Nice but priced as 4 star and now needs updating
Pros:

Beautiful setting and lovely hotel. Dinner was excellent.

Cons:

Needs updating. Window in room broken. Kids play areas dated and broken. Outside pool was cold. Robes were dated. A lot of broken lights /wood around the resort. Breakfast average, single coffee machine broken. A lot of lovely staff but a lot of waiting around for tables and service.

Wonderful. So glad we chose Glasson for a special occasion.
Pros:

Glasson is beautiful. From the interiors to the exteriors. Food/drink/staff... It was a wonderful experience from start to finish and cannot wait to return and stay again. The fires are so beautiful and the way its so cosy and warming. Was so lucky to be upgraded to the cabin which exceeded my expectations and was such a welcome suprise for a special birthday. We really enjoyed our stay. Wonderful staff, great attention to details!

Cons:

Not a thing. Wonderful place, wonderful staff. Excellent surroundings. Absolutely no faulting Glasson. Cannot wait to return again!

Not the 4 star experience you would expect for the price
Pros:

Lovely location. Staff were great and responded very quickly to any issues.

Cons:

It’s requires updating. The bar food was just ok. The breakfast was not 4 star standard and was self service rather than À la Carte which is not what is advertised. The hot tubs weren’t available at the time of stay and the pool is located right in front of the hotel with no privacy whatsoever.

Pros:

Location and decor are lovely, drinks by the fire, nice walks, good food.

Cons:

Glasson Lakehouse is in a beautiful setting, but unfortunately, the service didn’t quite live up to it. I felt the staff could have been warmer, more welcoming and accommodating. Having stayed in many hotels, I feel genuine hospitality makes all the difference, and this was lacking during our visit. The hotel has so much potential, and a more personable and attentive approach from the team would really enhance the overall guest experience.
