Impeccable service in restaurant for a party of 10 in a private room upstairs. Pre-ordering went well albeit menu slightly changed closer to date. Ambience excellent with welcoming snug bar and roaring fire downstairs. Food was disappointing given their reputation and top end pricing. For example lamb was dry, Kerala veg curry lacked flavour and figgy pudding was somewhat bland .

What an amazing experience from start to finish! We arrived early and was able to check into the room early - it was no problem 🙌🏻 The room was across 2 floors with wirlpool bath & roomy shower. The dinner was… amazing, scallop starter and cheese course were the stars 👌 The chef got everything spot on and the service could not be faulted. We had plenty of time between courses. The fishcakes for breakfast were gorgeous! If i had to find something to improve would be background music in the dining room (was great at breakfast) but thats just me. Thank you - we will

Rescued us in our time of need! A place we had planned to have lunch at (with a group of 7) rang us to say the chef had rung in sick and they wouldn't be doing lunch. After some desperate ringing around at 10am that morning to try and find somewhere that would be able to accomodate a group of 7 for lunch on a Sunday at very short notice, the Lake Isle came through!
They were incredibly helpful and very friendly. The fact they'd been able to find space for us at such short notice would honestly have been enough, but the food was also absolutely wonderful. The Sunday set menu had two vegan options

Absolutely sensational food, stunning ingredients and presentation and a flawless service. Such a treat and our first meal out for over a year which proved well worth it. Thanks so much!

Excellent restaurant. Fantastic service and the food is superb. Good portion size - we were stuffed after 2 courses and couldn’t manage dessert. Highly recommend the scallops as a starter and main courses were excellent too 👍

Great Sunday lunch with spaced out tables making atmosphere intimate and safe. Choices of dishes made it difficult to choose from. The Marathon dessert was a chocolate/peanut heaven on a plate! Need to book again!

We had a lovely night away, and an excellent dinner. The young lad who was waiting was thoughtful and friendly but unobtrusive. We felt comfortable and relaxed. Covid restrictions did not spoil our little night… away but we over slept missing breakfast as the normal hotel guidelines which you would find pre-covid in the room are no longer there. Not the hotels fault... we wandered into Uppingham and found a lovely place called 5elements where we had coffee and pastries. A little shopping in some delightful unusual places. Our first night away in several months as we have worked all the way

Welcoming, professional and friendly yet unobtrusive service. Imaginative menus suiting vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal as always. Can’t think of a better place to celebrate my birthday!

Lovel overnight stay at the The Lake Isle. Room was nice but the food is the thing you will remember, absolutely delicious!
Really interesting choices from a very talent team and as for the service, absolutely first class when you think these guys are working in challenging conditions during COVID-19 and could not have been more helpful.
THEN..... came breakfast this morning. A lovely full English that wasn’t at all greasy but very tasty.
Highly recommend as the village and surrounding area is also lovely! 👍
