Lakes Hotel and Spa

Lakes Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Me and my partner stayed at the lakes spa hotel for my 21st birthday we entered the hotel reception to a warm welcome by all staff, the staff can’t no enough for you from the moment you drive into the hotel (from start to finish) the room was beautiful we have a complimentary room upgrade to a Windermere lake view with a floor to ceiling widow that allows you to watch the sun set over the beautiful lake with the most beautiful view from the very spacious balcony with a massive 2 person hot tub. On the evening we went down to the cocktail bar to enjoy our tea where I had a fillet steak with chips mushrooms and tomatoes with Diane sauce and my partner had a sirloin steak with garlic butter and I can say it was the nicest most flavourful food I have ever had and finished our night with some champagne in the hot tub. In the morning we had to go to the spa, the spa was very luxury and tranquil and a very nice space to quiet the mind we then got ready and checked out with a very warm and friendly goodbye. So I would 100% highly recommend coming and having a stay at the lakes spa hotel and I would definitely be returning (I will add photos of our stay and food) (Room decorations where done by my partner)"

"Had an amazing stay here! Brilliant room and lovely club amenities with free cake and coffee and incredible breakfast! Only the inside pool is included so you have to pay £60 for 2 hours in the evening to use the whole spa. I feel like one spa session should be included when paying for club level."

"Although this hotel is basically surrounded by fields, at the outskirts of town and you need a car to get there, they charge 10 pounds for parking. Where else are you to park. That is corporate greed in my opinion. For breakfast my wife and I just wanted to purchase a coffee and a piece of toast or pastry. No such choice possible. It's either a full buffet breakfast for 18 pounds or nothing."
