The Lake Country House Hotel & Spa

Facilities and grounds

If you didn’t want the 3 course evening meal, your other choice was a sandwich.

Breakfast is excellent and service excellent too.

The walks around the property are just beautiful

We really enjoyed our second stay at this charming property set in a gorgeous countryside location. The rooms have an old world charm and the hospitality is of a high standard. Look forward to visiting again next year!

Gave the management team some suggestions on EV charging & parking that were immediately implemented.

Amazing setting, grounds were remarkable (one of very few hotels I have stayed in with such a grand lake and spa facilities overlooking the lake!). Parking right in front of the hotel - very convenient. Jacuzzi spa was highly impressive - hard to explain the setting, was covered outside and on 1st floor deck overlooking the lake in the spa building, was the highlight of our stay. Dinner 3 course menu was good, not the best I have had but a solid performance and the wine was reasonably priced which was refreshing. All members of staff we engaged with were friendly. If you get a chance take a short walk down the gardens in front of the main hotel to the river, walk along the river path to the lake - it is picturesque. If you like birds also some great spots, we came across a Kingfisher!

Alas the bed had a foam mattress topper that was quite uncomfortable, more so noticed the next day when we both woke up with back ache, for a ~£300 / night room i would expect a high quality mattress (Powys room name). Of course it could also be considered a personal preference and some may like it, however for context I stay in a lot of hotels for work and rarely suffer from back ache the next day. The room also had a limited view and overlooked mainly the service entrances, so was some noise up until ~2330hrs, this wasn’t a huge issue for us but worth to note if you like a quiet stay and the window open. Ambiance at dinner service could have been better, both the restaurant and lounge area had no background music, had very much a ‘library’ feel. I appreciate a quiet dinner but some minimal classic music would have been a nice touch.

From start to finish the stay was exceptional. To add a little icing on the stay a Welsh male voice choir was present to sing before dinner. Rooms, Service, food all Fantastic!

If you can, book dinner here - the cuisine is excellent, possibly the best meal out I've had in Wales. The staff are friendly, helpful and professional, and the room (Lodge suite) was spacious, well-equipped, and comfortable. The spa and grounds were lovely.
