Agua de Plata Reviews

Natasha
Well above our expectations. Beautifully presented and clean property in an idyllic setting. Lovely extra touches like the welcome Dorset groceries. We will definitely be coming back for a longer stay.
Jessica
Wow, what a week! We wanted peace and quiet and thats exactly what we got. It felt like home from home, with everything you need. The house was extremely comfortable. We met some neighbours who were all very welcoming. The world stopped for us for the week while we connected as a familywalking, swimming, exploring, and eating lots in front of the lovely fire. Only a few points to mention we couldnt access Netflix upstairs in the rooms, but I know if we had messaged the owners they would have sorted it straight away. We also noticed a CCTV camera on the nextdoor property which looks to point directly onto the back garden space of this property. This did make me feel uneasy with children, and we wouldnt have enjoyed the garden if it was summer. This is not a reflection on this property though, as everything has been thought ofeven down to the torches on the landing! Book you wont be disappointed Thank you, we will be sure to come back.
Sharon
We absolutely loved the house. Very comfortable and had almost everything you needed for your stay. The island is lovely, scenery is amazing. Facilities on site were great! We were very comfortable here and will book to come back in a few months. We wee sad to leave!
My wife and stayed here for a week at the beginning of September, just after the school summer holiday. There were 5 adults. Agua de Plata provides a perfect base to relax and to explore the Silverlake Estate and nearby coastal walks and beaches. At Silverlake we swam in the main lake, made use of the free kayaks, regularly swam in the heated pool and used the gym and sauna. The beds were comfortable and gave us all a good nights sleep, and the downstairs kitchen lounge diner was perfect for a relaxing family time together. Silverlake itself is so peaceful, and during our evening walks we came across flocks of geese, Roe deer, Bats and running Hares. There were very minor issues with cleanliness at Agua de Plata which I've raised with the owner, but these wouldn't stop us from returning, or recommending.
We had a fantastic stay the house absolutely lived up to our expectations! Silverlake is a hidden gem peaceful, spotlessly clean, and feels incredibly safe. Its just a lovely place to be. Although the canal at the bottom of the garden had dried up due to the long hot summer, it didnt take away from the charm of the setting. Just a headsup the pool is quite small and doesnt have a deep end which could be a plus or minus depending on your preference, but excitingly, it looks like theyre building a brandnew additional one for next year! The highlight for us was definitely the beach and lake absolutely perfect for paddleboarding and swimming.

The house was in a beautiful setting. We were there first week of June after half term and it was lovely and quiet. The water ways and nature all around made our holiday. There is so much to do in this part of Dorset plus all the things to do on site. The swimming pool is heated and usually they never are that warm but this one was so made it lovely to use even on the cold windy days.
We had a great stay at Agua de Plata. Lots of information provided by property owners ahead of arrival. Great accommodation and nice area to visit.
Wonderful break in a smashing property on a fantastic location, perfect for us all. Everything we wanted, we will return. Thank you David for your prompt response, rest assured we will tell our friends and family about our lovely stay.
Angela
Loved it. Thank you so much. Beautiful place. Everything we needed. Wed love to come again.
Maureen
Would have appreciated a bedside lamp in all of the bedrooms not just the master and in the lounge area too. Not everyone wants to have overhead lights on in the evening when they are relaxing.
Andrew
We are just returning from a week's holiday in 16 Wakeling Island. We had a such a lovely stay with our 4 children thoroughly enjoying all of the facilities and sports' equipment on offer. It was great having such easy access to the canal to make use of our own paddle board too. The house was super clean with everything we needed for our stay enabling us to cook for our family for the duration. Owing to the un favourable weather and also the excitement of the England football matches we were also delighted to make use of the comforts of the living area, games and TV screen. We really enjoyed the walks and exploring the wildlife. All in all, we really enjoyed our trip.
Beautiful house in a very tranquil environment, house had everything we needed for our stay, close to some of the most beautiful areas of the country. The resort had a lovely gym and pool that we were able to use and the coffee bar made some amazing cocktails. The lady at the bar was very polite and happy to help with anything
