Stylish Retreat in the Lakes

helpful teamgood sizesteep steps
Alex and her team. The staff fussed over our large Golden Retriever. Our dog-friendly family room was a good size. The facilities were all in very good condition.
Our room was changed unexpectedly, and it was not up to standard. The small double bed and bathroom were up two fairly steep steps. Navigating the steps at night was tricky.

Breakfast was plentiful and quite delicious. The breakfast conservatory provided a lovely area. I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast sausages served separately for our dogs, they were a thoughtful touch.
