Was meant to write this after we stayed. we went to relax and do some work. It was perfect for this. I do think some guests should manage their expectations as you get what you pay for. It is not perfect but tbh We actually felt the hotel was good value for money. Room was lush with lake view and outdoor seating. Staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. We ate dinner from outside and the bar closes at usual hours, after that you only have a vending machine. Breakfast suited us for our needs. We would stay again! My only thought would be to get a feather duster onto the cobwebs, however my party who stayed thought it added to the character. * can’t please everyone *

I spent 2 nights the first week and 3 nights the second week followed by 2 nights the 3rd week, for business purposes. The food was good, the staff delightful and most helpful and the rooms were comfortable, especially when I had beautiful views of the lake behind the hotel. When the room was at the front looking onto the carpark with the busy A2 beyond, I was surprised how effective the soundproofing was. I slept well every night. I would recommend this hotel without any reservations on my part. I commuted into East London every day. Sometimes there were traffic holdups on the A2 but it was worth it to return to the peaceful tranquility of the hotel and lake.

We got married at The Inn on the Lake back in June 2023 and words cannot describe what an amazing day we had! The staff at the Inn throughout the whole wedding process, but particularly on the day, went above and beyond for us to make our day extra special! You could just see how much thought had gone into everything. If anything did go wrong on our wedding day, we certainly did not know about it - Natalie and Laura were always one step ahead with everything, not only keeping us to time but also make suggestions throughout our day to elevate it even more! Our day was perfect and we owe that to the staff at the hotel. All our guests commented on what a beautiful venue it is, and not forgetting how amazing the food was. The gardens and lakes are just beautiful! Many of our guest stayed over and they all commented on how excellent the rooms were and the brilliant breakfast! I had the bridal getting ready room the night before our wedding which was perfect for the girls and I to get ready in and has plenty of natural light for photos! Then after our wedding we stayed in the bridal suite, we loved the doors that took you out onto the lakes, and even more so that the morning after the wedding we was able to sit outside and meet up with some of our family members in neighbouring rooms for a cup of tea! I would highly recommend The Inn on the Lake as a wedding venue, but also if you are just considering staying over! No matter the reason for your visit, the friendly staff, well maintained rooms and excellent food will certainly impress you! Thank you to The Inn on the Lake again for the most perfect wedding day!

We stayed here for 5 nights with 2 friends. The location is fabulous and we ate here 4 nights outside overlooking the lake - wonderful. The food was good quality although several items were unavailable. We could not fault the breakfasts. Every member of staff we were in contact with were lovely. Very helpful, polite and smiled all the time. However, the decor leaves a bit to be desired. The bedrooms were very tired and outdated. If addressed this hotel would be 5 star.

Everyone expects something to go wrong on their wedding day, but we can honestly say nothing went wrong and we had the most perfect wedding day at the Inn on the Lake. We couldn't have asked for the day to go any better than it did and that was down to the excellent event management skills of Natalie and her team. Nothing was too much and Natalie did everything to make sure it was an amazing day for everyone. Having a room the night before to get ready for the big day was brilliant, we weren't rushed and had a lovely morning preparing for the afternoon. The wedding ceremony under the gazebo in front of the lake looked magical, the room and tables were prefect, food was brilliant and the staff were lovely, we were looked after well from beginning to end. The evening hog roast, we're told was amazing, we actually missed this as we were pulled from pillar to post all evening making sure we spoke to as many people as possible. The DJ was great, getting the dancefloor filled as much as possible too. Then after the most perfect day, having the bridal room to go back to was bliss, although having an early flight the next day we didn't get to enjoy the jacuzzi or the breakfast in bed. We had the best day, all of our guests enjoyed their time as much as we did and for that we both thank you all very much. The Inn on the Lake is the most beautiful setting, with the most attentive team, you will not be disappointed and you will have an incredible wedding day!
