Beautiful last minute stay (DBB) at the Belsfield Hotel, with amazing views and quiet/cosy room

Can only add that this hotel is our favourite in Bowness-on-Windermere, and we try and stay every year or so, for a real treat, as everything is just made for the most relaxing and enjoyable stay, completely stress free. All the staff are amazing and really friendly, which makes the stay even more enjoyable / special.

Plenty of room for improvement

Arrived after 3pm room not ready.Service in restaurant very poor waited half an hour for order to be taken.Menu choice poor,other tables received wrong orders.Fish soggy batter,hard chips,lukewarm peas.
On checkout charged for water.4Star not .Will not return as beautiful building in need of overall.

Another lovely stay

Having stayed before we knew room 1 was suitable for my husband s wheelchair.
The staff were extremely helpful, the food delicious as usual and the location is ideal. My husband can enjoy the view from the lounge while I can walk locally as know the area. We will definitely go again.

Beautiful setting, attractive decor, some glitches

Stunning views. lovely friendly staff .Restaurant beautiful with stunning views. Menu disappointing. Definitely not gourmet standard. Poached eggs stone cold.
Had requested a ground floor room. Indeed got a ground floor room- accessed by a lift, followed by a long corridor with a few steps up, ending with a full flight down of steep narrow stairs. Not what we had hoped for! We do understand difficult lay out of old hotels with extensions.
Reception staff could not have been more helpful. Told them that despite the glitches this time we would try it again. Friendly gentleman walked me around the hotel showing me the layout and best rooms to ask for next time.

2 night stay with friends

Our arrival was really excellent and the reception staff and porter were amazing, the same can t be said of all the bar staff or even one of the managers. The package we had included a boat trip and everything was ready and waiting for us. The bar kept running out of things like Hendrix gin! Fever tree Tonic which they substituted with one that left a horrible after taste in your mouth. The manager who served us in that occasion said no slimline, but the bottle said very low calories, surely that s slimline. The reason we were given for such a poorly stocked bar was a change in ownership of the hotel resulting in a change of supplier. We were directed to the garden one afternoon by a bar tender by going through the small restaurant, however when trying to return the same way we were very abruptly told we couldn t do that it wasn t allowed and a point of the Managers finger sent us around the outside of the building. When I said we were told to enter the garden that way he then admonished the person who told us we could, right in front of us what a bad management style. Each morning we were left standing at the restaurant waiting to be seated while a lady continued taking orders from other guests, on one occasion 3 orders, she had even seen us arrive, poor service. Overall it is a beautiful character hotel but it is in need of a fair bit of TLC in the public areas (our room was beautiful though). Our room was amazing and looked over the lake and the package was good but allowing for the poorly stocked bar and some poorly trained staff and managers I would not say it was a luxurious hotel which is a shame. Having said that we would return with the right package as the location is fabulous.
