Aphrodites Group

This penthouse room as booked for my partner as a birthday present, and it was put of this world! Beautiful room with indoor hot tub, sauna, log burner and balcony. We really couldn't fault it. Breakfast is delivered to the room at a time requested, it was freshly prepared and was really nice.

We had a great time and would go again. Close to the lake, plenty of good places to eat and relaxing atmosphere. October is a good time to go, not as many people around, but avoid the school break. The scenery can be spectacular if you get off the beaten track.

We had an amazing stay at aphrodities, stayed in the elysian suite which was stunning, modern but also very cosy. Our stay was faultless from start to finish. We can't wait to retu6in the near future. We've stayed twice now but both stays have been unique.

We booked a weekend in one of the suites for our wedding anniversary. Though there was definitely room for improvement in some areas, overall we had a lovely time. However, I'd probably think twice about going again unless it was in a more separate suite or a cottage. First impressions and check in: Its a nice old building with leafy surroundings and plenty of room to park. I thought the rooms would be more spaced out than they appeared to be. The reception was large, and there were two attendents on so we were seen quickly. Our receptionist was very friendly. The decor in the reception was okay, nothing special, but light and airy. It was not so good in the hallways - creaky stairs, no lights, humped floor. The joys of an old building probably, when it comes to weird wonky bits, and that I can forgive, but I am not sure why it was so dimly lit where there were stairs. There were no extra touches that would have put the check-in above some other boutique hotels we've stayed at for the same price. For example, they asked what the occasion was and we mentioned it was our anniversary. In other hotels we might have been offered a complimentary glass of wine to celebrate. Or there might have been some fresh fruit or something to nibble. Things like that are just a nice touch that makes it memorable and whilst I wouldn't expect above and beyond at a premier inn, I would at somewhere with these costs. The room: The room was gorgeous for the most part, and matched the photos. It was very spacious, and the bathroom - which is the reason we chose the room - was amazing. We had an excellent time in the hot tub which was fairly easy to work and came with a mounted TV (Freeview channels). Also the bath was very nice (jacuzzi settings if wanted) and the shower with the seat in was great, very modern. Everything was very clean as well. The only downside in the bathroom was that the TV above the bath didn't seem to have anything preloaded into it (Netflix, Prime etc) and the WiFi was so bad we couldn't get anything on it ourselves either. It would have been nice to sit in the bath with our prosecco and watch a film or something, so that was definitely a down side. The main room could have done with a bit of a renovate. The curtains were dated, the sofa was cheap feeling, and the bed's mattress and pillows were uncomfortable. I didn't get a great night's sleep. The big TV was great, lots to choose from, and the TV over the bed was fine as well. There was an ornamental LED fireplace in the sitting area which would have been nice ambience but we had to keep it off because it was too loud and annoying. The room came with optional fans, hair dryer, a small wardrobe for hanging clothes, clean bins, a mini fridge and tea/coffee facilities which was great. We lacked for nothing essential. The WiFi was not great however, and several times it stalled which is annoying if watching the TV. The breakfast: I don't bother with hotel breakfasts usually but if it's

our the room was amazing, hot tub was great and we enjoyed a very relaxing time, the breakfast delivery to the room was great, good selection on offer, location was good, we would definitely return, and would recommend if you want a relaxing time

This place is not what you think it is, it’s very outdated, I was very surprised that you’re basically staying in a hotel with some fancy decor rooms in them, for the money we paid it very was disappointing, the hotel needs a refresh, the hallways of hotels in Blackpool have better standards! The curtains were half on/off the pole making it difficult to close them, the shower was terrible, I’ve seen better at caravan parks!! You don’t even get the personal touches at reception etc, the WiFi was very slow, the TV in the bathroom was very limited to channels, for the £200+ we paid we could of had such a better experience, definitely won’t be back here, no air con, you overlook other people on their stays in their hot tubs, everything about it was just awful

The Penthouse Retreat was spacious and spotless, with great décor. The English breakfast was delicious & delivered on time every morning The breakfast delivery staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure we had all we required. Nothing was too much trouble. Stayed for 3 nights

This hotel has gone downhill since I last stayed a few years ago, it is very over priced for what it is, the pictures are misleading, the room we stayed in wasn't great the shower room was dirty we ended up having to buy cleaning products to clean the bathroom floor to get mould of the floor. The breakfast was not the greatest I have also recectly stayed at the boutique hotels windermere and found that to be a better hotel it had more of a personal touch to it. I would highly recommened the boutique hotels windermere rahter than this hotel. I found that the QR in the room wasnt great as it did not work I personally prfer the personal touches that this hotel did not provide.

Lovely room in an amazing location and the staff were really helpful. Would recommend. The room could do with air conditioning as sometimes gets a bit warm in the summer months but other than that it's still a lovely place and I would definitely return.
