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.

Visit didn’t start well. Problem with dinner said we could just go into the restaurant not needing to book. After spending time on the terrace when we went for a table we were turned away (party of 6, one using a walking aid). Saying not enough staff. Only after complaining were we accommodated in the Brassiere and did then have a very nice attentive waitress. A few other niggles they ran out of Prosecco and when we asked for decaffeinates coffee at the first breakfast we were told they didn’t have any, but then told,after we complained, that they had found some. Place sees to be struggling from tired decor and lack of staff. Beautiful terrace and view over the lake

The family room is spacious but old. The location is great. We told the reception that we had to leave early at 6 AM. The lady reception told us that she could arrange 5 boxes for breakfast set (fruits & some pastries). She said she put the note in and handover to another team. On the departure date, no one knows about this breakfast box. It is a bit disappointed.

Poor Service due to lack of staff
Lack of staff meant service was poor. Took 30 minutes for a cup of tea to be served when we arrived. Similar deal with breakfast where it took over 40 minutes to deliver hot breakfast and the items on the plate did not match the menu. This was all whilst the restaurant was not busy. As for the room, there was an AC unit which didn’t work and when we asked reception about it, we were told this was not included in our room. Strange for a £200+ a night room but the least of the problems really. In the room, there were stains on the skirting boards from where previous tenants had missed the bins with their tea bags and they had not been cleaned. When we requested our room be serviced, we returned to an untouched room at 3.30pm. When we raised this issue, we returned after dinner to an unmade bed and still dirty cups in the room. Only services completed were change of towel and empty bin. Overall, very poor for the price.

The hotel is very tired and need a lot of money spending to bring it up to date. The food was pub grub as opposed to fine dining which was always available at the hotel. Very poor .

We booked this hotel for our 25th Anniversary, as I had proposed to my now wife in this hotel 27 years ago. And I wish I hadn’t booked it again. To say this it was better then, than it is now, grounds immaculate, the building looks tired and dull. The interior has been refreshed but to a poor standard. Check in was ok. Got to the room and the bathroom very small, when sitting on the toilet, and dirty tiles with black mould on the grouting. Very small samples of gel and shampoo. Not replaced during our 3 night stay, One plus, the room did have a good view of the grounds and lake. Breakfast, expected better, the cooked options were served by waiters and continental, help yourself. Food was dry and poor. Once we finally got it. We were shown to our table and the forgotten about and had to call waiters after 10 mins, just to get tea or coffee. On our 3 mornings greeted by different staff on each day. Only 2 staff on waiting and greeting, so many were just walking in a taking reserved tables, and then being shouted at to move, Grossly understaffed! On arrival back from days out, the bar is deserted no staff about to get a drink. Considering it close to £300 per room per night for this, don’t bother!

We chose the Belsfield for our honeymoon and it did not disappoint. We stayed in room 66 overlooking the lake and it was perfect. Huge four poster bed, chandelier, sofa and dining table looking out of the window, amazing bathroom with a huge freestanding bath, enormous shower, and separate toilet. If you prefer a contemporary hotel, this is not the hotel for you. It is old fashioned and classic, but that just adds to the glamour. Some parts of the hotel are a little worn, but that is to be expected at a property this old. The location is simply perfect. You wake up to the lake, and can be on the shore or in Bowness in three minutes. It is also a really pleasant stroll. The staff are lovely. My hairdryer died at 1am, and within 5 minutes of me calling the front desk, another had arrived. The only minor downside to the hotel is that their room service menu after 9pm isn’t great. But I can’t grumble about that! Overall we literally had the perfect honeymoon and can’t wait to go back again. The hotel, location, and people were all lovely- thank you very much to the Belsfield for making our honeymoon so special.

The Belsfield Hotel, from outside, building looks nice but inside was not up to the standard it should be. We went straight to walking after checked in. On return, we went to shower, as we started open tap, it began to flood. I reported to hotel but they couldn’t fix it immediately. In half shower, we were moved in to other room. In the room, bed sheets and duvet covers were not replaced, there were still poo in the toilet on arrival. There were still food and coffee stains on the table and chairs. Entertainment tv quality was very poor. Service was not good at all, food were ok but highly priced We did not enjoy our stay in such a pricy and premium hotel which we arrived with a high expectation. I wouldn’t recommend to my family and friends in terms of accommodation and services provided to us. Therefore, I rate only one star.
