The property could do with a really good clean inside and out. We loved every bit of our weeks stay and the property was everything we wanted. No oven gloves didn’t help when removing things from the oven though. The river frontage was spectacular and the setting was perfect. The BBQ was a bit di...

We had an issue with the toilet in one of the bedrooms. The estate sent an engineer but it was not able to be fixed whilst we were there. It would also be good to have some beach chairs to use during the stay.

We had such a lovely stay at the Silverlake Estate , the property was immaculate other than a stained mattress which we happily covered with a sheet. Reason for small mark downs to a 9 was purely an accident we had on arrival ( which was dealt with promptly ) and the ants . Understandably we are ...

We had a fantastic time and the property was perfect for us. My only niggle would be that the barbecue is faulty (ignition, temperature control) meaning that we had to use matches and it was difficult to cook on

I believe that silverlake would benefit from an onsite 'farm' shop, and evening bar/restaurant. I also believe that as well the evening 11pm noise policy, that an early morning, say 8 am policy should be introduced. We also felt that it would be nice to complete full loops of the waterways ra...

The food at the Hatch was excellent. We could not relax in the pool as younger people and their parents were playing with balls in the water which narrowly missed our heads on occasions.

No 30 Overton Island was a lovely house and we enjoyed having the small garden space outside the lounge where we could sit in the evenings. One comment to note is that the owner should consider replacing the double mattress in the children's room on the bottom bunk bed as you can feel the springs...

We enjoyed our stay, though some shade over the outside table and seating area would have been appreciated. For 10 adults we really needed more glasses and mugs and the occasional clean under sofas would not go amiss. But generally the house was clean and well equipped and there was a good amount...
