Reviewers Mention About Lakes Hotel & Spa

Guests at Lakes Hotel and Spa had a fantastic experience, with warm and personalized service from the staff. The rooms were spacious and well-equipped, providing a comfortable retreat. The spa facili (Read More)ties were a highlight, although noise from other guests was a minor disturbance. The massage received was excellent, and the breakfast spread was extensive. Overall, the hotel exceeded expectations, offering a rejuvenating getaway with a few minor hiccups.

Absolutely amazing just lacking on breafast and car charging points

Absolutely loved the setting and location. Saff were amazing too

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay absolutely amazing. But We do think there is always room for improvement on anything. We stayed in a penthouse suite and the bathroom was basic and small dont really need the bath in our eyes with having the hotub outside a wetroom with a bigger basin or a wortop would of been perfect, we thought the shower was not great the shower head was really low on pressure, the basin didnt drain properly and there was quite a few marks all over the walls by the bed. We paid 375 for 1 night and that didnt include breakfast which we found out on the morning (not sure if i should of booked it). Later we were charged 30 for the breakfast if id of known i would of saved our money and gone a cafe. The food was really below average for us. My partner only had a bit of cereal so was quite upset we had to pay full price. We came in an electric car too so it would be nice if the hotel could get some charging points fitted in the future. To recap we were blown away by the place. But we did pay alot for one night to have poor food in the morning which we had to pay for on top of an expensive room. Thus saying all this we would definitely stay again just a few things could be perfected in our eyes for an absolutely perfect night away.

Relax and beautiful stay

We absolutely loved the hotel. Every thing looks great, it is clean and everything you need is close by in the hotel. It is also a short walk to the lake and the town. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We would recommend and come again (soon hopefully). We stayed in one of the suites and the hot tubs were brilliant and we had a great view from our balcony. We also did a couple full body massage and it was the best massage we had.

These are only minor call outs but if I wanted to share them. On the first morning at breakfast it was really busy and there was a lot of people waiting to be seated. I think if the hotel know they are busy, they aim (I know you cant always do this as people are difficult) to pin people to arrive to breakfast at a time slot to stagger how busy it is. Seen this work at other places. I also felt another set of towels should of been provided if you are in a hot tub room, as you are using towels to dry off after the tub and also showers so we had wet towels quite often. Lastly the mattress wasnt super comfortable but it was fine still. As I say, minor call outs and overall we loved the hotel.

Nice, relaxing luxury hotel which is 3-4 mins walk from Lake Windermere - ideal!

Staff were super nice and friendly, spa was excellent with plenty of variety inside. Room was nice, very comfortable and warm with plenty of space. We stayed in the 2 bed apartment which was ideally located above the hotel pub and next door to the spa so we didn't need to leave the building. My wife and 10 year old son loved the pool and spa facilities. Would definitely come back again!

The only points to raise if I was being picky was the lack of coat hanging space in the apartment and door stops needed as doors spring shut. The second night was difficult to find car parking space as the hotel was so busy. Staff helped and offered options which was sorted out without issue.

Very good

Breakfast tables were too close to each other

The fact that when you were in the Pub all that you could smell was the spa and to get to the spa you had to walk through the pub. Bizarre set up

Overall a very enjoyable stay and I'm sure we will be back,

The staff were the best part of our stay here, always helpful and very friendly, on one evening when it was raining they even drove us down to the village in the Bentley.

If I had to pick fault it would be maybe a set of drawers in the bedroom as the wardrobe was a bit messy with our stuff, also for our taste the spa was too dim, maybe a little lighter.

Loved every minute of our stay - hotel was outstanding, hot tub in the room was perfect. Plenty of options to suit your needs, we loved the cocktail bar on an evening. 100% would stop again in the near future!

Cannot fault anything - the whole hotel was spotless.

Was a delightful break!

I liked the facilities, location of hotel and the friendly staff.

Having to pay for parking (without being told previously), we had to walk outside to access the spa and the drinks were very expensive.

Regretted booking from the second we entered the seedy overcrowded spa

The location was the only good thing about this place, and the gent who showed us to our room Mark was very nice.

BE VERY WEARY OF BOOKING DURING WEEKENDS OR HOLIDAY PERIODS The hotel room and staff are fine. But the spa itself which was our main reason for booking the stay and I suspect many other peoples reason to stay, are unsuitably small for the size of the hotel. We arrived to find standing room only in the spa and when we explained to reception that we didnt feel the experience was justifying the price we had paid. They politely offered the fact that the spa is not a chargeable extra as a justification for it not being available for us to use in a comfortable ways. The amount of people crammed into the spa had very much a Benidorm factor about it, we arent the sort to complain but genuinely feel the hotel and spa name is completely misleading so assume hotel room only when booking your stay and if youre still happy with the rate then go ahead but if youre planning a spa day you might be in for an unpleasant surprise like we were. We very much feel like the room rate factored in the cost of using the spa facilities comfortably. But this was not the case. The prices for the holiday period had been hiked up but sadly the facilities did not allow for the experience wed expected or that the cost would suggest I very much expect a well written, well thought out response from the hotel to this review but from one genuine customer to another. Give it a wide berth if youre looking for a spa hotel and go to somewhere that can accommodate rather than somewhere happy to take your booking but quick to fob you off when you express polite and truthful disappointment about your experience.
