Everything was fine, should probably have extended our stay to take advantage of the facilities on site and location. Very enjoyable



Wonderful view from this lovely property.

We thoroughly enjoyed Goose Nest House.
Inside was spotlessly clean and very well equipped.
The view is amazing - one of the best locations on the estate we thought!
The only suggestions we’d have are comfier sofas, better access to the lake behind the house through the bulrushes for the paddle boards, and also to clean the balcony and patios. There are lots of cobwebs etc hanging above your head. These outside areas need a good brush down and scrub.
Lastly some of the maps and timetables in the house are out of date which makes finding your way around the estate confusing. See my next point below.

It’s nothing to do with the house or its owners, but the estate itself is very difficult to navigate. Signs are fading and very sparse. It’s hard to find your way around. The swimming pool is lovely but was absolutely rammed full of families and kids due to it being the summer holidays. It was impossible to enjoy time in there which was a real down point and you have to turn up for timed sessions which is a real pain. It’s like the estate has gotten too big for the facilities they provide. They need another pool complex elsewhere on site to spread people about.

The property is located on the lake, east facing with great views of the sunrise. It has everything you need including games, tennis and table tennis equipment, 2 travel cots, lots of kids cutlery etc. all this made for an easy stay.
