The Lake Isle Restaurant with Rooms

My wife and I booked a meal at the Lake Isle to catch up with some friends and decided to book a room to take advantage of their wine list. The room as spotless and beautifully appointed, the small hotel is a quirky old building and was thoughtfully decorated and attention to detail was every where. The meal was fantastic, my wife had the panko scallops.... they were that good I didn't even get to sample one! I had the venison and the others in the party had the trio of beef. All of it was superb and with generous portions. Deserts were also beautifully presented and tasted as good as they looked. There were some great wines on offer and we took full advantage of not having to drive home. Breakfast, full english for 3 and a veggie for one, perfectly cooked and great produce. Staff were attentive throughout dinner and breakfast. Overall a great stay would happily recommend and look forward to staying here again.

Excellent festive lunch. Always such a treat to dine at The Lake Isle. Food, service, atmosphere all top notch! Fabulous wine and drinks. The food was served with a to good to eat plate full of yummy deliciousness. Excellent service by very courteous staff. There was not a morsel left on our plates - even the kids tucked in and enjoyed everything especially the parsnips. Definitely recommend the gingerbread attic roll - utterly delightful! Great wine selection too!

First visit and did not disappoint. Fabulous from start to finish. Room was spotless with comfy beds and a spa bath. Food outstanding, both supper and breakfast. Service exceptional. Fortunate to live close enough to be able to return in the near future

3 night stay early September. Perfect for attending Burghley Horse Trials. The Lake Isle offers stylish rooms along with a wonderful restaurant. Our super king room was very pleasant. Attractive decor, very comfortable bed, powerful shower and jacuzzi bath. We are in the restaurant on the first evening and were very impressed with the food. The food was fresh, well seasoned and attractively presented. The staff were very friendly and quietly efficient. Breakfast was the best we have ever enjoyed in a hotel. Overall a very enjoyable stay and we will book for next year.

Spotlessly clean rooms. Spacious rooms. Very comfortable bed. We were in room 1 which had a very large bathroom with a big bath in and a rainfall shower. Tasteful decor (if a little lacking in character). We booked the dine, bed & breakfast and this was well worth the extra money. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. The breakfast is a real highlight. A choice of food. We had a two course breakfast, fruit , yoghurt & muesli to start and then a cooked breakfast. The sausages were delicious. You really got the sense that the staff were really well trained and couldn’t do enough for you. I would 100% recommend staying here and would stay again without hesitation.

We visited as a family group of fifteen people for our annual pre-Christmas meet up, and took dinner in the restaurant and eight of the nine bedrooms. Everything was outstanding - from the beautifully decorated dining area and bar to the quality and presentation of the food. We pre-ordered from the a la carte December menu, which had a wide selection of choices, and everything was delicious and promptly and warmly served. The staff were most amenable in catering to our large group, and breakfast next morning was similarly efficiently served and beautifully cooked to order. Our bedrooms ranged from the small cottage to the deluxe suite, but all were very well equipped, spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lake Isle - so much so that we have already booked again for 2024.
