We have been to the Lakes Hotel & Spa a few times & we always have an amazing stay. The staff are always polite & welcoming, a special thank you to Mark (concierge) he was very helpful! Our room was spotless & had a beautiful view over the lake. The spa was very nice as always, but it was slightly cold on the first day of our visit, the spa had been closed throughout the day for maintenance so possibly couldn’t be helped. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Staff were amazing and very welcoming, with excellent hospitality throughout our stay. The room was spotless and very well maintained. The only downside was that there were no complimentary bottles of water in the room, which was surprising given the hotel’s excellent reviews. I had to go downstairs in the middle of the night to fill a cup with water. Aside from this, we really loved our stay and would happily return.
