Excellent breakfast and location. Highlight was our room (36) which has an amazing view of the lake and just luxurious.
Close to bars, restaurants and lake. Hotel is beautiful staff are lovely and helpful. Room was clean and we had a great view of the lake. We had a great stay.
We loved the property location and view, excellent service Charles at the reception was incredibly helpful and guided us though the best places in town and into our next tour in the lake region
Many thanks Charles you have a 5 * and our personal appreciation for your time
Lovely hotel overlooking the Marina. Very close to the town with a variety of different and excellent restaurants. The staff were very friendly and efficient.
Beautiful hotel with lots of character. Stunning lake view from the room. Really good breakfast. Just a few little details missing, i.e. removing glasses from tables, especially outside and a bit more attention the cleaning up the garden area further down.

No pool as I believe it's under construction hence the reason for the 3 stars in the review but other than that I can't fault the place. Lots of pubs and restaurants on the doorstep

Continental breakfast was a bit lacking. Am sure we had a selection of meats and cheese the last time we came.
Coffee machine is terrible at breakfast , the one in the bar is great! , luke warm not nice at all.
Staff are great, nice people.
Amazing hotel so beautiful right on the lake perfect. We got upgraded from a cosy double to a regular double which was lovely. Staff were very nice, breakfast was great, house keeping were great, they wrote a card to the birthday guest which was so lovely. Perfect location to walk into town and to the lake harbour. Had an amazing trip loved it! Thank you.

The room was immaculate and the views of lake Windermere was amazing from the room window
Very enjoyable stay at The Belsfield between Christmas and NY, the staff couldn’t of been more helpful, the Hotel has bags of character and what a location, amazing, I would highly recommend a visit to this Icon of a hotel.
Really lovely stay at The Belsfield. Clean, smart, spacious and beautiful. It has been renovated recently and the decor has a classy and stylish manor feel, lovely lounges, view of the lake for breakfast, comfortable room, friendly staff, delicious breakfast made to order plus great muffins! Very relaxing a perfectly situated for getting boats. We will be back!
Only downside was a sneaky £15 parking a day if you book through a third party. No real reason given for this. Hotel was value for money though.
Excellent stay, bed was comfortable and the room was spotless. The bathroom and communal areas could do with a bit of an update but it certainly didn’t spoil our stay. The best thing about the hotel has got to be the location and the view over the lake 👌
