Our stay at the resort was filled with mixed experiences. The cleanliness and comfort of the accommodations were truly impressive, making it a relaxing getaway. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with some disappointing meals. While activities for children were plentiful, improvements could be made in housekeeping and service response times for certain requests.

Our stay had its ups and downs. The accommodations were charmingly set within beautiful grounds, but unfortunately, cleanliness and comfort were not up to par. While the staff was accommodating, the overall experience left us wanting better sleeping arrangements and improved cleanliness in the cottages. The location is ideal for exploring the Isle of Wight, making it a shame that the stay was hindered by these issues.

I recently enjoyed a stay at Rookley Lakes and had a wonderful experience in a cozy cottage. The cottage was luxurious and fully equipped, providing a comfortable space for our family. However, the facilities felt a bit quiet and lacked some activities during our stay, which was during the late season. Overall, we had a relaxing time and made great use of the hot tub and local amenities.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. The accommodation was spacious and had everything we needed, which made our stay enjoyable. However, the dining experience left a lot to be desired with the breakfast being particularly disappointing. Although there were beautiful surroundings, the maintenance issues, especially concerning cleanliness, affected my overall impression.

We had a lovely time at the Lakes Rookley, with the scenic surroundings and clean accommodations being significant highlights. The swimming pool was enjoyable, though a bit crowded, and the refurbishments added a nice touch. However, the service in the bar was disappointing at times, and the removal of pool tables was a letdown for my son.

We stayed in a 3-bed cottage, which was quite nice but would have benefited from more storage options like wardrobes and mirrors.
