Excellent location that is central to most attractions. Building was under renovation but it didn’t cause us any inconvenience. Free upgrade was very welcome and staff are friendly and efficient. The only downside to our stay in this wonderful hotel was the breakfast given most of the cooked food was Luke warm to cold.

Whilst the views are stunning the property itself is in need of a separate makeover! Our room was clean but the blinds were heavily stained, furniture and headboard heavily used. We expected more for the price.Everything is very dated even the dining room for breakfast is very drab. But the staff were friendly and very helpful!

Magnificent property in a fantastic location. Our room was very nice and bed really comfortable. Two things really disappointed us, firstly we came down for breakfast at 9.35, the hot buffet on offer had very little food left in the holding dishes, we waited like others for food to arrive, a dish of sausages came out,but nothing else, incredibly disappointing for a hotel of such quality. Then when checking out,I was informed I had £15 to pay for parking in the hotels car park over night, the signage around the car park states, Parking only for hotel residents,which we were,when I questioned the payment I was informed it was because I had booked through Expedia,and not direct with the hotel,disgraceful. Nobody told me there was a charge when I booked my car into the hotels computer, if I’d known there was a £15 payment, I would have just parked on the road adjacent to the hotel.

Fantastic little MiniMoon

We booked here using our Tesco vouchers, as a little ‘minimoon’! We booked a standard room but messaged the hotel to explain we’d be married two days before coming and if they could do anything that’d be great. We got an upgrade to a lake view suit which was fantastic. The best part of this hotel is the staff. They were amazing! So attentive, friendly and helpful. The location is superb as a base or for exploring Windermere! The restaurant is pricey but food was delicious. They only have an all day menu available at the moment which was a little up market for someone looking for a snack. Breakfast is buffet style and all delicious. You could choose from an array of food, full fry up to continental. There are no leisure facilities ie a pool which I think would really make the hotel. We had a free drink voucher each night as we didn’t have housekeeping which was a lovely touch. Overall, would highly recommend and return!

It was good, but not great

The hotel called on the morning of our stay and offered us a complimentary upgrade to a lake view, very nice! On arrival and very nice check in experience. When we returned later in the day to our room, noticed no shampoo or shower gel, which we would have expected for £175 per night. Breakfast was ok, the usual Buffett, but the area where to food was located was very cramped, too much in one area. Overall the service was average after the check-in.

Best Accommodation in Bowness by far

We’ve just returned from celebrating my birthday weekend and we've had the best time ever. We truly did feel like a King and Queen for the weekend! All the staff were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond and the hotel itself is absolutely beautiful with the best views of Lake Windermere 😍 Thank you for an amazing stay Love from The Parr’s xx Just want to add we’ve been coming to Bowness for around 15 years to celebrate my birthday weekend but this was the first time staying at Belsfield as it’s also our 20th year of being Married (August). We have always admired it from afar and have stayed in surrounding accommodations but this weekend has blown all the accommodations out of the water. We have had the best weekend ever. Thank you Belsfield :)
