Lakeside Hotel & Spa

Lakeside Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"First impressions were good. Room & bathroom clean. Got very warm during the night even though there was no heating on. Shame the main dining room wasn't open on Monday/Tuesday it looked a better menu choice than the brasserie. Overall staff were polite but the attitude during breakfast was generally unattentive & brusk. Would I go back? Probably"

Beech Hill Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fabulous 2 nights stay at the hotel, and we had a room with a hot tub which was fantastic. The spa facilities were excellent, very relaxing and well maintained. We had breakfast and dinner on both days which again was excellent, plenty of choice. All staff were very friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as it was. The only thing that was missing was somewhere to hang wet towels etc in the room especially with us having a hot tub. We could have done with hooks behind the door or on the bathroom wall, not a complaint, just a suggestion."

"A great overnight stop en route to Scotland. Wonderfully peaceful location with great walks around the hotel grounds. As others have mentioned do not take the direct sat nav guided route when you first leave the motorway. Follow the road to the A6 and enter from that direction otherwise you will be negotiating large potholes coming in the back way."

"The hotel was very well maintained and super clean one of the nicest hotels we’ve ever stayed in the Uk, the staff went above and beyond and were very accommodating they kept our luggage as we planned a hike and the breakfast was lovely too.
