  • Rachel

    So clean and well maintained. We had a great time and can't wait to visit again.

  • Gemma

    Rowan is the front lodge with uninterrupted views over the lake and fields and is tastefully decorated and very comfortable and cozy while still being spacious. The hot tub was welcome all weekend and the fairy lights at night added to the ambience. We took our bikes and went to Hicks Lodge around the cycle tracks there, walked to the local pubs The Halfway House and Cricketts - delicious food at both and walked the nearby Ashby Woulds Heritage trail. The owners are very helpful on arrival and would highly recommend Steam Mill Lodges to anyone.
