Summary: We loved Frank and Marisol's house. It sits nestled in a quiet and intimate space along the Lozoya river just a short drive along a dirt road two minutes from the main ´carretera´. The only disruptions are the occasional cow or horse ambling by on their way to the river for a drink. The house itself is large and comfortable, with five upstairs bedrooms that are lovingly decorated and could easily be in a country hotel. The living area has a very well-stocked sunken kitchen and the sofa area was perfect for evening movie fests. Then there was the lovely garden area and large terrace where we had many dinners. The dipping pool is great for cooling off (it's filled from the river so it's cold) and you can walk a short way to the dammed portion of the river for serious swims. There is a lot to do nearby with hiking trails that leave from the property and just a short drive away you can kayak at the reservoir which we really loved or have a beer or a meal in the nearby village of Lozoya. Be sure to plan a day trip to Segovia, which is truly an incredible experience but there are also other pretty villages like Buitrago del Lozoya. Overall a fantastic experience and the house was the perfect base for a beautiful vacation!

Summary: The mill is in great condition, with recent implementation of heating adding to the comfort on colder March mornings. The location is unbeatable for a retreat with friends, and Frank Diephuis is nothing short of an excellent and very accomodating host.

Summary: We've been a group of 9 students, staying at the mill for a robotics workshop (first two weeks of September 2017) and did enjoy our stay from the first day to the last. The location offers plenty of space, so that 5..6 groups of 2 persons each could gather in and around the house, focus on their topics without disturbing the others. Cooking and recreation was also wonderful, some having a bath in the pool, swimming directly in the river, some going for a walk while discussing scientific topics, everybody eating together outside during the sunset... Frank (the owner) was very friendly and relaxed, the weather was all day sunny - what could you ask more for? Definitely a place you want to come back to!

Summary: If you want complete peace and quiet and love to connect with nature, this is the place for you. This property is heaven for those who like a simple life; barbequing local produce on the terrace, going for long walks, enjoying the birds and butterflies. The setting is breathtaking. We visited in early June when the wildflowers were at their best and the Guadarrama mountains still capped with snow. As you turn off the main road to Lozoya you enter a track flanked by wildflower meadows. You drive down to cross a tumbling river and there’s the Mill perched above it. The only visitors we had all week were a herd of friendly ponies from the neighbouring farm, and we fell asleep each night to the sound of rushing water. Only a stone’s throw from the back gate there is a Spanish ‘national trail’ – well signposted and easy to follow. Turn left to reach a mediaeval bridge, turn right to reach a Roman bridge – accompanied by the sound of cowbells and the rush of the river. All this less than an hour’s drive from Madrid! Eagles, kites and vultures soar above you and the hills echo with cuckoos declaring their territory. Flocks of smaller birds (driven out of England by intensive agriculture) are still flourishing here. Watch out for the woodchat shrike perched on a branch waiting for a meal to fly by. If you’re lucky, you’ll see a flash of yellow in the garden as a Golden Oriole passes by, but more likely you will hear their flute-like song tantalisingly close. Bedrooms are clean and comfortable, all with en-suite shower room (great shower pressure). If you prefer a bath, there’s one downstairs – don’t be put off by the tea-coloured water as washing in filtered river water is amazing and leaves your skin and hair super soft. The house has been tastefully renovated in keeping with its history, with many of the old mill workings retained as features. The two kitchens are simple and basic, but have all you need. The owners are friendly and helpful and always at the end of a phone (no problem with mobile signal). They have helpful suggestions for trips – we recommend the palace at San Ildelfonso, go when the fountains are on (twice a week, usually). Rascafria is a charming town, great for a morning coffee and buying provisions and some interesting walks start just opposite the Monastery there. Segovia is also only an hour away over the mountain pass, and brim full of history. We’re definitely coming back!

Summary: We live a busy city life and we decided to take a mid-week to the Watermill to slow down, spend time on recharging our batteries, on restoring our relationship, enjoy being together.... sitting...in front of the fireplace....long conversations, it was very nice like we used to do. This place is inviting to connect to nature, prepare the wood for the fireplace, meditate, nice long walks, romantic restaurants, the day we stayed "home" we even caught 2 river trouts! The old Watermill is very tastefully restored, good quality beds, the owner is friendly and reliable. I can totally recommend it

Summary: Had a wonderful stay at Pattie and Lee's house. It was very private and the setting was beautiful. The house was immaculate, the kitchen appliances were first rate, and the beds very comfortable. There were all sorts of games etc. for entertainment. We had two toddlers and they enjoyed the pool and fishing on the dock. They even caught some fish. We hope to come back next year.

Summary: My business had decided to setup a brainstorming session at this wonderful location. For once they got it spot on! As a result of this experience I then returned with the family and some friends to spend an entire week. It was brilliant! Calm, beautiful, relaxing... mother nature at its best. With a couple of quaint towns nearby, and with Madrid not more than an hour away, you have everything you need. The watermill itself has been restored with great taste, and always respecting the original structure. I recommend it to everybody to wants a taste of nature.

Summary: We spent a truly fantastic week at the Watermill. The Watermill has been very thoughtfully restored providing extremely spacious and comfortable accomodation with each bedroom offering its own character and all having the most glorious views. Our party ranged over 3 generations from a boistrous 3 year old to an energetic 82 year old and the Watermill catered for us all. The location means that you feel that you are truly in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by open space and glorious views, yet in no time at all you are back on main roads and able to speed into Madrid. We were particularly impressed by the birds which we were able to admire - eagles were regular sightings and the beautiful Hoopo. The remarkable stork nests nearby made fascinating viewing. By the end of the holiday our 3 year old was able to identify each and has since shown a real interest in learning more about bird watching. I can no recommend this wonderful location highly enough. To complete the delight Frank is one of the most welcoming hosts I have met since travelling through HomeAway.

Summary: We've just come back from a 3-day get-away in one of the most beautiful areas of Spain I have ever been. My friends, and I, a group of 5 couples regularly go off on weekend trips together. This I have to say has beenthe most gratifying trip we've ever done together. The house was incredibly comfortable for all 10 of us. Each bedroom had it's own bathroom as well as a living room on each floor in case you wanted your space. What was absolutely amazing was the idilic, fairytale surroundings at less than an hour from Madrid! Some of us spent the mornings walking around the most beautiful green, hilly paths, full of flowers and butterflies, while others rode their bikes or made barbecues. In short, we didn't want to leave! This is definitely a trip we will repeat! Highly recommended!

Summary: Spent the past weekend at Andrew's Private Getaway for a girls weekend!!! First off this place is private but still close enough to get to wherever you need to. Pattie & Lee are the most wonderful down to earth people you could meet. So welcoming and helpful you feel like you are guests of theirs in every sense. Up...on entering the home the first thing you notice is how clean it is. Just beautiful and airy!! The kitchen has top of the line appliances, dishes, pots and pans, coffee maker etc. everything you need when renting a house that you usually have to bring or buy!!! The 5 bedrooms (yes 5) all walkout to the either the upstairs porch or the lower level deck and they all have top of the line bedding and tv's. The bathrooms are beautiful and extremely clean!!!!! The amenities are awesome 2 inground pools, a sauna, hot tub, 2 boat docks, shuffleboard, pool table, there is also an array of board games. We enjoyed playing games on the covered deck in the evening. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone and the house is perfect for large families everyone will have something to do.
