Very good

We had a fab time in the spa and hired a boat on the lake. The hotel is lovely, all the staff are very helpful and engaging, incredibly friendly. We will definitely return and recommend it. Thank you!!
Low Wood Bay is a lovely hotel with amazing facilities. The room was spot on, restaurants top notch and spa facilities excellent. The only criticism I’d have is that even as a resident you need to pay extra to use the outdoor pool and hot tubs - that was a bit cheeky and also steep at £25 per person. It’s not a cheap hotel anyway, which is fine, and is reflected in the quality but not when you have to pay for extras like that.
Let me start by saying thank you to the whole team for making our recent stay so incredible. We were with you last week Wednesday - Friday. We were put in one of the upper level rooms with a partial view of the lake and it was a fantastic room. From our very first interaction with security at the gate, to checking in with David who was excellent, and all of our interactions whilst we were with you, we had a lovely time. We also booked Thermal journey and a treatment each which we had on the Thursday, the spa was equally as impressive. We also had the pleasure of meeting Puppy Holly (and Tim) which was one of my fiancés highlights. Special mention to Mel in the Winander bar who was lovely and we had several conversations with.
We experienced first class service throughout our stay. The hotel was luxurious and well maintained. Every member of staff we came into contact with was both efficient and friendly. On this occasion we only stayed for one night on a B & B tariff. Our room in the main building was quiet, comfortable & well equipped and breakfast the next morning was faultless with plenty of hot and cold options. Can't wait to return.
Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. The Pool area was clean and not too busy. The Blue Smoke restaurant was excellent, great food and good service. The views across the lake were amazing.
Service is poor and staff don’t care. No coffee at breakfast machine broken but one in the lounge was working only yards away so made to pay. Don’t get fooled by facilities. You can only use them a specific times. 7.30-10 am and 5.30 8.30pm. Rip off
Lack of direction. More catered for the spa,I wanted to go outside but was locked, to later find out it was a separate payment?
I would have paid prior
Stay was okay but disappointing. The overall hotel is very nice looking until you get to the rooms at the end of the hotel. The room was very noisy and you could hear the room next door having a normal conversation and any time someone walked near the room you could hear the floors creak. This was not helped by the staff that need to service the rooms had a room opposite ours that was in use a lot. For the price i would not recommend it.
