6/10 Bagus

Missed the mark - unless the mark is Instagram
I’ve been wanting to stay here for a long time so when another booking fell through and there was one room available at The Lakes it felt like it was meant to be. Our room was very comfortable despite being what was nicely described by concierge as “bijou” and was beautifully decorated. The staff we encountered at reception, concierge and the pub were all fabulous. Really friendly and helpful so I can’t rate them enough. So why only 3 stars? Despite The Lakes being VERY instagrammable - Bentley with a personalised number plate ready to ferry guests around, a spa lit all in low blue lighting, stunning Christmas decorations and views over the lake, the hotel misses those simple things that you’d expect of somewhere boasting the above bragging rights. Empty shampoo and shower gel at the spa meaning you couldn’t have a post spa shower, the spa was accessible through the pub which meant going through the pub in robes, the spa being freezing - hot tub was more like a bubbly plunge pool, everything was self service at breakfast - even coffee which for a hotel with its own Bentley seems completely juxtaposed. It feels like a case of style over substance which was really disappointing for us.
