Our family of four have just left having spent three nights in a Lakeside Lodge and needless to say noone wanted to leave. The experience surpassed my expectations from start to finish, and surprisingly given the beautiful site, it was very very kid friendly. The lodge itself was absolutely wonderful - spotlessly clean, huge, warm and the beds were incredibly comfy. The hotel was like something from a movie and a throw back to a bygone era. The crackling fire in the entrance, the cosy lounge (where we read our books over a bottle of wine) and the gorgeous restaurant. A special mention must go to Dierdre at the free kids club - having never left the girls before she made me feel instantly at ease and it was a trip highlight for our kids. They want to come back to see her alone! Likewise the swimming pool - let s just say the kids would have spent all day every day there if we d let them! The gym could do with a bit of a refurb but there was plenty in there to keep me busy for an hour and all in perfect working order. The space of the hotel makes it ideal for couples and people with children alike as you never feel on top of each other. We are already planning our return back here from the UK next summer.
