Excellent hotel, wonderful area

Craig D, Lancashire, stayed: January 2024

The Belsfield hotel is very impressive both inside and out. Every member of staff we spoke to was very friendly and helpful and this made our stay very special. Our visit to the restaurant was on our first night and we found the meal wonderful. Our room was very big and had everything you needed, we really didn't expect such a large room. We have stayed here previously and did not have all this luxury last time. Thankyou very much!! We had vouchers for free drinks and also money towards our meal on our first night. We also had a free cruise on Windermere. All this was included when we booked here via Off Peak Luxury. We will definitely be staying here again and also booking through Off Peak Luxury. Thankyou for making our stay so memorable. We will be back !!

The Belsfield is excellent

Wendy A, Lancashire, stayed: February 2024

Our two day stay couldn t have been better. The restaurant food is special. The staff were friendly and obliging, particularly the guy who welcomed us as we arrived (23-25 February) he was also very helpful with the parking situation on the Saturday evening and found us a place to park as the car park was full. The view over the lake from the restaurant and some of the lounges is amazing!

The Belsfield Hotel weekend break

Sarah, Derbyshire, stayed: November 2024

Our weekend (Saturday to Monday) was a much needed break for relaxation and to get away from it all. We weren't disappointed. The staff were very attentive, polite and nothing was too much trouble. The room was very nice with a lakeside view. My only complaint would be that the room, and the rest of the hotel was far too hot. We turned off our radiator and opened the window but we were still too hot. We both woke up in the morning unable to breathe easily, quite 'bunged up'. Although we absolutely thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we both came home feeling unrested and with a cough and slight cold. We believe this was due to the 'stuffiness' of the room. However, this hasn't put us off, we will definitely return to The Belsfield.

Good hotel

Cathy, Shropshire, stayed: April 2024

We had a lovely stay at the Belsfield. Staff are helpful and friendly, very approachable. The hotel is good but doesn't quite live up to it's own hype.
Our Lakeview room was ok, but not with the 'beautiful d cor, elegant furnishings and delightful fabrics' that the website promised. Very plain with heavy furniture. The window was quite small and sills attracted doves and pigeons so the windows were muck-streaked. But what a view, especially when the sun shone.
The restaurant is elegant with views over the lake but again doesn't live up to it's 4 star hype and you just feel corners are cut. At dinner we each had a cheese souffle starter. The souffles were overdone, and there were 2 rather flat souffles on top of each other in a pool of quite spicy gazpacho. The burger was ok and tasty but the pork rather bland. We were told they were out of the prawns and lamb. Just a bit under whelming.
Breakfast could have been better. No chopped fruit salad, instead slices of melon and pineapple which was a battle to cut. Monday morning at 9am they had run out of sausages. The menu said streaky bacon, it was back bacon. Menu said poached 'eggs' Benedict, but only a single egg. Also 'hand carved ham' but it was clearly pre sliced. Fried eggs clearly had been sitting for some time, not freshly cooked. In fact the cooked breakfast came so quickly it was clear it wasn't freshly cooked. Just not what was expected of a 4 star hotel.
At least we weren't charged the 15 per day parking charges - quite wrong to charge hotel guests.
We enjoyed our stay but it just wasn't quite as good as expected.
