"I have nothing to compare it with as this is my first experience of youth hostels in 40 years. I was impressed. I loved the open area, bar and restaurant. The dormitory was excellent. Beds were well spaced, ample plug sockets, mattress & pillows excellent. Clean sheets and super mattress. The bed was as good as any 5 star hotel. Honestly. The shower was clean but a little small. The facilities in the kitchen were good but some of the pans had loose handles. The staff clearly clean but somehow...

Top Borrowdale Hotel Reviews

The Belsfield Hotel

The Belsfield Hotel

8/10 Good
"Only issue we had was i asked for breakfast on sunday morning, earlier than the usual breakfast time due to me running windermere marathon. I asked twice, once when arrived, and again the saturday afternoon for breakfast to be ready early. It did not arrive, i had less than 20 mins to have food before my race. The hotel explained it was sent to the wrong room. Not great. Other than that our stay was lovely, when i didn’t need to rush around for breakfast it was very nice, their meals in the restaurant was also very nice. The staff were great too other than that one time in the sunday."
