We booked a hotel room for our wedding anniversary and were quite disappointed by the stay.
The room was nice but there was no acknowledgement of our anniversary and some of the facilities were lacking for an almost £300 night hotel - I asked for some cotton wool pads and was told by the reception team I could drive into the nearest town.
We also asked for a suggestion of where to walk which would give us the best view of seeing some of the lakes and the receptionist told us any of the routes would. This was not the case, as the ones we ended walking had the views blocked by housing so we ended up walking down long gravel paths peering at the lake through the gaps between these houses.
I think this would be lovely if you stay in one of the cabins but the hotel feels like an afterthought - the fact I emailed this feedback over to Lakes by Yoo as well following my stay and didn’t even get an acknowledgment only further highlights this.... Read more

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. I left feeling so happy and I have already told my friends, colleagues & family! Thank you.... Read more

Lovely location but terrible service. Took ages to be greeted and seated. The waitress who served us was so completely disinterested and looked very irritated and bothered to having to serve us. Drinks took ages to arrive and food was just OK. I had the Ramen which was very mediocre. Ice creams were lovely and my kids loved the playground.... Read more

Really great little place with a nice view. The food is mostly very tasty, especially the nduja flatbread. For 4, starters and mains with a drink, you're looking at £160ish which is a tad pricey. A few of the staff had golden service personalities and they definitely elevated the experience. They're also pet friendly, which is great!... Read more

Great food and service in beautiful location, summer or winter.

Has a lovely indoor area plus great outdoor sitting next to the playground, overlooking the lake.
Staff is great, very friendly and professional.

I had the pleasure of staying at the Lakes by Yoo in the Cotswolds and it was an absolutely amazing experience. The house itself was stunning, offering a perfect blend of luxury and comfort. The environment surrounding the property was picturesque and serene, creating a peaceful and rejuvenating atmosphere.
The standout feature, however, was the exceptional team behind the scenes. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our stay was flawless. From fixing any issues promptly to making us feel welcome and well taken care of, their dedication was truly commendable.
A special shoutout to Sinead, who was in her second week on the job. Despite being new, she demonstrated remarkable professionalism and skill in attending to our needs. Her contribution was instrumental in enhancing our overall experience.
In conclusion, my stay at Lakes by Yoo in the Cotswolds was nothing short of incredible. The house, the team, and the environment combined to create a memorable and enjoyable getaway. A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved for making this experience truly exceptional.... Read more

My wife and I did not have a good experience at Lakes by Yoo. Although we stayed at one of the cabins for 3 nights, we were never able to get breakfast at their restaurant because the place was fully booked every morning. We managed to have lunch once, and although the service was good, the food was very average.
Regarding the cabin, it is definitely very nice and cozy. However, it was full of spiders web and it was difficult to enjoy the outside area for the same reason.
Generally, this place is not yet ready. It is full of construction everywhere and it seems like they still have a lot to figure out if they want to become a luxury place to go in the Cotswolds.... Read more

We specifically chose this property because of the reviews. We had an absolutely horrible experience! The hot tub and pool were “broken” and could not be fixed. The gate to the community pool was “locked by mistake” so our girls couldn’t go to the community pool. We called the “open all hours customer support” and they never called back. This was honestly one of the worst customer experiences we have had. Do not stay here!!!!... Read more

If you’re looking for a private holiday home without the fuss/activities of a resort then this is for you. The properties feel cut off from each other so you aren’t overlooked and the other folk on the lake do respect space by not coming close.
If you need some social time then there’s a nice spa, pool, children’s play area at the tipi for that. The house rosé is, naturally, Whispering Angel...
Water is lovely to swim in.
Excellent massages.
Great for babies, probably tricky for toddlers and ok again for the young children on account of the water hazard.... Read more

A beautiful and tranquil 5 Bedroom location, uniquely set against the back drop of lakes and forestry within the Cotswold area. Definitely the place to go, to get away from the busy pace of London or one of the many UK City Centre type locations. Very Suitable for families or larger groups, the property was cleverly designed and eye catching, first impression was quite breath taking when entering the location and following the paths and bridges to where it's situated, the property itself arranged with unique and streamlined decor. Clean and crisp environment to lounge, cosy seating areas, with open plan kitchen and dining area, breakfast bar and stalls. Plenty of kitchen wares, cupboards stick with necessary items and accessories, pantry cupboards and the list goes on. Each room benefited from the beautiful views of the Lakes, nice clean and well set up to spend your stay, 5 bathrooms comprising of walk in showers or bath or both dependant on where, fresh clean towels, with complimentary toiletries, as you would find at a Hotel setting. WiFi within the property was accessible but limited, but who's complaining here, especially if you want to get away from the norm and have some serious downtime from laptop, mobile phones and gadgets. This is the place to be by far. Within the compound where The White Willow Lodge was set within a short but leisurely stroll was Elsa's where we dined for breakfast, yummy! The Spa facilities were set within the compound too, staff were welcoming and facilities highly suitable and treatments brilliant! <br/>We also spent some time having a group tennis coaching lesson within the tennis court grounds which was energy filled and instructor Dave really made our learning cool and fun! I Highly recommend Lakes by Yoo and White Willow Lodge for personal, couples, family or group retreats, family reunions, just somewhere to get away and once you've closed the door leave the rest of the world outside for a few days or more whilst you relax, enjoy your stay, can't wait to return ??...

Great place for a peaceful break. Lots of activities for adults and kids alike but it's not Butlins so don't expect a fairground and chain restaurants. The houses are well equipped with magnificent kitchens where you can cook from scratch if the mood takes you or reheat your ready meals. The pool and health suite is comprehensive and classy and there is sailing nearby. Our lodge had a couple of kayaks and lifejackets to allow exploration of the lake. There is a supervised zipwire on site and a chicken run where you can help yourself to eggs (first come first served), fairly decent tennis courts are also available. The nearby town of Lechlade has a number of pubs and shops including a delicatessen/grocers and a Co-op, various tea shops, a very interesting antique curio shop and the open all year Christmas shop....

Don't stay at this place, unless you want to lose your deposit.
Lack of activities for children, Pool can only be used by non residents after 2pm, very limited dining options with no restaurants on site. And a magic inventory that blames you for someone else's damage before you move in !
If you stay here, ensure you sign off on the inventory. But my advice, stay elsewhere until this resort is under new management.... Read more
