we had a wonderful stay at mere hide. we have stayed on lower mill estate before, and this time we were careful to choose a property with an excellent location. facing west the decked balcony that overhung the lake got the afternoon sun and great sunsets. although there us still building work around the complex, i still think that mere hide has an excellent location on the estate.
although one of the smaller properties on the complex mere hide had everyting we needed and plenty of space downstairs for a family of 5. our older children loved the bunk bed, and the house generally was well equipped and baby friendly (high chair, stair gate, blackout blinds ).
the artspa complex is superb, we swam every day, sometimes twice! very child friendly changing rooms.
the girls loved riding their bikes all over the complex, and we felt very safe and secure letting them go off on their own. seeing beavers on a lake at dusk was a real highlight.
nearby butts farm and cotswold waterbeach made great afternoons out, both only 5 mins drive away.
a great rental, one of the best we've stayed in.
