Guests at the North Lakes Hotel and Spa have left mixed reviews regarding breakfast with some describing it as outstanding, amazing and brilliant. The breakfast is described as a table service with a good choice and great taste, although some have found the buffet breakfast to be disappointing. The decaf tea is a nice touch and guests can enjoy getting to build their own breakfast sandwiches. There is a great selection of food with an array of pastries, juices, cereals, yogurts and sandwich fillers and nothing is skimped on. The cooked-to-order breakfast is exceptionally good and every item on the menu is of a high standard and top quality. Some guests have noted that the breakfast was a bit of a shambles as there was confusion with large coach parties and the price of £22 is considered too expensive by some. However, overall, guests loved the breakfast and would highly recommend it with some even saying they would come back just for the breakfast alone. The super king bed is also worth mentioning as being very comfortable with well-appointed rooms and excellent facilities to match. Those who went elsewhere for dinner and breakfast may have missed out on the nice restaurant and amazing food offered at the hotel.
