Lock in a great price for Regent Hotel By The Lake – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

We felt we were sharing someone's home rather than a hotel. The owners were there quietly supporting their staff by working along side. How a family run business should be.

Robert, United Kingdom

The hotel is 30 yards from the lake separated by a road but there is vertually no traffic at night. Many rooms overlook a central courtyard which at this time of year has magnificent hanging baskets. Other room have lovely views of the lake. Breakfast is excellent. The bar meals are good value and are now also available outside in a newly created area with views of the lake.

Margaret, United Kingdom

A lovely place, nice staff, great breakfast and a very pleasant terrace to have coffee in the sun. I would stay again.

Mike, United Kingdom

“Overall a very good hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉We paid extra to be upgraded to a superior room but these are set apart from the hotel. It's not pleasant to have to walk to breakfast in the rain, plus the rooms have 'views' over the car park so it felt more like an American motel in that regard. Had I known this in advance I would not have paid the extra. The hotel is quite a long walk from the town but is very convenient for the waterside activities.
눇Best breakfast we have had in a UK hotel. Fabulous staff, service and food.

눉Our particular room was too hot, even without the heating on and being along the roadside it was quite noisy having the window open in the evening but was quiet enough over night. However it had an aircon unit fitted so we managed. Probably not an issue in winter!
눇A lovely place, nice staff, great breakfast and a very pleasant terrace to have coffee in the sun. I would stay again.

눉The window of my room was under an air outlet of the kitchen fume hood. A unpleasant smell came to my room from the this outlet . My room smelled like fried fish every afternoon. I think it was room number 6. The hotel is next to a road where is very dense car traffic from the early morning to the evening.
눇Excellent service in the restaurant, tasty breakfast. The surrounding countryside is absolutely breathtaking.

“Amazing location and friendly staff...will definitely be back!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Single Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Room was small...I know as a single person I expect this but there really was no where for me to set my suitcase out without bumping or tripping over it. The one thing I would suggest they fix are the availability of plugs on the table....they were too near the table and could not get my plug in!
눇Staff were very helpful and friendly...even met me when I advised of my very late check in. Breakfast had a great selection and well cooked..would definitely recommend the cooked breakfast. Bed was comfortable and room spotless.
