Stanton Lakes in Blaby

Really disappointing. We visited yesterday for the first time. A couple and two dogs. Wanted to walk the dogs then go in for lunch. Parked the car and walked to see a fence with a sign clearly saying no public access. Went to reception and a note saying to go to the bar. Went to the bar and no one serving. Waited. So eventually come out to my partner and dogs who was talking to another couple with a dog.m who were also trying to find how to walk around the lake. My partner torn went off to talk to the man fixing his car who said to ask at the bar. He was not very welcoming either was the lady bringing him a drink so my partner wanted to leave. but I perceived and went back to the bar to be welcomed by three very polite young staff who informed me to walk past the no admission sign. So we walked around the beautiful lake and returned for some food. There was one table eating and a group outside on the terrace. Maybe 20 in total and we were told they weren’t serving any more people. So we went to stoney cove down the Road fantastic service and lovely food.

Another great meal the tapas was to perfection, and with the reintroduction of sticky toffee pudding it made a perfect meal. They now have a better selection of of zero drinks, perfect for me. The staff were there usual polite smiley helpful selves. Can’t wait till the next visit.

A lovely campsite facilities very clean just no heating so a bit cold to shower but would still recommend The Bistro on site was amazing we had tapas on Saturday brilliant and a Sunday lunch which is probably the best Sunday dinner we have had in ages Staff were brilliant we will be back Thank you

Great scenery - missed the food serving times but very scenic for a drink and from talking to other there, the food was great. Would visit again to try and catch food

I hadn't even heard of this restaurant until this weekend when my daughter took me for Sunday Lunch. I can thoroughly recommend a visit. We were greeted by very friendly, clean and smartly dressed staff who showed us to our table. The food and drinks were also delivered by very friendly and courteous staff. Our meals were delicious and extremely well presented. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and tidy.

Lovely adult only dog friendly campsite. We had a very relaxing 1x night stay lovely pitch clean facilities and very quiet just what we needed. We had a lovely tapas lunch on the Saturday and a delicious Sunday lunch the next day at the onsite bistro!! Would definitely recommend and can't wait to book in again.

Lovely and friendly staff, excellent service and food. Excellent value money, and the views of the lake from the restaurant are brilliant.

Stayed on the site for 3 nights, lovely and peaceful, great views across the lake, good size pitches, shower and toilet block very clean. Hired the terrace room for a birthday get together, the staff are very friendly and helpful, couldn't do enough for us, allowed us to store a cake in there fridge and helped us put together the cake. Let us in the room early to decorate. Food was amazing. Cannot praise the staff enough. Would recommend. Thanks again for all your help.

Dropped in without booking and welcomed by staff. Absolutely brilliant. We had a selection of Tapas and each one was so tasty Service superb as well. Beautiful setting as well I just wish this Bistro was nearer to home as I would come back lots more. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Took grandchildren for the first time and first tapas, they loved it they said the food great and was Gordon Ramsey in the kitchen. The food & the service was excellent as always, see you soon.

Hadn’t visited for a while so decided to give it a go for a change. We were so glad we made the choice to visit. The food was outstanding with such a good choice of tapas available to suit all tastes. The staff were friendly and attentive nothing was too much trouble. The atmosphere was relaxed with good music in the background.Will recommend to all our family and friends and looking forward to our next visit when hopefully we can sit outside and take in the views across the lake. Well done!

Visited with friends, lovely greeting by staff. The food was delicious as usual, the staff were helpful and polite as normal. Will be back again very soon 😊

Really enjoyed our visit. Our friends who hadn't been before said the food, service was great. Would definitely recommend it. They did ask for better weather next time,! Thanks again for a lovely lunch.

We came for Mother’s Day. The meal options were listed online but unfortunately when we arrived and finally sat at our table the menu had changed. Myself and my 2 children both under 12 decided just to have the vegetables, potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. As we did not have any meat and the vegetarian option wasn’t the best I asked if we could have an extra Yorkshire pudding. When the bill came I had been charged £14 per meal, that included 1 Yorkshire pudding, 2 carrots, 2 parsnips and roast potatoes. The extras were broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower cheese. I pinched some of my sisters as I didn’t have any of my own.. They also charged me £1 extra for each Yorkshire pudding! So for myself and my 2 young children I paid £45!!!! We had waited an hour and a half for the dinner. Which as it was Mother’s Day was understandable. So when I received the bill I just wanted to pay and get gone! 1 of my daughters has a medical condition, they also forgot her dinner so while we all had hers she didn’t.. she was restless and I just wanted to leave. I am leaving this review so everyone can check the bill correctly before you leave! I cannot believe I was charged £45 when I was the only adult and they had charged my 2 children as an adult price. The food itself was lovely I will say. But it would have been a lot cheaper for me to buy the ingredients and cook the dinner myself and still have money left over. Very disappointing.

Delicious food, excellent service, inviting ambiance, and picturesque lakeside setting. A great selection of Tapas dishes. The waiting staff were so attentive and polite, overall a very pleasant dining experience. We will most definitely return. Thank you

Over all food was great, we all enjoyed it. We were there for Sunday Lunch and the mushroom starter was delicious and the roast beef fantastic. Only 2 small things that could make it better, gravy should be in separate jugs so people can decide how much to have, mine was lacking gravy but it is very personal re how much people like. Also cauliflower cheese was short on sauce. Everything else was fantastic, just calling out what would make it perfect

Went there for a family get together ( some not seen for a while), we recommend eating here and wow they lived up to there standards. The food was to die for, I think they’ll be wanting to try tapas next.

Stanton Lakes Restaurant never disappoints. Not quite the Ritz. However the Food, Service, Atmosphere, and views over the lake are superb. One of those places, you just have to go to. “Fabulous””

Food was very well presented with good variety. We used the private room for a baby shower and it was perfect for our needs. All staff were fabulous and couldn’t do enough for us, they are a credit to the Lakes. Thank you all

Great food, friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely recommend. Great views over the lake, even in January. Warm and friendly atmosphere.

What can I say. Booked on line, easy to navigate, parking free and plenty of space, a warm welcome with the most friendliest of staff, lots of choice on the menu - difficult to pick, so much choice, wanted it all. Selected our choices and was not disappointed. The food was amazing, recommend the prawns and the biggest Caesar salad I have ever seen - a meal all in itself! Quality quality food at a reasonable price. Highly highly recommend a visit.

Sunday lunch was really good. Had the roast lamb which was fab and all the rest of the usual Sunday trimmings. Others had the Roast pork which looked nice and the beef which I tasted and which was spot on. Deserts were honest and delicious and were along the lines of sticky toffee pudding, crumbles, brownies etc etc. Waitresses were all very attentive and very much on the ball. Around £16.00 for the mains and £6-7 for starters and deserts which isn't bad considering the quality of the food, service and the setting. Last time we went the weather was much nicer and we sat eating Sunday lunch out on actual decking overlooking the lake. Food was just as good then, so would quite happily recommend visiting. Yeah.. good stuff!

This was a spur of the moment decision as we were let down else where, and wow was I glad. The staff were very accommodating & polite, the food was to die for. Not normally a tapas eater, but have been converted it was delicious 😋 keep it up will be back.👍

I took my elderly mother on Saturday and had not booked in and we were given such a lovely warm welcome and sat so she could look out at the swans on the lake. My mum barely eats and yet she ate the entire sticky toffee pudding and ice cream so it must have been very tasty. We had a couple of tapas dishes and they were absolutely delicious. The staff were all friendly and helpful and there were a few people with dogs that my mum loved to pet which was really nice too. Such a beautiful location and I never knew it was there - definitely recommend and will absolutely be going back Many Thanks

We ordered the taps, we had 5 dishes between 2 of us. The food was cold, the spring rolls came out well done, the ham crocquets where so small and looked lost on the plate. I do not rate the autumn menu, non of the tapas selection went together. We went home very unsatisfied. The restaurant was not busy at all and maybe people aren't returning, we won't be.

Nice friendly welcome on arrival. Very clean restaurant with attentive staff. All four of us really enjoyed our meal (a few more potatoes would of been nice) and a walk around the lake.

Well I need to choose my words carefully as this was a family get together and very much enjoyed for that reason and to be treated by a member of the family was a lovely surprise. But this is a review based on the food and drinks and venue not the people we were with.The Sauvignion Blanc by the glass was practically undrinkable. The apple and parsnip was definitely inedible and no mention of this was made when the whole bowl was taken away at the end. I would have sent it back but it was not the time or place to upset anyone. The pate starter was not served with any crackers just a minute tuile resting on top and it was not particularly tasty and had an odd green colouring on the outside. The turkey roast had one fondant potato with meat balanced on top and small veg with good gravy. We hadn't ordered a pudding but those that had the chocolate fondant said it was dry.The service was fine as there were only 2 other people in the restaurant.Sorry but can't recommend this place to eat based on the meal we were served.

Not having visited here for some time we thought that we would try it out again, I was far from impressed, Saturday evening before Christmas with hardly any other customers than ourselves, lack of atmosphere, it would have been nice to have a little background music, decorations etc. As for the meal again far from impressed, cold plates and the food average and just warm enough. This was definitely our final visit and we shall not be eating there again and would not recommend it to our friends.

we had a lovely sunday lunch with family last weekend . lovely place the food and service were excellent. this was our first visit and we will definitly be returning.

We had a great family Christmas meal here staff were attentive but not overly so. I had the roast beef which I thoroughly recommend and the Christmas pudding was delightful, others had the turkey which they commented was very moist and wondered how so the pear went down a treat the only bad comment was the that the chocolate dish was a bit like a sponge with non of the expected sauce in the middle. But on the hole a great meal for all in pleasant surroundings. Thank you

Christmas crackers and decoration on tables but some of the chairs were a bit low to sit comfortably. The service was good in that everyone's meals arrived within a short time of each other and the staff were efficient and pleasant. My starter- chicken liver parfait was good but could have done with another piece of toast. The main course of turkey was average. One small pig in blanket and no bread or cranberry sauces. There were plenty of vegetables but they were overcooked and lacked much flavour. The Christmas pudding and brandy ice cream however were good. £20 for three courses with coffee extra. An acceptable meal but average. White table linen rather than bare wood tables would be nice for Christmas meals. Nice view over the lake but the lane to the car park is in serious need of better surfacing.

Visiting this superb restaurant once more we found the standards are being well maintained. Clean and immaculate facilities together with matching service and cuisine

Stanton Lakes is one of my favourite places, and today didn't disappoint. The food was to die for, and reasonably priced at £13 fot 2 courses. Love coming here as a treat, and we always feel welcome.

We eat frequently at Stanton Lakes and are always pleased With the food. The menu is more fine dining than pub food so don't expect fish and chips. Having said that the food is extremely well priced at £16 for three courses. The staff are lovely and very friendly and the views from the restaurant over the lake are lovely. We would definitely recommend it for lunch or just a drink. Don't be put off by the entrance drive which has its share of potholes!

Another superb meal at one of Leicestershire's best restaurants. Setting is fantastic. I had the pigeon breast and fillet steak and both were great. The service is spot on and the Helen and Mick are great hosts. Give it a try if you've not been before.

I only ever write reviews if I've had a particularly good experience or a particularly bad one. This was a bad one I'm afraid! Whilst my risotto (after I'd sent it back to reheated as it was cold) was okay, other party member's meals were inedible - cold, tasteless unappetising . It was my mother in laws 80th birthday and she'd specifically asked I book this place because she'd heard so many good things. I would say we were probably just unlucky but even the coffee was awful - tasted like instant! Not what I'd expect from somewhere that seems to be having a (failing in my opinion) stab at fine dining. The staff, I have to say, were lovely but the experience was unsalvageable due to the poor food which we paid full for despite two people not touching theirs.

Excellent Sunday lunch once again in a lovely setting, highly recommend this little gem of a restaurant

Came here for Sunday lunch as was at a bit of a loose end.

5 of us visited for a family lunch and - our first visit. We all enjoyed it very much. The 2 course linch menu at £13 was excellent. Nice food, well presented. Staff were really friendly and helpful and we all decided we would be back again.

We've just had our wedding reception/party, it was brilliant evening, the buffet was absolutely perfect with a massive selection , they were all so friendly and helpful, We highly recommend this venue and when we returned the next day to collect our stuff from the party which they had packed up and put safely out the way. We decided to stay for Sunday lunch which was also delicious

Just had 2 courses from set lunch menu and couldn’t fault it

I was so taken with the lovely setting and the atmosphere at The Stanton Lakes. The service was also excellent and the food was, too. We will be interested to sample their tempting lunchtime menu.

We had an amazing Sunday Lunch, beautfully cooked to perfection as usual.. just wish I hadn’t had the epic home made soup and the mushroom starter as we couldn’t finish the Sunday Roast, both gutted to leave some behind. We certainly didn’t need to eat again on Sunday. Perfect day, perfect food, perfect staff and owners and as a Chef I certainly know a kitchen, front of house, a brigade of talented people, well done and we will be back on Sunday. Portion sizes are excellent, views are epic and certainly no smells having read an odd review. I have a nose for excellence and can smell everything in the air and food being in a similar business.. utter nonsense.

I took my mother to the Lakes yesterday for Sunday lunch, the greeting was great our table and service second to none and the food was presented perfectly. I will be returning with family and business clients in the very near future. Thank you to all at Stanton Lakes.

Have posted an honest review of the afternoon tea here in June at which we were served shop bought frozen cakes and more to the point ones with nuts in having booked nut free, the management contacted us to say that they had reviewed their afternoon tea menu and would like to ask us back for a complimentary tea to see the improvements.

We visit Stanton Lakes weekly, whether it be lunch, Supper or just a drink overlooking the Lake. A beautiful location, fantastic food and ales. Such amazing, welcoming, warm staff and the owners are excellent and very attentive, they sorted out a small situation where two small children were running riot very noisily throughout the ‘what’s normally a very sedate, tranquil relaxing restaurant’, well done to the owners for looking after and considering all their other guests. It’s always a pleasure and an excellent place for scenery, birds, food, gins, camping. I can’t recommend it enough.

Me and a friend visited this restaurant for the second time as we previously had a nice lunch here.

Decent setting/location by the side of a lake. Hideous smell upon entering the car park which was ridden with large potholes.

we visited on a july saturday for lunch. This was a special celebration for our friends..12 people in total. I had grilled goats cheese starter which was very nice. My husband had wild mushroom pate with sourdough wafers...yes wafers they were minute as was the pate the plate was half empty. My main course of Summer salad was beetroot cured salmon etc 3 tiny wafer thin pieces of salmon and a lot of slices of tomato served as a diagonal strip across the plate on a bed on minimal quantity of sampire....this was the size and content of a starter. Luckily I had ordered a side salad mostly 90% lettuce with a little bit of chopped tomato and cucumber . We had a very small side order of chips...very small. The others in the party were also shocked at the portions. We did not want to complain as we did not want to spoil our friends special day which they had invited us to celebrate with them. The desserts were of normal portion size. Sorry to leave a bad review but it is deserved. We will not recommend this restaurant.

The camp site was amazing, fabulous prices, brilliant location, and at night it was very quiet. A bit noisy in the morning due to the busy road which is around 300-400m from where our tent was but it was not enough to wake us up. Would definitely stay again, clean facilities with an actual warm shower, and everyone seemed friendly. Can’t say anything about the restaurant though!

Venue for small family party, thought the place was situated nicely, also reviews for the winter menu was excellent, of course changed for summer menu, which we thought would be just as good.

I have heard lots of good things about this place as we eat out quite a bit around the area.

Considered trying this restaurant for awhile , due to the weather we decided to try it as we wanted somewhere where we could sit out side with a nice view. The external area is not promising however inside it improves somewhat. The lunch menu is varied with sharing platters in addition to individual meals. The mushroom pate was very good and both main courses were well presented and cooked. The banana parfait was really good too. The set menu was very good value Nd will definitely visit again regardless of the weather as the restaurant is a good size with pleasant views across the lake.

My daughter bought me an afternoon tea voucher and we went today. Sat outside as the weather was lovely. Sandwiches fine, tea fine but precooked nut free cakes and when they came I recognised them as frozen cakes from Macro and two had hazelnuts on them. It was only because I recognised them as shop bought that we knew about the nuts. I went and told them and they brought out some extra brownies but I had to remove the nut ones onto a dish so she could take them away. Had my daughter eaten them we could have had real problems and I don’t feel they were vigilant enough. Particularly as she commented that she did remember I asked for nut free when booking.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly , efficient service. However, the food left a lot to be desired. The steak meals were good but the chicken and the vegetarian dish were overpriced for what was served. The portions were tiny and there was very little vegetable and potato accompaniment. The desserts were better.

Seen a few bad reviews for this place but can only assume they were really somewhere else or drunk. We had a great meal with good service. Everything nice and hot and tasty as can be. Don't be put off by negative reviews. And a an added bonus are the views over the lake from the restaurant must be the best in Leicestershire.

We have been visiting Stanton Lakes for many years mostly at lunchtime because it was so family friendly but also in the evenings and we could have light bites as well as main meals. Not realising the menu had changed I book to meet some friends there for lunch.

We visited here around once a month with our family and having been told on the phone there was a new menu I thought they may have just introduced a few new dishes however this is not the case. It seems the restaurant has gone for a drastic change towards a ‘gastro’ menu and unfortunately this wasn’t for us. It doesn’t seem to suit the place or the cliental. It used to be so much better and I hope they rectify this and go back to the laid back family restaurant menu that appealed to all.

Visited today in a large group a lovely venue great views over the water great friendly staff a fantastic choice of menu we all had starters and main course roast beef or pork or lamb excellent tasty food plenty of it all our group throughly enjoyed ourselves thank you Stanton lakes we will be back

Spent my wedding anniversary at Stanton Lakes. Wonderful venue and great staff. Super day. Thanks all

I went here for a meal with a group of friends. I hadn't been here for a few years as it close to home. Last time I visited they had a fish & chip offer with a drink on a Friday night. We were informed before we booked that they had changed their chef as we were due to have pie & mash but their menu had changed. I ordered Duck ravoli for a starter which was not very hot & the menu said it was served with spinach but I found no spinach but mushrooms instead. It was a good job I am not allergic to mushrooms as it did not state that they were in the dish on the menu. For mains I had a quiche with goats cheese. It was served with beetroot and a lack of vegetables. I was still hungry after eating it, it could have done with potatoes & more vegetables to go with it. I had to order a pudding due to still being hungry. I was disappointed as I ordered cheese & biscuits and they didn't have any! I don't think this restaurant is suited to be upmarket and it was much better how it was before. I didn't think the food was anything special considering it had gone more upmarket. I won't be returning here in a hurry.

Visited here with family. Our order was taken quickly and the food arrived in quick time and all together, not in dribs and drabs. The food was very tasty and arrived hot, it was well presented and not overly priced for 2 courses. I will definitely visit again and highly recommend!

Visited Stanton lakes today for a family meal, there was 10 of us in total with 4 children, we were seated immediately, drinks came quickly and our food order was taken. The food then arrived quickly, for the whole party, beef was delicious and a huge variety of vegetables, we also then had dessert- amazing!!

Visited today for the first time with family was fantastic place food was amazing, had two course Sunday lunch which was very reasonably priced would recommend the rhubarb and granola, will definitely visit again

The change of menu for us is a positive & prompted the visit.The menu isn’t extensive but the starters especially the beetroot cured salmon were very good.The chicken supreme mains were also good but crispy skin would of been preferred to the “soggy” skin they came with.

This was my favourite restaurant for many years however due to a complete change of menu I will sadly not be returning. I would have recommended this restaurant to anyone as it catered for all however I no longer feel this way. I understand that things change in time but to drastically change the menu is too much of a change, the food is ok but the price is now a lot higher and it is not as good as before, it is like a new restaurant. There are only 8 dishes to choose from and it feels as if the restaurant belongs in the centre of town, not in Stanton. Such a shame but I hope it does well.

We have been to Stanton lakes a lot over the years. However the menus have changed. We went at lunch time and didn't order anything. We have now been in the evening and I now feel that it is over priced and limited in choice. We went as a group of 4 people and we all felt the same.

The 6 of us all had excellent meals last Friday evening. The new chef served up some delicious food - the mackerel scotch egg was cooked perfectly, the sea bass was very tasty and the rhubarb crumble was perfect. The others were all really pleased with their choices too.

What a fantastic place to have lunch by a lake with brilliant food . Couldn’t fault a single thing . The food/menu was perfect and had something for the x4 of us to choose from . Amazing service with a smile ( especially young Toby who is a credit to you !). Will be back very very soon .

We have often eaten at the Lakes and enjoyed the meals, so when friends asked us to join them for lunch we had no hesitation, however the whole menu has changed to Gourmet and all the old favourites have gone. Not our choice of meal we prefer the old traditional style. Sadly we will not be visiting for a meal in the near future.

Had a sizzle meal with my husband, a special night out.

We have been to Stanton Lakes before but had forgotten what a little gem it is. We were given a warm welcome and felt at ease immediately.

Overpriced, horrible menu. Actually did not order a thing. Someone needs to look at this menu so it appeals to everyone. Two people on my table ordered fish and chips and I am glad I didn’t waste my money. Fish looked like stodge and one arrived with 9 chips - yes I counted them. Atmosphere was awful due to a large table of drunken louts who were continued to be served alcohol despite shouting at each other but the young staff did not seem that concerned for the other guests.

Went for Sunday lunch 8 of us three courses all different and they were all great.Excellent food and great service Would highly recommend it.

Took my husband there totally by mistake but was very pleased.We were due to go elsewhere but called into Stanton Lakes to see what it was about I’m glad we did as we had a very nice 2 course lunch for £12.We were greeted by two lovely young ladies and shown to our seats with a view over the lake.Lunch was very nice and we had good service.In honesty the lake looks boring nothing happening on it and no sign of anything ever happening.However have to give a “thumbs up” for the restaurant.

The food was disgusting and very over priced I been before it was better but this time is was awful. My friends had soup and it came out cold and had to be re heated, had risotto and it was dry tasteless and looked just like rice pudding it was horrible I won’t be going again !!

Was treated to lunch for my birthday and had a lovely time, weather was awsome, food was great, drinks were cold and the company was 1st class! Love it!

Food and staff are lovely. Really nice outdoor area, and very peaceful. Would definitely recommend. Perfect for anything, wether it’s a few drinks with a friend, or a big family meal.

Despite the wintry weather we visited and found not merely a tranquil and peaceful lake with a excellent restaurant on its shores. Excellent food with steak pies leading the way.A must visit in the late spring with weather enhancing scenery

One of the best Sunday roasts! And a very reasonable for a 3 course meal! The food is fresh, always hot and there’s a great choice of meats and fish etc. The veg is all served separately in side dishes and portions are generous.

Lovely food, fantastic friendly service and good knowledge of gluten free options.good choice on the menu.

Sunday lunch was excellent, lots of meat, the most delicious gravy and cauliflower cheese. Will most definitely be returning.

warm and welcoming atmosphere, small resturant well served by friendly staff. Have been on a few occasions aleays good meal.

Heard good things about Stanton Lakes so took my elderly mother. The young staff were welcoming and efficient. Good choice for all three courses. The food was cooked well and portion sizes were very good. The only downside is that the room became a little noisy, not because of the children but some adults !

A small but pleasant restaurant set within a water sports complex. Not an extensive menu but quality dishes, the food is top quality and this establishment certainly warrants a visit.

The quality of the water is great and Jai is so knowledgeable the facilities are really good and price is very good too Will be back next year

Attend a wedding here, which was beautiful but before and after the event was managed awful and left a bad taste. Before the service we were told that our 2 year old, who was just being a little over friendly but no trouble, had to be kept in the small area by the bar and could not go into the restaurant area (where there were a small amount of dinners, laughing at our little boy) this was annoying as it was difficult to explain to a toddler who thought he wasn't doing anything wrong. After the wedding, which finished quite early around 6pm a few of us went back into the bar area, but we're asked to keep the noise down, I appreciate they had other dinners but we did not feel we had made any more noise than anyone else.

Had an amazing meal here,we came for the fish and chip night,i can honestly say this is the best meal we have had for along time,it was cooked to perfection,Service was very efficient and staff friendly.We will definately be returning soon.

It was our first time here.Found almost by accident. We were prepared just to have a drink in this lovely setting outside but decided to ask if there was a table free for dinner. Yes there was!!. It is not a big restaurant but we were all happy with the quality of the food and the service. It was busy also so I guess we were lucky to get a table. Certainly will be going back..

My first time here and I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were very helpful and the food very good. Ideal place for lunch, unwind and enjoy the scenery as you look across the water.

We stopped by for lunch for 4 of us at a weekend. They had to print more menus as there were not enough, we then had to wait for our order not having told what the specials were.

I was really happy to find a place to take my kids camping for the first time that was close to home. When I arrived to check in i informed the lady I spoke to that I would have a few visitors coming up to have a bbq with us which her reply was thats fine as long as they leave before 10.30pm. We set up camp and my friends came up. Within an hour the owners had come to me asking how many are staying and that they needed to leave at 9pm!I was also told to keep my children quiet as the site aren't used to having "big" parties there was only 10 of us in total and 4 where leaving. I will not be using it again as I feel we where racially targeted as there were other families wih children and they didn't feel the need to tell their children to be quiet bearing in mind that my children were not even noisey.it's a real shame as the site itself is beautiful but next time I shall go somewhere more inviting like Billin Aquadrome.

A group of us decided an overnight camping trip would be much needed break and a treat for the children who were extremely excited. Having previously visited Stanton lakes on numerous occasions for drinks, we thought this would be perfect. NEVER again! We were made to feel unwelcome, we were watched, (closely) visitors were asked to leave earlier than originally stated. The children were counting the ducklings as we walked around the lake (being very good) and we were told “our campers are not used to large parties” bearing in mind that Stanton Lakes has taken our names and ages prior to visiting. On the whole, very disappointing! Totally ruined our weekend, and the children’s experience of camping. Next time we shall book a child friendly campsite, as that is what camping is all about!

Good food and great location. Really peaceful for a Sunday. Well priced and decent portions, 2 mains, 2 desserts and 4 drinks all for under £50

beautiful surroundings, Lake and wildlife surrounds bar restaurant and terrace. Campsite well kept 17 pitches and new toilet/shower block (regularly cleaned) water and waste but unfortunately no where to wash up - so dont forget the washing up bowl ;)

Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Beautiful location. Food all good except we maybe didn’t choose well with lamb but didn’t detract from overall experience. Hi

This was my first visit, and how pleased I was with the lovely surroundings and setting overlooking the lake. Lovely selection of a menu with great service👍🏼 Highly recommended

This restaurant was a gem. The staff were very helpful and the food was very good, much better than your average. Situated at the side of a lake it would be ideal location in Leicestershire during the summer as outside tables are provided. However it is advisable to phone to reserve a table, because even on a Friday it was pretty full.

This was my first visit to the premises on the occasion of my wife's birthday.

Came to the Lakes last night for a meal with a friend. This place is a hidden gem. The setting is beautiful, gorgeous on a Summers evening but was warm cosy and so welcoming last night. We both had salmon fillet which was just scrumptious. Lovely potato bake with it and the whole thing was just so tasty. No room for pud but sure they are lovely too. The restaurant is modern clean and very comfortable. We don’t live far and are regular visitors. If you’ve never been you’ve missed a treat!
