Accommodation was just what we had booked,clean plenty of room and spacious downstairs. The upstairs landing was in need of a little TLC as some of the floorboards where sagging places. All in all we had a great time at the accommodation
Angela
The Property was in good location easy access to train station for Windermere, Bowness. The Pub Waterside Mill 20 minutes walk and the food is beautiful. The property could do with a little update but in general no complaints. Clean,spacious, Utilities fine everything you could need. There's a little dip in the landing that needs looking at the game's room smells musty, due to being in a shed. The Gazebo was great addition, a nice touch would be fairy lights

We recently stayed here as a group of 9 lads and it was honestly the perfect house for our trip. The place had everything we needed to keep everyone entertained. The highlight was definitely the hot tub, which was a massive laugh, and we spent a lot of our time out in the garden having a proper BBQ and a few drinks. Its a great setup for a group, and we made full use of the pool table as well. The area itself is spot on, and we enjoyed it so much that we are already talking about making this an annual tradition. Highly recommend this place if youre looking for a solid spot for a group trip. Cheers! Downstairs shower neefs fixing as it didnt appear to work

This is the second time staying at Reston Mill. The house is in a great location close to village . The kitchen is large but washer really needs a bigger drum for size of house and number of guests also fridge freezer could do with being a bit larger. A useful addition would be a condenser dryer perhaps in the utility room as no where to put wet clothing if raining. The floorboards on landing upstairs are loose and need attention. Overall we enjoyed our stay ,the garden is lovely and spacious and the hot tub a plus. The children loved the conservatory. Had an issue with electric circuit tripping, however the electrician came the same day and remedied the problem. Great service.Would stay again as house however just needs some tlc.

The property photos must have been taken a long time ago as it is not as bright and of the calibre portrayed. The lounge, sun room and entrance area, in particular, are very tired and in need of updating. And I would not use Sykes again, as they did not respond to messages I sent seeking reassurance that issues raised in other reviews had been addressed.

Loved our stay at Reston Mill. We were a group of 5 couples and the house was perfectly equipped for dinner parties and seatingsleeping arrangements etc. The hot tub was great and was cleaned twice during our visit. The only issues we faced were the dishwasher that wasn't great at cleaning dishes and the upstairs shower that drained too slowly. Was plenty of space for parking and the location was great. Would definitely stay again.

While the accommodation was lovely and the house was brilliantly stocked, the reason we chose this accommodation was because of the hot tub. A better description wouldve been Luke warm tub. It wasnt hot on arrival or later in the evening and only got hot by the morning. This is quite disappointing. The floorboards upstairs are very squeaky also. This woke up the baby quite frequently along with other people sleeping. The heating also came on in the evening and the house was swelteringly hot and woke most people up early. Overall, a lovely stay. I would recommend but make the comment that the hot tub wasnt hot at all
Great garden, lots of space, lovely dining area where everyone can sit comfortably. Bedrooms and bathrooms worked well with lots of options. Lots of usable parking allowed flexibility. A good stay
Michelle
A true honest review 7 of us all female, all ladies of a certain age , so we not children however we were there to let our hairs down have good time We arrived , it looks from the picture an amazing huge cottage however its attached to another cottage and you are in a small out way area with few houses around, you can imagine it , the neighbours werent happy noise they came around and complained , we were thinking oh hell we got to be quiet which we did rest week ! !! Hot tub was a hit , it was hot and had no problems with it , someone came to service and clean it which bonus The house its self is big, creeky flooring but its expected its an old house, plenty seating showers were good bed comfortable plenty of crockery nothing for children so if you have kids take their bowels etc They had complimentary box of soap shower get really nice touch There key safe to let yourself in Would I stay again no sadly not I liked the place etc but not attached to another house Felt no privacy no garden furniture so couldnt sit outside
