The Lake Country House Hotel & Spa

We stayed here on a 1 night Dinner B&B stay in a standard double room. The room was an adequate size with 2 comfy chairs, comfy king size bed and a nice view out towards the front of the hotel and the lovely gardens. The desk with stool had a mirror and socket for a hairdryer next to it (big tick from me!). Hairdryer was a salon style and powerful enough to dry my thick hair. The bathroom was spotlessly clean and supplied with nice toiletries but it was tiny, literally just enough room to turn around and the shower pressure (from an over the bath attachment) was quite poor. However since it's an old building (with plumbing to match I suspect) there's probably little that can be done to help this but could make so much better use of the space by replacing the bath with a walk-in shower. The door from the hallway to the room didn't meet the floor so we could hear the occasional passing guest but we put spare pillows/cushions down to block this and the hallway lighting out. The door knob/lock was broken as can be seen in the attached pic and is quite sharp so I would hope it's replaced soon to avoid any blood shed! There is a nice cosy lounge to have drink before dinner and the food was first class, very good value for money! Our beef and venison were cooked to perfection and the treacle tart for pudding was first class. The dining room was very quiet/formal even with several guest in there and some background music would have been nice. Breakfast was served in the orangery and again a very nice spread of continental items followed by a cooked to order main served at the table. Mr W had no complaints about his full Welsh and my eggs benedict was just perfectly cooked with delicious thick cut ham. There are some lovely walks right from the doorstep, either around the grounds and lake or follow the paths in either direction for longer routes but take sturdy footwear as pathways quite slippery and uneven at this time of year. There are 2 EV car chargers in the corner of the car park (7kw and bring your own charging cable) which one of the staff members showed us how to use (you need a password to enter on the charger obtainable from the staff) Talking of the staff, other hotels could learn from them - everyone we encountered was friendly and happy to help with absolutely anything, even the housekeepers we encountered were so cheery! So overall, with a few tweaks this is a lovely place to stay and we'd happily return especially as we didn't have time to sample the spa or explore more of the beautiful area!

My cousin and I were on a trip in the countryside of beautiful Wales. The Lake Country House was by far our favorite place. It was a comforting haven— quiet, restful with a kind, attentive welcoming staff and gracious Host/owner. The delicious breakfasts in the Solarium, relaxed fine dining in the evenings were welcome luxuries bookending our day’s hiking. We also enjoyed the wooded path along the pond and River Irfon, and the beautiful old trees. I would happily return.

A short stay as we were working at the Welsh TruckFest. The icing on the cake for me was the lovely chat and walk with the Owner Mr M! The grounds, lake, River and Spa are incredible I just wish I had enough time to enjoy these! The staff are truly wonderful, so caring and very obviously passionate about what they do. True old world charm that was simply enchanting. I left with a smile on my face, true hospitality at its best ….. and I’m really hard to please! Hope the family wedding goes well, and I will be back to enjoy rather than in a work capacity Oh to add…. Food delicious, and lots of lovely hot water!!! It’s the simple things…..
