Visitor Reviews of The Lakes Rookley
The location is spot on and the facilities cater well to everyone in the family. Staff really do try hard to make it special!
We really appreciated the size and comfort of the place, everything was well-stocked for cooking in. The dishwasher and washing machine were a bonus! Only a small gripe was the lack of a clothes airer, but it didnt ruin our stay at all.
We had a fantastic time, honestly couldn't fault it at all.
We had a really nice family break, despite all the restrictions in 2020. Looking forward to coming back next year when we can explore more of the site and amenities. Everything from the accommodation to the staff was top-notch!
Really loved it, definitely coming back again soon!
We had a really relaxing week in this peaceful spot, perfect for unwinding after a hectic start to the year. Definitely worth a visit if you want tranquility and lovely scenery.
Really enjoyed our stay, will come back!
Really enjoyed our stay, the cottage was charming and cosy indeed.
We really enjoyed our stay here! The cottages are spacious and well-equipped, making it easy to settle in and relax. Theyre spotless when you arrive, which is a relief these days. The welcome packs are a nice touch, with all the essentials you might forget. The only minor issue was WiFi coverage-unfortunately, the hotspots didnt reach our cottage, which was a bit frustrating. If they improved that, itd be perfect! Still, wed definitely come back.
Really enjoyed our stay, the caravan was modern and very clean overall.
Really enjoyed the whole stay
The place was frustratingly closed on certain days and whenever we went, it was packed with just a few tables free. Seems like theyre struggling with staff, which is a real shame. Still, well try again soon!
Clean, modern, great vibe
Had a fantastic time at Rookley again! Everything was just as great as last year. Cant wait to come back next summer, really looking forward to it!
Really enjoyed the vibe
Really impressed with how spotless and well-organised everything was. We initially thought four of us would stay, but two turned out to be perfect. Honestly, it felt spacious enough, so no complaints there!
We had such a lovely time with the family! The hot tub was perfect for relaxing after busy days. Already booked again, so excited!
Really enjoyed our experience, everything was spot on. Definitely a place we'd recommend and return to!
Beautiful spot, worth visiting
We loved the place! The decor was cosy and everything inside made us feel right at home. The only thing missing was a hoover or broom, especially since the downstairs wooden floors showed dirt easily. Still, overall a lovely stay!
Really disappointed theres no proper lighting over the bathroom or dressing table mirror. Its such a pain for applying makeup. If Id known, Id have brought my travel mirror. Wouldve made things so much easier, honestly. Needs improving!
We had a few things missing at first, but it wasnt a problem for Di to sort them out quickly. Our tin opener broke and they replaced it in no time at all. Everyone on staff really goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and its clear they genuinely care. We didnt want to leave the lakes - Rockley is honestly one of the best holiday spots on the Isle of Wight. Plus, the staff are very gay friendly, which made us feel right at home. Loved it!
Had a fantastic time on the isl and with the family, definitely planning to return to the Isle of Wight soon!
We booked this trip on a whim and honestly, it turned out to be such a lovely surprise! The whole stay was enjoyable - from the cosy accommodation to the fun activities and tasty food. The entertainment in the evenings was a nice touch too. Were already planning our next visit!
We had a lovely stay! The parks facilities are really well maintained, perfect for both kids and grown-ups. The restaurant and bar are great if you fancy a little treat. Would definitely come back!
Fabulous FIVE stars for the accommodation park areas and facilities on site a great place for adults and children.Great Restaurant and bar if you feel like treating your selves
The place was super modern and spotless, really comfy too. Everything we needed was there for a relaxing, stress-free break. Love it!
Honestly, the bed was pretty uncomfortable and the pillows were all lumpy. Not everything in the kitchen was there either. There were stains on the carpet and sofa, which was a bit off. Also, gas wasnt on when we arrived, so we had to hunt for the inlet valve and squeeze our hand in to turn it on. Not great, really.
Really enjoyed our stay, highly recommend this place! Thanks!
We had a lovely stay at Rookley, we were made to feel very welcome & didn't want to leave.
The welcome pack for our dog was so lovely too.
Thank you.
We had a lovely holiday and would definitely visit again, highly recommend
Although caravan is old & dated and bedrooms are rather small overall the van was perfect for what we needed and we had a nice stay. I would have like the option for Adults only later night swimming but all family we met where very nice.
Only issues we found was if we went put all day we struggled to park by our van. I think Van numbers and parking bays would be a good idea. We where in van 141.
Our Lakehouse was in a perfect location and contained everything you needed. Maintenance team were extremely helpful on Sunday we stopped 2 gentlemen in their cart to ask about our folding doors sticking, they followed us home and fixed the problem instantly. Fantastic service. The only downside we tried to use the on-site restaurant twice once for breakfast and once evening meal both times it was not open young lady behind bar was very vague about if or when it would actually be open so we didn’t bother again.
Great little place, a little shop on site would of made it better
