8/10 Very good

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.

Missed the mark - unless the mark is Instagram
I’ve been wanting to stay here for a long time so when another booking fell through and there was one room available at The Lakes it felt like it was meant to be. Our room was very comfortable despite being what was nicely described by concierge as “bijou” and was beautifully decorated. The staff we encountered at reception, concierge and the pub were all fabulous. Really friendly and helpful so I can’t rate them enough. So why only 3 stars? Despite The Lakes being VERY instagrammable - Bentley with a personalised number plate ready to ferry guests around, a spa lit all in low blue lighting, stunning Christmas decorations and views over the lake, the hotel misses those simple things that you’d expect of somewhere boasting the above bragging rights. Empty shampoo and shower gel at the spa meaning you couldn’t have a post spa shower, the spa was accessible through the pub which meant going through the pub in robes, the spa being freezing - hot tub was more like a bubbly plunge pool, everything was self service at breakfast - even coffee which for a hotel with its own Bentley seems completely juxtaposed. It feels like a case of style over substance which was really disappointing for us.

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.
