Another great stay…
Just returned from an amazing trip to the Lakes Hotel and Spa for the second time this year to celebrate my birthday. Looked forward to seeing Benn and Katalina again who treated us so well, as per previously, and remembered us too 😊. Enjoyed the spa facilities and overall great visit although the bedroom could have been warmer and the burgers in the pub weren’t great but soon rectified with an alternative.

Electricity went off for most of the night and all of the morning. We pay for a full day at a time but get refunded by the hour we could not use anything. No phone charged no electricity no lights.

This was my 3rd stay this year alone and there’s a reason for that. The staff are great, so polite, so helpful and just on top of everything. That’s the reception, all the way down to housekeeping who do a fabulous job. Already can’t wait to go back in the new year
