Lovely stay in a beautiful setting.
Pros:

The setting was beautiful. Loved feeding the ducks at the back door, over looking the lake.
We upgraded to the Cherry Blossom Suite to use the jacuzzi.
Perfect escape for a few days.

Overall, the stay was ok, room decor and facilities could be improved, a fridge and decent air con would make a huge di
Pros:

The check in process could be improved, the staff member on reception seemed distracted and uninterested in the guests. On arrival we were told that our room wasn’t ready, with no indication of how long it would be until it was ready, so we were directed to the bar for a drink, which was very overpriced and very poor quality, no ice during a heatwave.

Cons:

The surrounding area is very nice, with great views of the lake from the room with a shared terrace for guest use. However, there is no fridge in the room and a very old fan so the room was very warm. We had paid extra for a room with a king size bed, however we were allocated a small double bed. Local shops are a fair distance away, and only really accessible by car.
Breakfast is ok, very basic cooked option and a selection of cereals and toast, again, the staff members do not seem engaged or interested in the guests.

It was OK and where we needed to be. Food was good. Impression that hotel was past its best.
Pros:

Quiet room. Appreciated that. Away from the party festivities. Double glazing up to completely silencing the nearby motorway traffic noise.

Cons:

Fit and finish very tired. Enamel chips in the bath. Bath knobs stiff and difficult to turn. Bathroom fan that went on for 25 minutes after use, which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so noisy.
We used a pre-payment mastercard to pay online that was accepted by Booking.com - but wasn't accepted by the hotel machine and all the staff would say was that it was a requirement. Eventually we were allowed to use a regular visa card. I hope that we do not end up paying twice.

Good value, nice lake views
Pros:

Lovely view. Nice to sit outside by the lake. Good value.

Easy to get to from the main road, and convenient for bluewater.

Lots of dogs. Very dog friendly. Only £10 extra a night for a dog.

Cons:

The decor is old fashioned and could do with replacing but you pay less so can't expect it to be extremely modern.

Staff were a bit grumpy particularly at breakfast.

Disheartened Anniversary Getaway
Pros:

Loved that our room had a lake view, the sliding doors and walking out onto the patio with the lake infront of you was lovely and relaxing to sit at the small bistro style table and chairs each room had.

Cons:

The furniture in our room was fairly old style. The bed and pillows were extremely uncomfortable. The bathroom was very dated but all was clean and tidy on arrival. We was there to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and relax but unfortunately from check in time when we arrived a 15.30pm there was a party with a dj that unfortunately played very loud Bass'y music all the way up to midnight which boomed through the hotel all afternoon and night. Dinner in the restaurant was disappointing, the few meals we requested was off the menu as not having the stock/ingredients. When you did find something on the menu we had to pay there and then rather than at the end of your sitting. When asked do you want extra drinks with our meal we had to stop eating to pay each time again rather than at the end of the sitting. Breakfast the next day was a nightmare. We came down for this at 8.30am and showed to our table and given menus to chose from. Unfortunately everyone around us and that came in after us orders was taken and we was left in the middle with no staff available to take our orders. Trying to get attention from waiting staff was a test of it's own as we was trying to get staff attention and making it obvious we was ready to order for nearly 35mins. If breakfast wasn't included and paid for in the price I would of easily left and gone off premises for breakfast due to waiting nearly an hour in total for food to arrive. When food did arrive one of the orders was wrong and when explained the food went to the kitchen and came back with the items that was meant to be swapped out just scrapped off the plate and handed back to me, luckily I have no allergies. Unfortunately no staff asked about any allergies etc before any meals. Also would have been a better experience if you could of walked round the lake.
