Drop in Standards

We have stayed at this hotel on many occasions and had the pleasure of having our daughters wedding here as well
However, we were so disappointed in the drop of standards since our last visit.
Bar - selection of wine choice was extremely poor and the wines that were available were poor quality
Room - walls were dusty, grout in bathroom was black with mildew ,sink was cracked, radiators top were missing. Paint was peeling off the wall
Restaurant - the food quality was very good and service however the value has diminished. I would not expect to pay 40 for a steak and then pay for chips as an addition. Breakfast selection was diminished to bare minimum with cereal selection of only a few choices, with no bran options at all and cooked option was very very small. Nothing like it used to be

Poor Dining Experience

Only had fifteen covers so harder t manage well in my experience. Limited menu but 25% of courses not available. Most astounding was when we asked for mustard to garnish steaks we were told they didn t have any !!!
A basic cafe always has a jar of Coleman s around , embarrassing
Drink service slow too.
The hotel is otherwise excellent and when they get to spring hopefully the restaurant picks up. The hotel was full but very few people used the restaurant.mThey clearly were more prescient than us

Present for christmas/ valentine s day.

Helpful, friendly, welcoming staff. Very clean. Delicious food. In a beautiful location.

Relaxing Break

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed yet another relaxing break away at The Belsfield. All the staff were welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The staff gave us time to enjoy ourselves however we chose and yet were always on hand to ensure we had everything we wanted. Excellent, homely service so please don t change too much in the future as these are qualities which matter most and ensure that we, like so many others, keep coming back to stay at the beautiful Belsfield. Many thanks from Sue and Steve Dainty.

Excellent hotel, wonderful area

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 !!

Had a nice stay

Had a nice stay ,. dinner in the restaurant the room was rather
Cold had to ask if they could put some heat on , could not eat meal quick enough so could get out, breakfast room was warmer

In need of refurbishment

Free dinner on first night was very poor. Both ordered souffle as a starter and received a charred concoction in a dish. Any decent chef would not have let that starter leave the kitchen even the waiter looked embarassed.
Dinner menu poor but they redeemed themselves with the breakfast which was good.
Room poor, old furniture, chipped sink in the bathroom, windows with plantation blinds that did not open or close properly. Definitely in need of refurbishment which spoilt the overall experience.
Staff were lovely, location is beautiful and handy for lake trips and Bowness centre.
Would definitely stay here again after it has undergone refurbishment as the room spoilt the experience.

Belsfield Hotel

We had a two night relaxing stay with lake cruise included which we thoroughly enjoyed. Our room was a bit small and out on a limb however the furnishings were tasteful and the bathroom was luxurious. I ran myself a bath but the plug kept wanting to float so I ended up holding it with my hand until the bath had fully run then I had to hold it with my foot while having the bath to keep it in place! We had a three course meal included in our stay on the first night. Whilst this was a nice gesture we would have appreciated a more down to earth menu as we struggled to find something to our liking, maybe a chicken dish. Breakfast was buffet style but you could order a cooked breakfast if you wished to have one. The breakfasts arrived quickly and were tasty but the bacon was always a bit dry and hard, we assumed it had been kept warm under a heat lamp and this was the reason. There was a nice assortment of cold choices for breakfast, one being a fruit salad which we enjoyed on the first morning, however on the second morning it was nowhere to be consistency would have been nice. We found the staff very helpful and pleasant throughout our stay and the ambience of the hotel was inviting, calm and relaxing. We would return to this hotel again as the view and location was excellent, however a more varied menu would be appreciated.
