Great break. Restaurant needs low lighting for evening meals. Too bright for a romantic meal/setting.

Otherwise brilliant.

Our stay

We were looking forward to a break and chose the Briery Wood from Offpeak luxury.com. Nice hotel in a good location for visiting the Lake District. Whether it was due to opening up because of Lockdown, there were a few niggles which annoyed us. On one evening having booked for dinner we were waiting for 45 minutes before being taken through. We ordered a rose wine which tasted off and was sent back but this was not deleted from our bill. The breakfast was excellent but the menu for evening meal was in our opinion limited in choice.

Relaxing break

We enjoyed our stay at Briery Wood. Our room had recently been renovated and was tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and had an extremely comfortable bed, one of the most comfortable we've slept in when away. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, although some of the breakfast orders did get a little muddled some mornings and occasionally the coffee was a little on the weak side depending on who made it - all easily rectified. The Dinner menu was a little restricted for someone staying more than 3 or 4 nights, however, the food was delicious and excellently presented. The overall ambience in the dining room could be improved by staggering the tables a little - they were all in rows and so close that you couldn't have a private conversation if someone was at the next table. All in all, we had a good holiday and would book again for a short break perhaps.

Definitely. 'Stay again' hotel!

A very enjoyable stay. On arrival desk staff were relaxed, welcoming, informative and provided a mini tour of the social areas, all of which contributed to the feeling that we were staying in a country house rather than a hotel.
Our room was delightful, it had a lovely atmosphere, was huge and again we had the feeling of being in a home rather than a souless hotel. The 2 windows (one a full length balcony with original double doors) provided views over the beautiful front gardens. The en suite unusually had a jacuzzi bath, plus overhead shower both were lovely. In general the room, especially the en suite, would have benfitted from an update but without destroying the ambience (hence the good rather than excellent room rating).
The evening meal was delightful, from the service (proficient but definitely not stuffy) through to the quality of the food. Retirement to the bar revealed an amazing array of spirits, including 60+ sorts of gin!

Pleasant stay for 2 nights.

We enjoyed our 2 nights at Briery Wood. Room was pleasant opening onto the garden area nice for a morning walk. Room was clean and warm. The prosecco which should have been chilling in our room on arrival was forgotten but we advised reception and had wine with dinner instead.
Dinner was lovely on both evenings portions small but well prepared and presented. Breakfast was nice hot when served and freshly cooked.
Too far out of Windermere on a very busy road to walk but did an early trip to ensure we could park.
Walked to the lake from Windermere which was pleasant.
Would certainly recommend to friends or family looking for a couple of relaxing nights.
