North Lakes Hotel And Spa

North Lakes Hotel And Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Really clean and well presented hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful and hotel was well laid out. Excellent gym and pool and the food was fantastic both at breakfast and dinner. Unfortunately no EV charging and dogs were allowed in the restaurant (a family were actually feeding their dog at breakfast!). These are minor issues for a really nice hotel however."

8/10 Good
"A solid stay at this lovely hotel, which was our halfway point home after a trip to Scotland. The food quality was really good, very enjoyable, and the room was great - the bed felt like sleeping on a cloud, it was so comfortable. The only reason I haven't given it five stars is that there was room for improvement, although it was a very healthy standard and we would stay again. Our reception welcome couldn't be faulted, the staff were great. However, we waited in the lounge for our dining spot, and although there were staff seemingly not over-busy, there were plates left from other guests untouched in this area which meant it wasn't that pleasant a spot to wait. Communication at breakfast could have been better, although the breakfast was good, and we only had to ask really, but would have liked to have been told if we could have yoghurt/fruit etc from the table. The food, both at evening and breakfast sittings, was very good and worth the price, but the drinks were eyewateringly pricey! Don't let this put you off, it's a lovely place to stay and we enjoyed it. Under the management of the group managing the lovely services, we know they'll sort these very minor issues out as it was clear from the management and systems in place that they are aiming for excellence. We have every confidence they'll achieve it."

Macdonald Leeming House

Macdonald Leeming House

8/10 Good
"We love the Leeming House Hotel, it is sad though that since it was Trust House Forte, it has gradually become tired, some of the exterior paintwork needs urgent work, the gardens are not what they used to be, the rooms are fine, however loving the contemporary furnishings for the period of the house, it is disappointing that it is all a bit tired, some paint could be bought and A Little love put into the building. On the side of service, I am disabled and my wife went downstairs to get some tea at The about four or 430 in the afternoon and she found someone to order it from, because there was no telephone in the room from which to order room service! And she needed two trays of tea as her sister and brother-in-law were going to join us for tea and she was told that was no problem, but it would be £20 to deliver the tea, incredible for a Hotel of that quality to blatantly charge for something that is a normal service is incredible, obviously we were happy to pay for the tea but it was the delivery also my wife asked for some biscuits and they said they didn't have any!! After lunch with my coffee I did ask if there was any chocolate and Jeff the weekend manager who is so nice said they don't have chocolate in the building however he went away and found some delicious home-made shortbread, what happened to that teatime!! The next morning we had a very nice breakfast, although the enjoyment was dampened as my sister-in-law asked for a latte to be told that was an extra charg"
