The Lakes by Yoo

Lovely stay, super clean and nicely decorated. spa area was amazing when empty. This is a great location when wanting to adventure into the Cotswolds The hotel itself doesn’t feel like a hotel, it doesn’t quite know what it is the hotel facilities feel like a last min add on and there is a constant awareness of properties / apartments being sold. The grounds and properties are still being developed and you can’t walk closely to the lakes around mostly due to the private property’s so you end up walking around the back of buildings With regard to activities they are limited to book (though we did go in feb) you have to have a min number to do some of these which is not great for couples I wouldn’t not describe the room as superior it’s fairly small and has the basics of just a kettle with tea and coffee. The balcony is shared meaning the people next door could have the ability to walk up to you bedroom door and bathroom window. Overall it was a lovely stay and really enjoyed ourselves though would of expected a bit more for the price.

The pictures of the hotel part don’t really do it justice and I’d suggest an external shot is added to advertising material. Facilities are really impressive, stylish and design led, albeit the hot tub wasn’t working during our stay. Overall, I definitely come back and stay in one of the larger properties.

Still under construction, felt unestablished. Spa was ok but nothing special. The bedroom was lovely but no fresh milk or biscuits. No ambience. I think it’s trying to be an upmarket Center Parcs but doesn’t work from our experience.

After recommended this place to friends and family we decided to visit again this being our 5th visit only to be disappointed with a huge drop in standards, firstly the cleaning standards were extremely poor hardly being able to see out of the dirty windows, the tables weren't cleaned properly, dust was on the backs of the seating the floor looked like it hadn't been cleaned in week ,the dress Code of the staff were in joggers and trainers although they were polite. It's such a shame to see a drop o In standards.

We stayed in a 3-bedroom apartment which was absolutely gorgeous and perfect for our family. The spa was lovely and the massage one of the best I’ve had. What we felt really let Lakes By Yoo down was the restaurant.. there’s only one on site, with a limited menu, and it’s a tent so we were absolutely freezing. Really felt they missed a trick not offering a range of eateries.

Wonderful, romantic stay at the lakes with my husband. The staff were faultless, really helpful and welcoming. We will be returning asap and are already looking at dates we can return in the spring.

We won a night’s stay at Lakes By Yoo and initially thought it was a scam! Everything about the venue and apartment was luxurious and very relaxing. Some very special touches, a home made lemon drizzle cake and jam which was delicious. Butter, milk and fresh bread. Lots of tea and coffee and a coffee machine. The surroundings are so peaceful and the apartment was stunning, looking on to the lake. Will be saving up for a return trip.

This was the most beautiful staycation we have ever had and everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. The kitchen had all the facilities and the decor was amazing. I couldn’t fault this place even if I tried.

Wow....what a great experience to stay on such a wonderful estate. A memorable experience...shame it was only for 3 nights. The apartment was superb, spa was incredible and all the staff we met were wonderful.
