I had an amazing stay at The Lakes Hotel and Spa. From the moment we arrived and were greeted with a glass of prosecco, everything was exceptional. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the food at the hotel was delicious. The spa was a real highlight – one of the best in the Lake District. It had a great range of steam rooms, saunas, Jacuzzis, and you can even enjoy drinks by the pool, which was a great touch. The location is perfect too – just a 5-minute walk from the town centre and the lake. There’s a fantastic range of restaurants inside the hotel offering everything from Asian cuisine to classic pub food, plus some great cocktail bars inside the hotel as well as in city centre.

Lovely spa hotel in the heart of Bowness

Great fourth stay at this hotel. Location is perfect a two minute stroll into the centre of Bowness. Very clean with Elmis products in the bathroom and spa, and scented diffusers throughout. Got upgraded from a snug room to a family one which meant an extra bedroom and small seating area with three different views out of the windows. Could have done with extra storage space in the other bedroom. Spa is lovely and you can order drinks from the bar from the little serving window, but be prepared as it’s quite dark. Gowns,slippers and towels all provided in your room, or get extra towels from the barman as you sign in, Breakfast is amazing and well with £10 each we paid, quality bacon,sausages and black pudding,which was a treat and not something I would usually eat. Overall still a lovely hotel and I would return. but maybe a bit tired in places with stains on the communal furniture downstairs.

This was our second visit to the hotel and we can't wait for a third trip. From the moment you arrive you feel like you are a VIP and Mark the concierge is amazing, such an asset to the hotel. After being welcomed with a glass of fizz and a tour of the hotels facilities Mark leaves you to relax at your own pace, he even shows you to your room once it is ready. The suite with hot tubs are unreal, we haven't stayed anywhere like it anywhere else. The restaurants and cocktail lounge are all fantastic and the spa is a very laid back relaxing area where you feel at ease instantly. Food was gorgeous, we had tapas in the cocktail lounge for lunch, the evening meal in Mizumi was gorgeous and breakfast was excellent. We can't wait to stay again. Thank you all.
