Best All Inclusive Break in the Country
“As always everything about the break was first class including the food ,entertainment, and all the staff. Nothing was too much trouble and we even got remembered by the check in lady even though the last time we went to Five Lakes was in December. The room was lovely and the bed very comfortable and very quiet. The food was varied and if you didn't come home larger than you went there must have been something wrong with you.”

Everything it said it was!
“Entertainment, food, shows, quizzes, games, in fact everything was first class. All staff were happy and accommodating and helpful in every way. We were very lucky to have good weather so entertainment was held in the garden during the day. We were a group of 24 friends and family and have re-booked for next year.”
