We had a great weekend here for our 40th wedding anniversary, all the staff very friendly and helpful. Had room 66 with a fab 4 poster bed and a great view over the lake. We ate in the main restaurant for dinner and it was sumptuous honestly like a Michelin star! Breakfast is spot on, everything you need and more. It’s a big old building with lots of character but nicely upgraded too. Will be back 😊

Love the hotel room the four poster bed with the lake view. Great location, very close to the shopping area, cafes, bars, restaurants & the lake. Breakfast need to improve, very standard, not many options. We extended our stay, but we were little bit disappointed how the house keeping tidy up our bed. Should be the same quality as we checked in, not very tidy as supposed to be, specially with the room we paid.

We had stayed at the Belsfield before the pandemic, and thought it was a lovely hotel, but I haven’t stayed there since as it was just a bit too expensive. However we got a good deal for our two nights in February, so jumped at the chance to make a booking. I then I read the reviews! And a lot, especially from last year were not very positive at all, so we did not have high expectations when we arrived. However, we were very pleasantly surprised our room (number 45) was a lovely big family room with a large modern bathroom and it just had a lovely feel to it. Breakfast was great and they were very accommodating and the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay. The only negative from when we visited the first time was having to pay for parking, but I suppose it is such a premium in Bowness, and when you think about it, you would have to pay that if you stayed in a city centre hotel.

Great location…….but

Great location and public areas comfortable and inviting, however the lake view room was smaller than expected and too warm. (The radiator couldn’t be turned down however there was air conditioning in the room but it seems environmentally unfriendly to have the heating and cooling working against each other). I do object to having to pay an additional £30 to park the car in the hotel car park for our 2 night stay. As I have previously stated the hotel is in a great location but I wouldn’t stay again as I don’t think it was good value for money.
