Our stay had its ups and downs. The accommodations were charmingly set within beautiful grounds, but unfortunately, cleanliness and comfort were not up to par.

I recently enjoyed a stay at Rookley Lakes and had a wonderful experience in a cozy cottage. The cottage was luxurious and fully equipped, providing a comfortable space for our family. However, the facilities felt a bit quiet and lacked some activities during our stay, which was during the late season. Overall, we had a relaxing time and made great use of the hot tub and local amenities.

We had a lovely time at the Lakes Rookley, with the scenic surroundings and clean accommodations being significant highlights. The swimming pool was enjoyable, though a bit crowded, and the refurbishments added a nice touch. However, the service in the bar was disappointing at times, and the removal of pool tables was a letdown for my son.
