Perfect family stop over

We recently stayed at the North Lakes Hotel & Spa as a stopover on our journey from Scotland to England, and it was a fantastic experience. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the family room was perfect for us. The children were thrilled to find named biscuits and their own welcome packs waiting on arrival – such a thoughtful touch! One of my personal highlights was the fresh milk machine just outside our room, which made bedtime bottles for the kids super easy. The room was spacious, tastefully decorated, and catered really well to our family’s needs. While the hotel was incredibly child-friendly overall, we did find the restaurant a bit tricky – it was lovely but hard to get a reservation, and it didn’t feel quite as geared towards families as the rest of the hotel. That said, we would absolutely return and highly recommend it for anyone travelling with children – it made our long journey so much more enjoyable and comfortable.

Lovely stay, shocked to pay £25 for 1pm check in

We stayed overnight as we were at wedding being held there. The wedding started at 3pm, we asked if we could check in early so we could get ready before the wedding so we didn't get our clothes creased during the hour drive to the hotel. We had to pay an extra £25 to get checked in at 1pm. The amount we paid for the room and the amount my friend paid for her daughters wedding i was shocked at how much was charged. However, the room was lovely, we equiped and very comfortable bed. We thoroughly enjoyed the wedding and our stay

Expedia booking did not make it clear that use of the gym was not included in the price I had paid. I had booked the hotel because it had a gym I thought I could use. When checking in I was told I could only use the gym if I paid an additional £15. This is not what I was expecting

Somewhat obsessed with booking me in for breakfast 3+ days in advance of staying, Dir to availability, and it didn’t reach 50% capacity. WiFi in the room was poor, which hindered me working and watching a movie. Comfortable stay, lovely bar and fireplace area.

Appearances are only surface-deep

It’s appears that this Hotel must be struggling financially. They charge £15 per head for use of their pool and this is only shown in the fine print. The shampoo in your room is available for purchase at £26 a bottle but these aren’t new bottles - guests before you have also used them. Charging more than £50 for shampoo and conditioner is simply an insane price. The robes have supermarket-style antitheft devices on them, again suggesting a problem with cost management. The walls were so thin we could hear the guy next door coughing all night and at 6am kids were running up and down the hallway shouting like they were in a Travelodge. There were hotels nearby which were 30% cheaper which might have been a better choice.
