Escape Ordinary at Lily's Pad

Cannot fault the accommodation. Great location.

Brilliant location, superb home and other facilities .. Great spot for fishing.. But it's not worth £650 for 2 nights of staying for 2 adults and one child.. Same number of nights week later is £450.. That's bit strange.. Definitely its a place to visit more than one time..

Difference in price on weekly basis

The location is fabulous, a little overlooked but other properties. the property is lovely an spacious with a fabualous hot tube over looking the lake. The views from the house are also fabulous, even on a wet windy day.

The beds could have been more comfortable in one of the rooms. double room beds too soft. Limited sizes of sausapans that worked on the induction hob.

We stayed at Lily's Pad for a weekend getaway with my mum and sisters and had such a lovely time. The house is fab – spacious, stylish and right on the lake, with beautiful views that made it feel really special. The hot tub was a brilliant bonus, and we made great use of the large dining table and well-equipped kitchen to cook and eat together. The beds were really comfy, everything was spotless, and the living room was perfect for relaxing in the evenings. We also enjoyed paddle boarding and trail walks at Castle Archdale, which is just a mile away – a brilliant spot for outdoor activities and exploring the local area. The host was fantastic – super responsive and helpful, always replying within minutes. We’d definitely stay again. Next time, we might book both Lily’s Pad and Ernie’s Den together – they’re side by side and would be ideal for a bigger family gathering.

One small thing to note: the Booking.com listing has a mix of photos from both Lily's pad and Ernie's den, which can be a bit confusing, so it would be clearer to only show pictures of the house you’re booking. We did notice a few flies in the house – likely because of the lake – but that’s to be expected in such a scenic setting. A few extra toiletries like shampoo and shower gel would have been appreciated – the hotel-sized bottles were quite small for a group stay – but that’s a minor thing in what was otherwise a brilliant trip.

Location, hot tub. Swift response to issues raised.

Decor a little tired, attention to detail not there.

We had a great family stay here. The property is lovely. Perfect, remote location right on the water with stunning views. Everything inside was very modern and decorated lovely. Log fire in the living room is very cosy. Hot tub was great. Kitchen was well stocked with appliances and supplies (tea/coffee etc.). Would love to go back for another visit.

Were a bit disappionted in the outside seating being covered in bird poo, the cushions had been left out with no cover etc. so was inevitably going to happen, one cushion was also missing from the sofa (never received replacement). The two heaters I'd seen in the photos weren't there so I had to call the owner, they sent housekeeping who found one in storage and had to drive to get the gas for it. Could have been better prepared but were glad to have at least one. No blind in the main bathroom, we hung a towel in the window for some privacy from main path. No tea towel or dishwater tabs available to us. The property listing for said 4 bedrooms, but is only 3 bedrooms, wasn't an issue for our booking but could have been a hassle had we not noticed until we got there. Think the ad/pictures is combined with the property next door (not clear which one you're booking).
