Cant fault the staff. Amazing to find such a polite,helpful, happy team. They are a credit to you. I hope you treat them, as well as they treat your guests. The room was just right. It was very clean and faultless.
Gorgeous, grand hotel in a fantastic location.
Service great from all staff and hotel clean throughout.
Family rooms a great size and ideal for a family of 4.
Hotel is currently undergoing a period of renovation and you can see this is needed in places but this is to be expected for a grand and historic hotel.
Couldn't fault our stay. Staff were all friendly, helpful and efficient. Room was very clean. Breakfast, included, had a large selection of hot and cold items and being self service was quick.
Evening meal was excellent and about the same price as trekking into Bowness on a cold wet evening.
Upon arrival we were given a room upgrade, the room was of the highest specification. The staff came across very polite and most helpful. Breakfast was high quality. It was the second time we have stayed at The Belsfield Hotel and will be definitely booking again .

Room was lovely and warm and comfortable. The staff were excellent
The interior design of this hotel was impeccable, with beautiful fluffy chairs and bar stools! The staff were friendly too. The breakfast was high quality, fresh and plentiful. The bed and bedding was very comfortable, but a Cosy Garden Room was indeed quite cosy. However, the scaffolding in place and unkempt work site spoilt the beautiful view from the dining room. Expedia said there’s an on site gym, but it’s been flooded and out of use for some time. Personally I reluctantly report that I found this to be overpriced for what was on offer.
I had a fabulous stay. The staff were great, the location is wonderful. My room was cosy. There’s some scaffolding up over some of the restaurant windows at the moment but it didn’t impinge on my stay.
Although the hotel was currently being renovated outside it did not effect our stay . We both enjoyed all aspects of our stay ie. Cleanliness, Of Room, selection of breakfast items , excellent service from staff. Fully enjoyed our stay .
Have stayed here previously and really enjoyed our stay. Again, enjoyed our stay and love how handy it is to walk into Bowness. Staff are brilliant especially Moses on the bar who just makes you want to smile. Only negatives are that currently there is some building work taking place and our ensuite was tight to say the least. This did not spoil our stay but loses a star in my rating.
The customer service was exceptional from every staff membet we talked to. Very friendly and informative.we were missing bathroom toiletries like soap and shower gel which I thought was strange but we just went out and bought some thinking it wasn't included, however they were in the bathroom the next day after daily clean so I guess they must have just been forgotten .Lovely relaxing stay.
