Stayed for a birthday weekend at this beautiful hotel, from the minute we walked through the door we where greeted with a smile and a warm welcome from Lesley on reception, she took us through everything and showed us to our from all with a constant smile, we had a cosy double with a hot tub and the room was stunning not small at all, we went for a walk into the centre which was lovely and prob took 7 mins, breakfast at the hotel was a standard help yourself buffet but again had everything you needed, staff at breakfast where friendly and welcoming. We used the spa which was lovely and we also ate lunch in the pub which was nice as well, again all staff we spoke to in the pub/spa where welcoming and very friendly, we went into the cocktail bar for drinks and where helped by Taylor and Findlay who where fab so chatty and helpful, we checked out the next morning after another lovely breakfast and organised a taxi to go back up station which unfortunately didn’t show, I was stressing a little but Alicia and Monika on reception sorted it by organising for Carl to drive us to the station, nothing is a problem for the staff at this hotel. The hotel is beautiful and I would return in a heartbeat, the stand out at this hotel for me is the staff, only once before have I been on a trip where every single staff member I encountered genuinely wanted to help you and make sure you where having the best time the staff working at this hotel really are amazing. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Overall a very nice stay, staff all very friendly, welcome prosecco on arrival, trip in bentley which was nice, friend said spa was amazing although abit busy at times. only downside i didnt like is cost of cocktails were very expensive and over priced so didnt have any as refused to pay £15-18 for 1 drink. cocktails should be around £8-12. also my bed had two large dips in it which was noticeable so shame they didnt change mattress before i arrived and dips dont just appear over night for the price you pay you expect a nice mattress. This was springy and cheap. Not sure if i would return on not as i say overall was a nice stay but those little things let it down

Spa is fantastic and the restaurant on site was really nice. We had a hot tub room with a balcony. Clean and tidy. Nice cocktails/drinks and staff are really friendly. Only gripe is paying £10 for parking somewhere that has an open air on site car park and the beds are horrendous.

This is an excellent hotel. Very welcoming from when we arrived at the gate, having prosecco when we checked in and then a guided tour of the hotel. Amazing room with a hotel tub, great cocktails and a wonderful breakfast. Would definitely return one day. If I had a minor feedback for improvement for the hotel it would be add a shelf for towels in the room (the heated towel rail often had wet bathing suits on it) and consider some complementary snacks served with the cocktails or coffee.

Our new favourite place.
Our stay at the Lakes Hotel and Spa was everything that we hoped it would be. It was the perfect location for me to propose to my fiancé. The check-in was efficient and the staff were very polite and welcoming, the food and drinks staff/service couldn't be faulted. We cannot fault any aspect of our stay, only that we didn't stay longer!

Welcome on arrival at the gate and reception was really lovely. Excellent service being shown round really gave a fabulous first impression. Breakfast was lovely. The service in the bar was very slow, not very attentive. Bar and pub menu the same would have been nice to have a few more food options. Very disappointing to have to pay for parking, this was unclear at booking. Reception explained if we had booked direct parking included. I never been charged car parking at a hotel I’m staying at regardless of how I booked. This is poor.

We had a wonderful stay in a hut tub room. Very private and relaxing. Walking distance from all amenities, bars, shops and boat trips. We had our evening meal at Mizumi restaurant which was delicious. I would highly recommend both the hotel and restaurant. Excellent value for money.
