There is no doubt that this hotel's surroundings is it's selling point and yes it has plenty of character but you would expect that from an old property in the Lake District wouldn't you. You would also expect that it's restaurant would be run efficiently by well trained staff led by a maitre de. Sadly not in our experience. We... More

Extremely disappointed to discover the changes made in the dining room for Sunday lunch. We were embarrassed in front of or friends from the south. As locals we have always boasted to visiting friends of the best carvery in the lakes only to find because of new management the changes made had resulted in the dining room being empty. The... More

What a wonderful day we had at the Belsfield Hotel, when my son was married there. They arranged everything from the wedding ceremony through to the evening meal. even the photographers. The banqueting rooms were tastefully decorated to the choice of the bride & bridegroom. The organisation was spot on & more importantly the food was excellent. Everything went without... More

Had a two-night break at the Belsfield as a mini break after our wedding. We upgraded our room to one with a lake view and it was FANTASTIC! We had a 3-course meal included on one evening, which was lovely and I would highly recommend dining there. The breakfast was equally as good. The hotel is in a great location... More

Stayed last week in the Belsfield with the partner after driving to Bowness for the day, deciding to stay the night. Booked from late rooms on my mobile in the pub, checked in around 1530 hrs. Were told we had been upgraded to a four poster room (I had requested lake view) and WOW, what an upgrade! At the risk... More

We had a two night break and the Belsfield and had a wonderful time. The room number 73, was a turret room facing the lake. The room was bright, airy and the view was stunning. There was an additional charge of £30 for this room, but the view was worth it. The food, breakfast and dinner was very good indeed.... More

We stayed for one night on the way to Scotland. We had a very nice room and the hotel overlooks Lake Windermere as did the room. The hotel is in a lovely setting with lovely gardens as well as the view. The dinner was excellent with very good service as was the breakfast.

My wife and I attended a crime writers' convention at this lovely hotel. As other reviewers have noted, yes, the decor is somewhat dated but we found it comfortable and relaxing. And the old fashioned lift was a real hoot! Where the Belsfield really scores is the amazing friendliness of the staff - from reception to restaurant, bar and room... More

The location of this hotel is amazing and the views of the lake stunning. The hotel itself feels like it was grand at some point but now perhaps in need of some TLC and updating. Feels a little old fashioned. If you want a base then it's a great place to explore from. We didn't eat there so can't comment... More
