“South Pool is just lovely.”

A tranquil setting with very little traffic. We enjoyed visiting the Millbrook Inn where the food was delicious and the staff and locals friendly and welcoming.

“Although the house was very clean was disappointed that the rug in the lounge and the grey sofa had black dog hairs on having a baby with us this was not up to standard, although we had dogs with us as requested they were kept down stairs in the conservatory (ours were not black dogs) it was a pity other guest did not follow the rules.”

The only other complaint was the double bed in the lower floor bedroom was very low and not comfortable resulting in a aching back maybe its time to invest in a new one. The kitchen was extremely well catered for and spotlessly clean. Overall a nice house and we en joyed our stay apart from these errors.

“The house was ideally located, loads of parking - we loved the friendly pub.”

One day the shower wasn't working on the ground floor. We rang the Caretaker and it was fixed on our return home. The house was lovely and suited our party of 7 Adults and 1 Teenager. The only issue was that there were only two sofas upstairs, so in the evening, some of us had to sit on dinning room chairs. Overall we had a wonderful Christmas stay at Estuary House.
“4.5 stars - house well positioned on edge of Southpool Estuary/creek and a brilliant way to introduce small children to water and boating - tides permitting.”

Split level accommodation excellent for the needs of three families of various ages. Well set up for children incl DVD! We appreciated extras ie Canadian canoe + lift jackets and a nearby public slipway to launch our dinghy. NB may need a gate across path at the top left of house beyond washing line to stop any wayward (not ours!) children getting out to front unnoticed.

“Estuary House is a modern 5 bedroom house in a really good location.”

It was well stocked and had lovely views of the surrounding countryside and the river when the tide was in. The kids loved the canoe that they could use to paddle in the river. When an issue arose with the wifi connection and a power cut, this was fixed very quickly by the local caretaker.

Thank you for taking the time to write such positive feedback about your stay at Estuary House in South Pool. We were delighted to hear that you really liked the property's location just a few yards from South Pool Creek and that the children loved to paddle in the canoe. It was also satisfying that the issue with the wifi connection was rectified swiftly so you were able to enjoy your holiday. We look forward to welcoming you back to this beautiful area very soon!

“The house was in a good location unfortunately the interior of the property was not as good as others I have previously rented, for example broken tiles in the conservatory, no explanation re the heating/towel rails etc.”

paintwork not finished. The bathrooms are a little dated also, carpets not clean and general cleanliness could have been better.
