This lodge was fabulous. Spotless, loads of space and some nice touches.

Would definitely stay again.

Muntjac Lodge is well appointed and comfortable. Its position is just back from the lake but has a natural aspect to the rear.

The only small complaints were that the travel cot did not have a mattress. It wasn’t where we were told to find it but we used throws under the plastic base to make it more comfortable. The high chair was a bit of a mess and the fabric torn. These are minor issues which didn’t matter for a short trip. The only other thing was that the heating had been set very high on arrival, which made it quite difficult to unload the cars and up three flight s of stairs for the top bedroom.

Otherwise we would definitely stay here again. The location far outweighed the few minor issues. Lovely walks and the heated pool was a big hit with the family.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us on your recent stay at Muntjac Lodge. We’re very glad to hear that you liked the property and it's lovely location. Your valuable feedback has been shared with the property owners and property manager. They’ve confirmed that a cot mattress is not provided due to health and safety reasons, and the highchair will be replaced as soon as possible. They're also sorry to hear that you found the property too warm. As noted in the welcome guide, which is available in the guest portal after booking and also in the property, "The heating is controlled via a Hive with one individual thermostat for each of the three floors. Simply turn up the dial on the thermostat for the floor as needed". We hope to see you in the Cotswolds again soon.

Had an amazing weekend staying in Muntjac. Ideal for our purposes. Takes a little while to get acclimatised to the layout and workings of Lowermill estate but once we had that sorted it opened a wealth of activities. We made good use of the pool, play park and walks. The pizzas from pizza shack on Friday were great and the Private dining delivered from Ballihoo on the Saturday was delicious would definitely recommend. House was comfortable spacious and well equipped with everything we needed. Could have stayed much longer.
Our only quibble was find parking spaces on arrival in the dark. More instruction as to what look for would have helped.

We had everything we needed for a great family get together. House was perfect and in a fantastic position,the estate we were on was very clean and had loads of stuff for all the children with us. Dog friendly and loads of countryside to explore. Will definitely return.

This was our 2nd visit the first was so good! Good position in Howells Mere with a great outlook at the rear of the property. Very well equipped in the kitchen. There were 10 of us with 2 dogs and had ample room. Only a short walk to our favourite lake. We used tennis court daily and football a few times. It is a huge site for those that enjoy a good walk. It felt very safe and secure. The use of the pools and the spa was an excellent addition. On site support worked very well, and the welcome pack was a lovely gesture.
Thank you to our hosts and to support staff.

Shower on the top floor was super hot and could not be cooled. We could not use this.
Outdoor furniture was not clean and full of cobwebs and spiders. We had to hoover before use.
The rest of the property was clean.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about your recent stay at Muntjac Lodge. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit. Your valuable feedback has been shared with both the owner and property manager. We understand you were in touch regarding the hot water issue, which we’re glad was resolved during your stay. The property manager also mentioned that they would have been very happy to assist with the shower if you had brought it to their attention, and that the outdoor furniture had been cleaned before your arrival but they would have been more than willing to reclean it for you as well. They’ve now confirmed the shower has been looked at and fixed. We hope to welcome you back to the Cotswolds again soon.

Perfect mixed generation family stay

Our stay was absolutely perfect, wouldn't have changed a thing except the length of time (we all wished it was far longer!). The lodge, estate and surrounding areas are all beautiful and perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better place.
