Fantastic stay

From the moment we arrived until the moment we left all the staff were friendly and helpful. Always greeted with a smile and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely clean modern room and amazing food. Great location as only 5 minute walk to Brockhole where you could catch a lake cruise or try an outdoor activity.

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!

1 Night Stay

My husband and I stayed for just one night as a little break during a house renovation. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and it really felt like home from home. Lovely room with the comfort of a huge bed, very clean and as expected. If I had to make a complaint it would be that the bath was a jacuzzi bath but unfortunately didn't work but the hotel and staff were so lovely that we didn't mind too much. Excellent food and restaurant with very attentive waiters. Overall a lovely nights stay.

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.

October break

This hotel was very friendly and exceptionally good value. It's position is convenient for both Windermere and Ambleside and there are many good walks nearby. We would stay there again.
