated property.
Excellent location, views and Spa. Pools and spa was so clean including the outdoor pool, which is right by the Tennis Courts and the area where you can hire equipment. This pool you don't have to pre-book. Loads of activities too keep you busy. Also you can drive out to other places, Lakes & Restaurants and its only about 10 minutes drive to the Beach Country Park, which is worth a visit, lots to do.
All the staff on site were amazing and extremely helpful, nothing was too much trouble. If you have a Canoe or Kayak definitely worth taking so much opportunity.
We will definitely return all the family enjoyed the week.

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
