Sorrel House Reviews
“Paddle boarding a must!”
Had a lovely week at Sorrel House. A very well equipped house and facilities on site. We had a couple of lovely meals at the Thameshead Inn. Lots of activities on site for the kids and grown ups. Paddle boarding is a must! – Aug 24 RS
“Wonderfully comfortable beds!”
Just returned home from a glorious weekend at Lower Mill Estate, staying in the superbly laid out Sorrel House. Situated right on Howell’s Mere, we could watch the kids paddle boarding and jumping in the water for hours while we enjoyed coffee on the deck (multiple decks!). I have trouble sleeping but had no issues at Sorrel House, I feel so rested after just 3 nights! Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home – July 24 SB
