The staff was very helpful. Breakfast buffet was wonderful. The building and grounds were beautiful and a reminder of the elegant past. We arrived at night and woke up to a beautiful view of the lake. Highly recommend.

We had a fabulous stay at the Belsfield. The hotel is beautiful with fantastic views. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. The staff were most helpful. There was a huge choice of food and beverages at breakfast. We will choose this hotel again when visiting the area.

Disappointing

Booked The Belsfield as it was cheaper than others in the Lakes. On arrival, scaffolding, ladders, and dirt greeted us. Check in felt unprofessional, and the carpets and corridors were marked, smelly, and dated. Room was tired with damp on the bathroom ceiling. Noise was an issue screaming and loud furniture moving next door in the middle of the night. Reception moved them but communication was poor. Breakfast was cramped, dark, and uninviting, with a “sit anywhere” policy. Check out was slow with only one person on the desk and no interest in how our stay was. The hotel seems focused on exterior work while the interior desperately needs refurbishment. Would not return

It was our 25th anniversary and to our surprise we were upgraded to the bridal suite which was a lovely gesture. The hotel is ideally placed for all amenities, the staff were lovely but our overriding though was that the hotel is looking old and tired with scaffolding erected at the front which made the £250 a night excessively over priced.

Great Dame very beautiful setting in the heart of Windermere. Easy walking distance into town. Our room was small but beautiful and comfy. The bathroom was modern and clean. Only one downside was the breakfast it was really not great. Service was excellent though.
