Summary: Bar is very small and food poor, went to bed without eating

Summary: While this hotel excels in service, the bedding was obviously extremly old and yellow, the pillows old and flat, i would not stay here again. I spent the night being watched by the moost enormous spider!

Summary: Stayed 2 nights for a family get-together. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Large comfortable room.

Summary: Very friendly and helpful service, great sized bedrooms with a wonderful view (if you pay for the lake view...) made it a very serene stay at The Inn on the Lake. A perfect example of why you don't "judge a book by it's cover!" The front of the hotel overlooks the very busy A2, and the interiors (hallways and bedrooms) could do with some updating, but the rooms are huge and if you pay for a lake view room you get a wonderful view of the lake(s) and all of the wildlife that comes with it. The service was excellent throughout my stay and the bar was well stocked with a good selection of drinks. The food was decent; breakfast was a selection of cereals and fruit with the option of cooked and evening meals had a good selection of meals. They also have an on-site masseuse, but I never got the time to try. Overall I had a very relaxing stay, whether sipping a pint overlooking the lake after a day at work or waking up and watching the ducks waddle about from my room with a morning cuppa and would recommend to anyone looking for a little breakaway in the area... Just ignore the view out the front

Summary: Hotel dated but large rooms and clean. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Bar staff very friendly. Meal was good value and tasty. Breakfast was a complete let down. Watered down orange juice. Cooked breakfast was okay. Cheap ingredients and some of it was cold. Would have expected better quality for the price of our overnight stay.

Summary: Nice little place if you want to take a break from driving. Although it's just off the main road, you can barely hear the traffic on the road. The veranda area outside the rooms could do with a clean, and a barrier to stop the ducks coming on to it.

Summary: The staff were very friendly and no noise from the very busy A2 but that’s sadly the only positive thing I can say. The room; the smallest tv I think I have ever seen in a hotel room, about 24 inches. No pictures, no sofa or chairs to sit on. And no one wants to lay on a bed when you’re back in the room. The double bed was more like a large single. The hairdryer didn’t work so luckily I’d bought mine. There were 2 overhead lamps but one bulb didn’t work properly and one of the shades was cracked in multiple places. The room didn’t have air con but a fan above the main ceiling light. When we switched the fan on so much dust and fluff flew off, it definitely hadn’t been cleaned for a long time,if ever. There was also wallpaper peeling from the walls in places. The bathroom; we had a family room for 3 people but they only provided enough towels for 2 people. The enamel was peeling from the bath and looked rusty. There was a sign asking for nothing to be put down the toilet apart from paper but there was no bin in the bathroom or main room. I seriously didn’t not want to spend the night there and wouldn’t come back. It was not homely at all and a lot of improvements need to be made to thoroughly modernise.

Summary: Staff were brilliant, breakfast lovely. Condition of the hotel is very dated and needs some investment.

Summary: Great place to stay on our trip to the channel tunnel. Fabulous views of the lake. Delicious food at the hotel
Wynter Jul 19, 2025 01:04:57 AM
Summary: Lovely calming location with the lake and ducks. Staff professional except for 1 male named Steve sho caused me distress with his aggressiveness and rudeness when he wrongly accused me of my dog barking. Told him he shoukd give me an apology. He just ignored me. Very poor customer service. All the other staff were great
