Very helpful and polite staff. Room clean and well decorated, only downside looked over car park no lake. Breakfast was very good and plenty of it. Only down fall was mattress very soft so my husband and myself didn’t sleep well. Need curtains as shutters didn’t close well so room was very dark.

I do not understand how this hotel maintains a 4 Star rating. The room was very small, no Aircon, no fridge, not even tissue in the bathroom. The rooms were very expensive and they charged an extra 15 Pounds per night for parking. Yes, the view was lovely from the dining room windows, but not from our room. Breakfast was always a comedy of errors. The staff did not seem to prepare for breakfast ahead of time, waiting until things stopped working (the coffee machine) or ran out before refilling. The English breakfast was served with grossly over cooked eggs, bacon and sausages. Eggs Benidict was served with cold ham and Bearnaise sauce was cold and made from a packet and poached eggs were cooked as hard as rocks. Definitely some work to be done with kitchen staff training and quality. One evening I went to the bar. I asked to have a cocktail from their menu, it seemed as if I was the first person this season to ask for one. It took over 1/2 an hour to make it, at least two people were involved and the end result was one of the worst tasting cocktails I have ever had. To end on a high note, we had beautiful weather and wonderful meals in restaurants in Bowness and Windermere (not in the Belsfield). I will return to the Lake District in the future, but the Belsfield Hotel will not be in my plans.

Not at all what we expected. Check in was very slow and one of the guys on the desk looked very scruffy in an ill fitted suit. The bedroom was very tired with paper peeling off the walls. We were very disappointed. A shower head that kept dripping water throughout the night and a squeaky bed! The downstairs areas of the hotel were nice however. Although breakfast was not as advertised on the menu and was cold. We would have sent it back had we not had to rush off for a booked activity. Expected better from this grand looking hotel with glorious views for a birthday stay. There are far nicer, luxurious hotels/rooms nearby by at far better prices.

We had a lovely stay at your hotel. However, on entering our room we noticed a large stain on the carpet by the patio doors, the colour suggests it was lipstick or nail varnish. We headed into town, which was only a short walk away. The room was large, as was the bed which was really comfortable. In the morning, we noticed a leak in the bathroom, coming from the back of the toilet- as we were only staying one night we only mentioned this on checkout. We headed down for breakfast, just before 10am. There was no one at the enhance to the dining room so we had to wait, however we were seated at a table overlooking the lake so we didn't mind. We were told about the continental breakfast and told someone would be back to take our hot order. Heading over to the continental selection, there was no glasses for juice, no cups for coffee, no plates and no butter. After finally receiving everything we needed we enjoyed the selection on offer. We were again disappointed to have to ask for someone to take our hot order. This is not what we would have expected from an establishment such as yours.

This property is a beautiful building but very tired and needs decorating and new carpets. It was short staffed, although the staff was really good but overworked due to the shortage.
