The Lakes by Yoo

My favourite place to visit in the Cotswolds. The food is exceptional, and the staff are so attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is perfect. Not to mention the exceptional setting, with the view from the restaurant over the beautiful lake. Definitely worth a visit!

Lakes by Yoo have been on my list to visit for a while. I finally managed to go last weekend - and it did not disappoint. The food was incredible, as well as the atmosphere. I couldn’t fault our experience and 100% recommend. An honourable mention to the service as well!

Great Room and Customer Service Check in was very good and the assistant showed us to our room - great customer service and friendly. Room was lovely - spacious and with a balcony. Bathroom spotlessly clean as was the rest of the room. Plenty of tea, coffee, sugar and milk available. Overall an excellent stay, will certainly stay again.

The cabins are good, nicely decorated and quality furnished. However the bar and restaurant are extremely poor. The bar has very little to offer and missing some basic essentials while the food offering is very strange, breakfast is a choice of baps which was okay However we wanted dinner and were told the only option was pizza which was disappointing

The lakes are beautiful and our room was nicely decorated with drench shower and wildsmith toiletries We had dinner and breakfast in the main bar and restaurant which I have to say was extremely poor service, food was okay we had poached egg with avocado for breakfast and I pizza in the evening so can’t go far wrong. Breakfast service was okay from Ellie but the evening was chaotic which should be embarrassing as it wasn’t busy so no real reason for should a bad experience On checking out we were given lots of guff about change of ownership and a new manager is going to sort it out, on further discussion the new manager was the lady we were served by the night before who was disorganised and barking at the junior staff Overall for the money it isn’t worth it, we have stayed at Forest Holidays in their cabins and had a much better time so sadly we won’t bother returning. I have read the generic replies so please don’t bother with the trite apology asking me to get in touch, just sort out the catering and lower the prices

I knew I was going to be in the area on Thursday 3rd October 2024, & I had a whole day to spare, so being true to myself, I was on the hunt for a spa day and wanted to get something booked. I spent a couple of days looking on Google, reading reviews, referring to social media, and I can without a doubt say, I am so pleased that I chose The Lakes By Yoo. Wow! From the moment I arrived, the Bar & Kitchen dining area had a lovely, cozy, warm atmosphere, overlooking the stunning lakes, with happy, friendly, helpful and polite staff. The decor itself was rustic, yet very modern and contemporary. My breakfast was a really nice start to the spa experience. The Spa itself was amazing, I had the most relaxing, comfortable and hydrating Facial, then got to enjoy the spa facilities, which I was lucky enough to have all to myself. The spa definitely has a very private, exclusive feel to it, where every last detail has been carefully thought about. Parking was really easy too. I left feeling so happy and I have already told my friends, colleagues & family! Thank you.
