About this property
The Skydeck is located on Howells Mere overlooking the Site of Special Scientific Interest, and with stunning, far reaching views this is another high quality property in one of the most prestigious locations on the Cotswold Lakes. Inside the owners have created an amazing, contemporary holiday home, which has clearly been developed with self catering holidays in mind. On the first two floors are five good sized bedrooms most with terraces and views towards the water, leading to the top floor - an open plan living space with 360 degree views across the lakes and surrounding countryside. Finally there is the 'skydeck' itself - the very top floor - an outdoor roof terrace with exceptional and interrupted views for miles. Wow! Additionally, the property, of course, is situated within a stroll of the multi-million pound Artspa facility - with its indoor and outdoor heated pools, which really complete the package This is an excellent self catering holiday home with the added flexibility of an on-site restaurant - we are quite sure you will agree!

First floor double bedroom - shower drains very slowly. No instructions for where to put rubbish bags. No instructions on how to use TV. Standard of cleaning was below average - lots of hair and dust under the chairs in the sitting room - we cleaned it up! The standard of the outdoor cushions was poor - they need replacing more frequently.

The house was perfect for us, the kitchen is very well equipped and the house is very comfortable. It is finished to high standard. The water park is fantastic! We had a brilliant stay and will definitely be back

Except the living room is getting too hot and there is no airco of no measures to keep the flying animals away when you open the window. Otherwise it would be perfect. We got the keycodes for the house and the entrance of the park. The code for entrance of the park was not right. We had to ring at the door and sometimes it wasn't answered and we had to wait for another car to drive by so we could go after that car. I sent an email about the codes and the answer was that is was their last information and otherwise I had to inform at security. Not very friendly towars a costumer.
