Fantastic hotel. Booked through lastminute.com, as a "top secret" hotel- only get told star rating and rough location, so a bit of a lucky dip. Only £110 for 2 for B&B though so worth the risk. Staff absolutely brilliant, we were a bit concerned hotel was a bit posh for us when we arrived, but welcoming friendly staff made us... more

After viewing all the other reviews of this hotel I contemplated not bothering with this review but I believe that if people do something so well then they should be congratulated. My wife and I returned to the hotel towards the end of May after our first visit in January this year. With so much accommodation available in the Lakes... more

My husband and I spent a night at the Lakeside the day after our wedding. We wanted to get away for a night to celebrate and the hotel made that possible. The room was small but very tasteful. The bathroom had obviously been re-fitted recently, and was very smart. We ate in the main restaurant for evening meal and breakfast,... more

We stayed for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed this hotel. From the moment you arrive the staff are warm and friendly. The lounge areas are welcoming and beautifully furnished with comfy sofas and open fires. There is also a small pub - which is lovely and cosy with wood panelling. The large conservatory area over looking the lake is perfect... more

We've been coming to The Lakeside for years, mainly for business, sometimes for family breaks and always for rest and relaxation.

Occasionally the food... more
