Very friendly staff. Hotel is a bit tired but the room was fine and the restaurant had a great selection of vegan choices. Staff couldn't have been more helpful.

The hotel is conveniently located right by the A2, there’s plenty of parking, quick and seamless check-in and great lake views. The staff is friendly, helpful and facilitated a complimentary late checkout.
The room itself is a bit dated but clean and soundproof. Decent stay overall!
Stayed here many times. Love the hotel staff are so friendly. Our room is always clean and comfortable. Love the choice of a breakfast or a packed lunch brilliant fit when we are going out for the day.
Excellent staff in reception, bar and restaurant. Very friendly and welcoming. Bedroom and bathroom adequate, very clean but a bit dated. Breakfast was very good. Lots of choice and well cooked.
I stayed at Inn on the Lake and had a really good experience. The hotel is in a beautiful location next to the lake, which makes it very peaceful and relaxing. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the stay. I really enjoyed the calm atmosphere and would definitely recommend it to other travellers looking for a quiet place to stay.
Business friendly, large rooms with a good desk for laptop use.

Excellent dog friendly hotel. The hotel is next to a busy road so highly recommend booking a lakeside room which are much quieter, large and have a good view. Whilst the hotel is quite tired, for the price we paid and service we received, it represents good value. Meals in the bar well priced too.
Good place to stay very nice view as we had a lakeside room.disapointed with the restaurant menu pizzas and fried food or microwave food nothing suitable for diabetics. Overall though good value for money good size rooms down fall they allow dogs so there were dog hairs in the room

Lake view is nice and Rooms are a good size , but very dated. Wafer thin pillows and very poor shower pressure. Would be fine if paying £40-50 per night but at £90 was overpriced.
