Bowness on Windermere, Cumbria, LA23 3EL

Bowness break
We wanted a few days away and have stayed in a few places around the lakes but thought we'd splash out a bit as we;re getting older and try The Belsfield.
I could go on about the staff, the location or the unpretentious style and comfort but basically I
now wouldn't consider anywhere else for our next visit.
Winter short break
Lovely hotel in a great location. Reception and restaurant staff very good. The Hotel is stunning and right on Lake Windermere. The only negative is the waiting staff in the bar only collected empty glasses and never asked if you required another and I think for a 4 **** hotel this was bad. But we still had a nice break.

Lovely honeymoon hotel
We stayed for 2 nights in a lake view room that was spotlessly clean & had a lake view. Due to Covid restricting the menus was limited which we were only told about 2 deys before the stay, this was very disappointing as we were looking fine dining. The service was ok in the restaurant , our waiter couldn t pour wine properly & spilled red wine over the table , was a bit frantic in there on one night as there was a wedding going on and staff were stretched (Seems to be the case everywhere though, as had the same thing in another hotel).
On arrival we asked for our pre ordered champagne to be served in the garden , we were told it was in our room but we had arrived before check in time. After asking some one else it was brought to us.
We asked if we could order food in the garden & told no as there was a wedding going on & staff were busy serving! Again , after querying this we were told we could order but had to sit inside!
The next day guests were being served food outside ?
The bar area is very nice & Taylor makes the most amazing cocktails . Please note that you are given a basic wine list (we didn t fancy any of these), we then discovered on day 2 that there was another longer list/ you need to ask for it! A few staff were not wearing masks , one had an exemption lanyard but the others didn t ? One member of staff constantly wore his under his nose. At the time of our stay there was a restricted wedding with under 30 guests, it seems they were also exempt from wearing masks or any other rules as they were going to the bar for drinks with no masks (we were told table service only) , all dancing & not distancing. A bit of a sting when we did none of this at our wedding. The hotel were turning a blind eye & short staffed. On the whole it s a beautiful hotel , but we ve stayed at the Shangrila at the Shard for the same money where the service was far, far better. I would return but only if the rooms were on offer.

Lovely stay in beautiful location
Great hotel in stunning location. We stayed in a lovely room overlooking the lake. The hotel had only been open a month since lockdown. Not all services were available during our stay but the staff worked really hard to look after us. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Short break
Lovely hotel good evening meal.Short of food items at breakfast.Crockery in room dusty and crumbs down side of chairs.
Just needs more attention to rectify these complaints but we enjoyed our stay very much the decorations are beautiful and it was really comfortable with the best view.
