2 night stay

The hotel staff were amazing, friendly and very helpful. We had a room upgrade from ground floor to 236. The room was quite basic, no fridge, the shower was so weak and water took awhile to heat up however the bed was very comfy. There were cobwebs in the bathroom corner ceilings and the mirror was a little dusty. On the 2nd night, the balcony below the window (outside hot tub) were very loud with music on and kept us up until 1.30. The spa was overcrowded and couldnt get a seat. The hotel had lovely touches with a bentley for a ride into the village and umbrellas at the door which we used. Breakfast was really good too plenty of choice.

This is the third time we have stayed at the Lakes Hotel and Spa, on this occasion it was our first year anniversary and they really made a big deal of it. We went to the cocktail terrace, which had some really delicious cocktails (personally would recommend the lake’s tiramisu), and then we had a relaxing couple of hours in the stunning spa, which has great facilities. Finally, the private hot tub on the balcony makes the trip special, and is one of the main reasons we have gone back.

Great hotel. Staff all lovely. Great cocktail Bar overlooking the lake which also does food. On site restaurant mizumi is excellent. Great atmosphere. It was nice to have an evening where we didn’t need to leave the hotel. The only points for improvement would be the bathroom could do with modernising and having a walk in shower and the superior room we had could have done with a set of drawers as we felt this was lacking. That being said we would definitely book again. We had a great visit
