The location is fantastic, with the views looking out over the lakes. The facilities at mill village are too few for the number of homes. We could not get booked onto any tennis courts, the swimming pool was always fully booked and the cafe/restaurant always refused to serve as 'over busy'. The shop, it's not really a shop to be honest didn't sell milk or bread, resulting in a 10 minute drive to a local village. Unfortunately it's a classic example of building far to many homes that the infrastructure can't support. A big shame and to an extent spoiled our holiday. Won't be returning.
