Woodlark

Spanning over three floors with multiple outdoor balconies and a spacious overwater deck, this detached and well-loved holiday home features a modern turret design at the front, housing the internal staircase so as not to interfere with the sleeping and living areas.  

This is your invitation to a relaxed escape into the heart of the exclusive Lower Mill Estate. 

Ideal for three couples (6 adults) and four children, or three couples, two children (in bunk beds) and two friends or teenagers.  

Woodlark's back decking and balconies are west facing, catching the sun perfectly in the summer months, providing an idyllic spot for evening drinks receptions. 

Woodlark has direct lake access from the lower deck through a combination locked gate, the code will be provided upon arrival.

Ground Floor 

As you step into ‘Woodlark,’ be welcomed into the ground floor entry hall where timber floors fill the hall and carpets warm the bedrooms, creating both practicality and comfort. 

Off the entry hall, a double bedroom awaits, complete with built-in robes and a wall-mounted TV for laidback evenings. The ensuite shower room offers both an overhead cascade and a handheld shower. Slide open the glass door and you will find yourself on a spacious overwater deck with an array of seating options, perfect for soaking in the westerly lake views. This is your private corner of Howells Mere, shared with just a few other like-minded holiday makers, offering tranquility and sunset vistas. 

Another bedroom on this floor is a snug twin room with built-in-robes and features lake views with sliding doors to this shared overwater deck. The twin beds can be made up as a double on request. 

If alternative bed configurations are not requested at the time of booking or at least one week before arrival, an additional charge may be applied to recall Housekeeping to make the adjustments

A separate family shower room can also be found on this floor, creating a space tailored for a family of four or a couple and their close friends.

Ascend the carpeted stairs up the turret to discover the first floor’s charm. A bunk bedroom, suitable for children, awaits with a chest of drawers and cupboard for their belongings. The family bathroom boasts a shower over a bath, perfect for bathing the little ones after a day's adventures. 

A second double bedroom, complete with built-in-robes, offers an en-suite shower room and a TV ideally positioned for bedtime relaxation. What truly sets this room apart is the sliding glass door leading to the shared first floor balcony – a peaceful spot to start or end your day with views across Howells Mere. 

A third double bedroom, complete with its own built-in robes, opens to the same shared first floor balcony, where an inviting egg chair sways gently, inviting you to take in the views and let time slow down.
