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.

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.
