A slice of heaven! Lake Bywater cottage was everything we needed to rest, relax, and recharge. We absolutely loved our tome here and cant wait to visit again
The home and surrounding garden/areas is absolutely beautiful and overall our stay was perfect. We had everything we needed and then some - due to the addition of the under cover BBQ area that wasn't shown in the images! It's not complete yet but the table and BBQ itself were just great to utilise. The view was beautiful, the amenities were great, the shed with all the activities in it were awesome! We had the best time and are already in talks to rebook :)
This house is amazing. If you like history this house will not disappoint. The house is cosy with beautiful views. Abundance of wildlife with kayaks and a paddle boat to enjoy. Excellent amenities with personal touches. Chocolates on arrival and toiletries. Will love to retur. Enjoyed immensely.
The property is something extraordinary. Beautiful lush lawns, lake and the river all within walking distance.
No need for a TV as the front windows overlook the green lawns, trees, river and lake. The games room was a big hit with adults and teenagers alike on a rainy day.
My family still cannot thank me enough for finding this little gem for our gateway. Looking forward to booking again in a near future.
