A beautiful Hotel, with large, beautifully furnished rooms. Our bedroom at the top of the stairs was lovely, roomy and had garden and sea views. A comfortable night's sleep and a great breakfast the next morning, which set us up for the day's travel. Unfortunately our Host, whilst pleasant, didn't really make us feel especially welcome, which was a shame.... More

Had a weekend break here with friends encouraged by the reports of badgers on the terrace. It is in a very peaceful location and near the sea. It is a really beautifully furnished hotel. There are three very comfy lounges for use of guests and a really beautiful garden. It has a good car park at the back. The rooms... More

Just returned from a weekend at The Lake Hotel and not sure how to judge it. The ground floor lounges and garden are great. Our bedroom was fine and very quiet. The bathroom was a bit small.

Lovely house, public rooms well decorated. Single room best described as compact, no idea how long tea, coffee and whitener had been on the tray, but I binned it. Didn't feel particularly welcomed.

Just returned from a two night stay. We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at The Lake Hotel, a warm welcome from Richard and Carol who were very easy to talk to. The property was elegant and tastefully decorated, immaculately kept. Bed very comfy, breakfast excellent. Oh, and the dog enjoyed it too! Mr and Mrs S. New Forest, Hampshire.

My husband spent a very 'chilled' weekend in the relaxing surroundings of The Lake Hotel following a conference there. It made the perfect conference venue - plenty of space in beautiful rooms, which overlook the delightful garden, with walks along the coast just a few minutes away. Having welcomed us warmly into their home, we were looked after superbly by... More
