Not for spa lovers

We had an ok time overall but I wouldn't be booking again or recommending to friends. The apartment was ok, but VERY noisy. I could hear the person in the next room snoring all night! Every step and door openeing and closing clearly heard. Lots of basic items missing from the apartment. Be aware £12 a day parking charge! The spa is more like a swimming pool with a small hot tub and sauna/steam room attached to a pub. You walk through a pub in your robe! If you are into spa's and have been to some nice ones, I'd stay away. Staff are lovely.

We really enjoyed our stay, the hotel was amazing and we loved eating at Mizumi! We couldn’t fault the hotel really (other than we didn’t seem to have much water pressure in our bathroom) and would definitely stay again! The only disappointment was the spa, it was extremely busy so couldn’t really use the facilities, I think the photos make it look bigger than it actually is. It’s lovely, but too small for the number of people that are allowed in!

Absolutely beautiful hotel with a stunning room and hot tub. The only thing that lets it down is the breakfast. In a 5* hotel, I would expect you to be able to order your eggs as you’d like them to go with the buffet style breakfast.

Lakes Hotel and Spa

Nice greeting on arrival and being shown to our room. Excellent location and feel of the place. Lovely facilities, although we didn't take advantage of the spa. Staff in the cocktail bar could be more attentive. Having to wait in a very empty lounge area for well over 10 mins, then having to go and ask to have drinks is poor. Food however was of a good standard.
