We booked the luxury caravan with a hot tub, although unfortunately we wouldn’t describe it as “luxury”.
There were a few things that we felt needed attention. The radiators in the bathrooms were rusty and really need replacing, the grouting was mouldy, and one of the shower screens had mould around the bottom. The white railing around the patio was also loose and needs securing.
The hot tub had supposedly been cleaned before our arrival, but there were what looked like small stones in it, which was disappointing. One side of the bed had USB ports that didn’t work, and unfortunately the dishwasher didn’t seem to clean the dishes properly. On the positive side, the kitchen was very well equipped.
Despite these issues, we did enjoy our stay. This was our third visit to Lakeside, although last time we stayed in one of the Lakeside cottages, which we preferred.
The staff are always lovely, friendly and welcoming, and the setting is beautiful and makes for a lovely relaxing break. Like everywhere at the moment, though, we do feel that the cost of staying in the UK is getting quite expensive.
We would definitely book to visit Lakeside again, but next time we will choose one of the cottages rather than a caravan.
