Another great stay…
Just returned from an amazing trip to the Lakes Hotel and Spa for the second time this year to celebrate my birthday. Looked forward to seeing Benn and Katalina again who treated us so well, as per previously, and remembered us too 😊. Enjoyed the spa facilities and overall great visit although the bedroom could have been warmer and the burgers in the pub weren’t great but soon rectified with an alternative.
