Made a mistake when booking and ordered a twin instead of a double. Staff could not have been more helpful - told us to go to dinner and they moved all our luggage to a different room. Excellent customer service!

Weary?

Yikes. Lots of kids and weird people on their way to the spa with not enough clothes on; avert your eyes or rip them out. Unable to book an evening meal on arrival, but that was a blessing in retrospect because the breakfasts were not enjoyable - food from under the hot-lights. We thought the hotel was in need of modernisation and decoraration. Nothing to do with good order, we just found it weary.

Lovely one night stay

Just enjoyed a lovely one night stay the hotel looks very bland from the outside but once you get indoor the decor is lovely. we paid £15 each to use the spa facilities definitely worth it we made good use of it during our stay my wife booked herself in for a massage. Room was very good lovely comfortable bed with all the amenities coffee machine, iron, ironing board, hairdryer etc. The only thing I would pull it on is the shower can become very slippy from the soap or shower gel. We didn’t have our evening meal in the restaurant but we did have breakfast plenty of choice from usual breakfast items to pancakes and pastries. Overall it was a lovely would definitely stay here again.

Better inside than out and food could've been warm

The very warm room let it down slightly.. comfy mattresses, closeness to the town in walking distance was good, food was great with a huge portion albeit just warm, service was good. The appearance of the hotel inside was much better than the outside gave you to believe on arrival.

Perfect family stop over

We recently stayed at the North Lakes Hotel & Spa as a stopover on our journey from Scotland to England, and it was a fantastic experience. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the family room was perfect for us. The children were thrilled to find named biscuits and their own welcome packs waiting on arrival – such a thoughtful touch! One of my personal highlights was the fresh milk machine just outside our room, which made bedtime bottles for the kids super easy. The room was spacious, tastefully decorated, and catered really well to our family’s needs. While the hotel was incredibly child-friendly overall, we did find the restaurant a bit tricky – it was lovely but hard to get a reservation, and it didn’t feel quite as geared towards families as the rest of the hotel. That said, we would absolutely return and highly recommend it for anyone travelling with children – it made our long journey so much more enjoyable and comfortable.

Lovely stay, shocked to pay £25 for 1pm check in

We stayed overnight as we were at wedding being held there. The wedding started at 3pm, we asked if we could check in early so we could get ready before the wedding so we didn't get our clothes creased during the hour drive to the hotel. We had to pay an extra £25 to get checked in at 1pm. The amount we paid for the room and the amount my friend paid for her daughters wedding i was shocked at how much was charged. However, the room was lovely, we equiped and very comfortable bed. We thoroughly enjoyed the wedding and our stay
