Reston Mill Reviews

The property was lovely and spacious and the children loved the hot tub and games room.

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

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

Perfect accommodation for a large group. Plenty of crockery, cutlery and glassware and other practical bits and bobs. Showers were hot and powerful and beds comfy and clean. The hot tub was serviced twice in the week and was well used by us. My big birthday celebration was a hit!

This is the second time we've used the property for a Christmas visit, we love the location, size of property and hottub. This time we had to set up the WiFi to the tv and get it all working as it had all been unplugged at the bag. For 7 over 50 women this was a challenge. Apart from that it was another enjoyable stay. We would definitely be back.
Very welcoming property, served our needs perfectly and was to a very good standard
We booked this accommodation for a friends special birthday, a couple of days before received an email that the pool room was out of use, and a 70 refund would be issued, I am still waiting for this. All the pans in the cupboard felt greasy and needed washing before use. Both showers dont work properly the water gathers in the trays and doesnt drain away whilst you shower so you have to be really quick. The accommodation itself is roomy and in need of some updating.
Whilst a lovely large house it needs a very good clean. Cobwebs on the inside of windows and lots or areas grubby. No window keys which meant you couldnt open the ones in the conservatory as they were locked. There needs to be more information in the house about the house, the only instructions were on the hot tub. WiFi only really worked well in the kitchen area and not at all upstairs.
We had a lovely stay at Reston mill was a lovely spacious home hot tub was great my son spent every night in there, lovely quiet area, house was clean and tidy apart from sofa in conservatory had stains on it and there was a funny smell but beds and everything else was spotless had all facilities you need when your away. Its about a 10 min walk from a little spar shop and chemist really enjoyed our stay would def book again in future
Lovely place, good spot and plenty of facilities, comfortable beds. Photos made it look better than it was some of furniture old and a bit grubby. It was clean enough but needed a more thorough clean, felt like it has had a few cat licks rather than thorough clean.
