Absolutely beautiful hotel with a stunning room and hot tub. The only thing that lets it down is the breakfast. In a 5* hotel, I would expect you to be able to order your eggs as you’d like them to go with the buffet style breakfast.

Lakes Hotel and Spa

Nice greeting on arrival and being shown to our room. Excellent location and feel of the place. Lovely facilities, although we didn't take advantage of the spa. Staff in the cocktail bar could be more attentive. Having to wait in a very empty lounge area for well over 10 mins, then having to go and ask to have drinks is poor. Food however was of a good standard.

Had a lovely time & really enjoyed the hotel. Great for relaxing with the spa on site & 3 great places to eat on site, we would return. However, we stayed in the Penthouse & thought this could benefit from the following; 1. Ensuring the water in the shower is a power shower (not the greatest) & the water temperature is a little erratic with scolding hot most of the time, water sometimes stopping altogether. 2. Hooks on the wall as you go in to hang coats. 3. Hooks on the back of the bathroom door As very little storage 4. A coffee machine & fridge needed 5. Larger safe. The safe was not big enough to put iPads in. All the above we would expect from a 5 star Penthouse

Fabulous hotel

When we arrived we were upgraded to a rooftop suite with hot tub, the room was absolutely fabulous, we were shown around all the facilities and then left to enjoy our stay, all the staff were very attentive nothing was to much, very friendly and approachable. I would highly recommend this hotel! Breakfast was amazing, we did venture into the spa not that we needed to as we had a hot tub but the clientele was not the best bit rowdy for our liking! The Pub was welcoming, food was fantastic all in all a great stay in a beautiful part of the country, will definitely be returning.

Good location, Very helpful staff and good service in general. Great bar, although super busy and slow service. Spa is not connected to the main building and can be an interesting adventure walking cross the car park to get there. Shame there are so many plastic flowers in the rooms and everywhere. We stayed in the Bowness Suite with Hot Tub. The Room was very very basic. Uncomfortable pillows. No Mini Bar/fridge. Smallest wardrobe for clothes and basic and small en suite. The sofa in our room was unfortunately dirty. The room had limited view which was a bonus. We dinned at the restaurant and we personally didn't like the food , It was served cold and not palatable. Spoke to a couple, table next to us and decided to go to a restaurant locally with them after as they could not eat their food that was served either.
