North Lakes Hotel & Spa Reviews




With the restrictions we only had 6 guests for our special day but this was matter less as we were made to feel like VIP’s within the beautiful surroundings of North Lakes Hotel.
The function room was set out creating a warm and intimate atmosphere much more than we could ever have hoped for.
Anyone looking for a venue and wondering if this is the place….IT IS!
Special thanks to Jen for going through the whole roller coaster with us and keeping a smile throughout.
Thank you.

All of our guest both from the UK and Norway were impressed with the food, service and staff; from housekeeping through to yourself, please pass our thanks to everybody and ensure you let the mangers know also.
Once again MANY thanks

Guests have expressed how much they liked the hotel and staff, as well as the occasion.
We both know how big a role your own hands on approach played in the smooth running of the day, and we wanted you to know how much we appreciate and value your role, perhaps unseen by guests.
Thanks again for your part in the day, and to the other staff on the day.
We would highly recommend the North Lakes Hotel as a wedding venue to anyone who asked.

From the moment we walked into this hotel at the start of 2018 we knew it was where we wanted to get married.!! We had an appointment with Jen Braithwaite and booked it pretty much straight away.
We got married on 21/09/2019 and what a day it was, everything and I mean everything was done exactly how we wanted it.!! There wasn’t one issue with the whole day, from the ceremony all the way through to the night everything was perfect..
Jen Braithwaite is amazing, throughout the whole planning she was there, if I needed to ask something so small she was there, she took every tiny detail down and made sure the pressure was off myself and my husband and straight onto her. We wanted a white aisle runner Jen found us one, we wanted classy and elegant Jen helped us achieve that.!! The food on the day was beautiful even down to the presentation, words cannot describe how perfect everything was and just how we had imagined our big day.
A massive thank you to everyone at North Lakes Hotel and the biggest thank you to Jen for making our dream wedding become a reality.!!
See you next year for our 1st year anniversary

All the staff were so accommodating, kind and helpful and we couldn't have wished for anything more perfect. Nothing was too much trouble- from the chef's personalising menu's to all the help booking rooms from the office team.
Thank you Jen for all the very helpful pre-wedding meetings too. All in all we had a wonderful experience- one we'll never forget.
Thank you so much again.
