We were five friends and partners who hadn't been able to celebrate big birthdays last year so this provided the perfect place to do that. The restaurant on site was good both for dinner and breakfast.

Hoopoe Cottage and Somerford Keynes was everything we expected and more. The two bedrooms with the lake views were fab. The terrace had ample space and comfy seats. We appreciated goodies and milk when we arrived. Thank you to host Nicola.
Could have done with a mirror in double bedroom for hairdrying. Will definitely be recommending to family and friends and would love to stay again

We wanted a holiday where all 3 generations could have a week together in comfort. Hoopoe Cottage surpassed our expectations, it is clean, modern, comfortable and set in a beautiful location. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful, what more could you ask for? Thank you Nicola, for opening your holiday home up for us. We will certainly recommend it to others.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2018
This property was rather disappointing and did not meet our expected standard. In my opinion this property is better suited to accommodate 8, plus cot/put up bed. Lower Mill and surrounding areas have lots to offer, walking, water sports, wildlife and nature trails. Lower Mill has a lot to offer, including a super spa and pool, plus two outdoor pools, cycle hire (great safe cycling areas for all the family). Facilities for young children are well catered for, including treasure trail, which my grandchildren loved.
