Perfectly situated hotel, easily walkable into Bowness and all its attractions. The Belsfield has beautiful grounds and although maybe could do with a slight refresh it’s still a beautiful hotel with lots of charm and character. Breakfast was good and speedily served. The staff are polite and attentive and big shout out to the barman on Saturday evening who made me the best mai tai I’ve ever tasted. The only issue we had was parking related, we arrived at about 3.30pm on the Saturday and the car park was full. We managed to get a space later once the late lunch visitors left. Next time we visit the Lakes we would choose to stay here again.

Great location . Friendly staff. Good breakfast. But I was annoyed at having to pay £15 parking in what is a public car park so difficult to find a car spot. I was insulted to have to pay £15 for half litre of still water to take to room, for these 2 reasons We wouldn’t stay there again.

On arrival, hotel was beautiful from the outside. Very clean reception/bar and restaurant area. We were very pleased and excited! Just to add, £15 parking for guests for a 24 hour period, which we knew about and fair for the area. Safe car park. Great location, walked into Windermere in the evening and had some tea out. 10/10 for location. The fire alarm sounded at 3:00am, which wasn’t an issue as this is health and safety, and as a suspected fire we evacuated straight away. Everyone was gathered in the car park and reception area, there was no communication from staff in hi-vis, they just allowed us back in still with alarm sounding. I got an update from other guests to inform us they were still looking for the cause of the alarm?? Information appeared to be given to guests sat in reception, those in the car park was left to find out themselves. The walls are paper thin, at 0600 we were woken to next doors shower on, upstairs floorboards & the neighbours talking getting ready for breakfast. Breakfast was lovely, beautiful room and good service. Nice view from the window. Got back up to the room after having breakfast, and thought we’d have a nice coffee looking out of our lake view room. A maintenance man was in the room next door, with his tool box outside our door, drilling, knocking, making all sounds. Check out is 11am, so please, if you want a nice chill out morning this hotel isn’t for you.

Excellent ! We had always liked the look, style and location of the Belsfield when it was owned by Laura Ashley but this was our first time staying. We did have reservations due to some guests leaving the negative feedback. But I can honestly say we had one of the best hotel experiences you could ask for, the stuff were friendly and very helpful. The room was large and had a very relaxing feel to it with great decoration. I’m Vegan and my wife is veggie but we had no problems at breakfast, the dinning rooms also have an amazing view of the lake. We had an absolutely fabulous time and will definitely be staying again.

A hotel I always wanted to stay at and I took the opportunity when I could. The hotel is living on its past. The place needs a lot of tlc to bring it up to standard it is shabby in places and attention to detail is lacking. We paid additional for a Lake view room and the view could not be faulted however the room was in need of the tlc I refer to, the wallpaper was torn in several places above the bed head there were pink stains along the carpet and the bathroom whilst big with a good shower again needed attention in particular to the bath panel and the mixer shower which was not in use. Breakfast is acceptable, hot food is cooked to order but for the price you pay I would have expected more choice and better quality on continental e.g fresh fruits or raisins/sultanas. The majority of the staff are very pleasant and helpful which makes you feel valued. I overheard a number of guests commenting that service/quality had gone down hill since the hotel was taken over. It’s a lovely location and could be an outstanding hotel if the small details were addressed but unfortunately I will not return as There are definitely better hotels in the vicinity and the icing on the cake was the £15 charge for parking which has been introduced.
