Lake Country House Hotel

I have been coming to the Lake Hotel for many years. It started with a wedding anniversary celebration around 10 years ago and we keep coming back as we have not found a better place to relax. ||It’s the perfect place to unwind- the main house is a large Victorian Country Hotel with lovely antiques- the lounge has a fire with lots of comfy sofas and magazines and the dining room is very elegant and understated. Each guest room is different, (we have stayed in most of them over the years) beautifully decorated, always very comfortable, with gorgeous furnishings, antiques and lovely views over the grounds.||There are extensive grounds, great for walks, we love the large pool and spa- with sauna and steam room and spa treatments.||The food and service are all excellent but the best thing at this family- run hotel is the staff who are so welcoming and friendly – we have got to know them over the years and it’s always lovely to return.

It's fabulous to find hotels like this which allow dogs, and Ben the Sprocker had a great time exploring their extensive grounds. My wife booked a massage before we travelled, and after her 30 minutes she booked a second one of the next day : the Spa has definitely got a lot going for it. We did two trips recommended by the hotel and were very glad we took their advice : it is wonderfully located for exploring this area of mid-Wales. Recommend it? Definitely. More...

My husband and I got married at this lovely hotel 9 years ago. We have been visiting the hotel for the past 10 years and having just returned from our anniversary visit I have to say how this place just gets better and better. The new chef they have on board is a true asset to the place and the food is some of the best we have eaten. All the staff are so friendly and can’t do enough for you. A special mention to Emily on reception who was amazing during our stay. We look forward to seeing you all again very soon. More...

We booked the main house for a special break with another couple to celebrate their wedding anniversary.|The location is beautiful and the welcome fantastic. |We were shown to our suite which was a decent size and was traditionally furnished, with a super comfortable bed. |There is a lovely large lounge with a lovely eclectic mix of furniture and curios with several snugs and alcoves too.|This was a cold weekend, however inside you would not realise - with just the smell of a traditional open fire complementing the atmosphere.|Afternoon tea / coffee with a selection of welsh cakes or scones adds to occasion.|The lounge comes into its own again in the evening to select your choices from the extensive locally sourced menu. This is best contemplated over one of their good selection of gins or a glass of wine!|Each of our evening meals was beautifully presented and was very tasty too.|Following dessert we retired to the lounge once more for coffee and to continue chatting.|I couldn’t fault any of the staff - they were a really nice bunch. It was also lovely for the owner to mingle with guests after breakfast to check that they were enjoying themselves. This happened both mornings.|My only slight negative was being on the top floor, the shower took and age to push through the hot water and the flow rate wasn’t great. However this is an old hotel and the fittings in the bathroom were very acceptable.|Unfortunately 2 nights and a busy Saturday exploring the Elan Valley and the Red Kite feeding, didn’t allow us time to try out the pool or hot tub!|I highly recommend a stay here, however next time we will make it 3 nights!! I understand they have a sister hotel in North Devon which I will aim to try this on a future occasion. More...

This old but thoroughly modernised hotel has a lot going for it : welcoming staff, a beautiful situation, comfortable rooms ( we had a suite ) and very good spa facilities . Breakfasts were good with some unusual choices such as kippers or eggs benedict cooked to order . Dinners were not quite up to the same consistent standard , with rather indifferent steak on one night but quite marvellous halibut on two other occasions . The wine list is extensive but, dare I say it, expensive as well! Would we go again Yes, certainly More...

My partner and I booked for a 2-night, much-needed break. Not only we did have the most perfect time, but we ate some of the most beautiful food we have had (we have a lot to compare to! ), met the friendliest hotel staff team we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting, and are still in awe of the stunning local landscapes. This was the perfect luxury, quiet retreat away from city life and we will be returning as soon as we can! More...

Fantastic hotel and spa, rooms big and spacious, powerful shower, outstanding lounge serving delicious cocktails, gorgeous spa, lovely spa and so many other great things about this place, far too many for me to mention but I suggest you take a look at their webpage it’s very accurate. |If your a walker or stroller the grounds are big enough to have a leisurely walk about, the scenery is great and the gardens exceptionally well kept.|There’s golf, walking, swimming, boating, horse riding nearby again far too much to mention, but it’s got it all.|Oops forgot the restaurant which is outstanding delivering high quality meal and a good selection of wines, breakfast aint half bad either mmmm|Lovely staff who are very polite and helpful, thoroughly recommended.

We had an amazing time. Staff were extremely friendly and made us feel very welcome. Overall a very relaxing and happy experience. We came for the hotel and spa, but fell in love with the surrounding area. Plenty of space for our dog to roam around. Both breakfast and dinner were superb. Whilst dogs are not allowed everywhere, the reception and the lounge was very comfortable for us and our pooch. Make sure to bring cash as you can't tip by card. More...

This hotel has a lovely old fashioned elegant feel and the facilities are bang up to date. Our room was spacious and the modern bathroom luxurious, with views of the gardens, lake, golf links and surrounding countryside. Our only criticism was that the dinner offered was expensive and, although the food was good, portions were small, as was the menu choice. We feel paying per course would be more realistic. Although there was the option of eating lighter courses in the lounge, this was only offered outside of the two hour dinner slot. The staff are professional and friendly but the dinner options need to be revised in order to give guests the 'perfect stay'. We hope to go back, as we would also like to experience the spa, but we didn't have time during our one night stay. More...

Just spent two relaxing days in this beautiful location. Extremely warm welcome on arrival, lovely room overlooking extensive lawns and trees, very comfortable and really luxurious toiletries in bathroom . Food was fabulous, starting with canapés, Amuse-bouche followed by a three course meal, something for everybody’s taste. Wine, I found this was rather expensive but as it was only a two night stay we didn’t mind paying it. We used the pool, jacuzzi etc which was great as the weather was very inclement. I am sorry I didn’t have any treatments in the Spa, maybe next time. The grounds were great consisting of two lakes and nice woodland walks which ran along the river. If the weather had been better, I would have enjoyed exploring more. We noticed the property had tennis courts, golf so there are quite a few activities to participate in. As it rained, we enjoyed just relaxing in the Hotel’s lounge reading and talking to fellow guests. More...
