Late autumn break

A thoroughly enjoyable break on the shore of Lake Windermere. Four nights of storm, snow and sun!

A very enjoyable break.

Very nice hotel good location access from the road could be better. Staff very helpful and friendly service very good the food exceptional. Room good and clean with plenty of accessories only drawback was the pillow and mattress covers made us perspire.

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!

Very disappointed that the evening menu didn t change and ran out of one of the main courses. However breakfast was excellent.

Comfortable stay. Rooms on the small side and rather restrictive. Our room was in the corridor opposite the back/ outside of the kitchen so the humming of the extractor early morning until past 9pm was very annoying.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious, well presented.
The hotel was dog friendly which is nice for people traveling with dogs but if not hearing dogs barking could be irritating.
