The Belsfield Hotel

The Room was fine ,bar service frendily staff and Breakfast was good with staff waiting on great stay

Our first stay at The Belsfield, and a delightful experience. Our room was spacious, well appointed, with a delightful view of Windermere. We appreciated the bathroom, with heated floor, large bath and separate shower. The grounds are well-maintained, featuring an attractive shrubbery and an interesting variety of trees and wildlife. Breakfast was excellent and our evening meal was first-rate, beautifully presented and reasonably priced. The exceptional feature of this hotel, is its staff. Every member of staff we met was courteous and obliging and we will certainly be making a return visit.

Generally very good with nice room, bar area, restaurant and gardens. Staff very helpful particularly Ashley on Reception and Joy in the restaurant. Breakfast first class. Fantastic views of the lake from the hotel. My only concern with dining was the limited vegetarian options for my partner in the restaurant. The other disappointment was being charged £15 per day for parking when at the time of booking the parking was supposed to be included. As I had booked through Hotels. com I was informed nothing could be done and I had to pay the cost. It was an unfortunate end to a wonderful stay.

Our first visit to the property for a number of years. We use to stay here quite frequently under the Laura Ashley umbrella. We were very lucky to be upgraded prior to our visit, I received a call a couple of days before our visit. However, we were told about the ground works to the garden over looking Lake Windermere. The check isn’t wasn’t the best, computer screen in the way of the receptionist, management tell staffing to stop cleaning the hotel lobby. The bar has been rebranded, we decided to opt to visit a local bar/pub instead of having a drink in the hotel. The room was very warm, but had a comfy bed and a large Tv. It was disappointing to see the ground works from our lake view room. I’m a little surprised this wasn’t mentioned on the call prior to our visit or on check in. There was a selection of hot breakfast options, pastries, cereal with a pre made coffee urn or a coffee machine. Which felt a little back of house. We use to quite enjoy the breakfast menu offered to order from our previous stays. All in all, I was a bit taken away from what is such a special hotel for myself and wife. Hopefully the new management company will keep pushing the property forward but it’s definitely lost some of its charm from the Laura Ashley Belsfield we know and loved.

Beautiful. Elegant. Imposing. The hotel is a stunning place to stay. We got an upgrade room overlooking the lake. Fantastic location in Bowness-on-Windermere and a hot buffet breakfast overlooking the lake in the morning.
