The stay was good and the staff were very helpful with only one minor issue. Due to condensation within the bedroom window we opened it, but builders were painting the roof directly outside with a roof sealant and there were very strong fumes in the room when we returned later

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were given a little tour of the property when we checked in. The grounds were absolutely beautiful with a lovely view of the lake. We enjoyed our meals in the dining room and had a drink in the bar. The room was comfortable and clean. It was as an easy walk to the ferry boat dock and to several restaurants and shops.

I booked a stay for my mums 80th birthday! The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, offering advise on places to see and dine. The grounds are immaculate and location overlooking the lake superb and very convenient for river traffic and riverside walks. The places to visit are in abundance around the area and staying in a central location at the Belsfield made this possible. I look forward to returning on completion of the due renovations, including swimming pool and gym. Thanks for making our stay a memorable one, and see you again soon. Regards Dr T Watson

Standard of breakfast and choice diminished over last 12 months. Paying additional £15 per day to park when the room is already costing about £200 per day is not acceptable.

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.
