We had an excellent stay. Breakfast was really fresh and had plenty of choice. The indoor pool was a little cool for my liking but the pool area and spa were fantastic. Didn’t go in the outdoor pool but the grounds around it were lovely and well looked after. Staff were amazing, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The room was slightly dated with a few cracked tiles in the bathroom and wear and tear to the bath and sink. We had lunch and dinner and couldn’t fault the food it was so tasty and the chips were the best I’ve had in a long while. Can’t wait to go back!

We truly had an amazing stay at Balmers Lawn! We got a really good deal for Easter weekend, and it exceeded expectations on every level. The room was only classified as "standard" yet it was huge, lovely big bathroom, and they had put Easter Craft in the room for the kids. Kids can use the swimming pool in the morning and evening, and we had it to ourselves each morning we went! Food was excellent and the staff just so friendly and helpful, everyone was a pleasure to interact with. We are all desperate to go back!
