Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Belsfield Hotel enjoys a fantastic location near the lake-side and convenient to the village, offering spectacular lake views from its sweeping garden. Many guests appreciate the spacious and modern bedrooms, some featuring lake views and amenities like Nespresso machines. While some guests have found the breakfast insufficient and the water bottles are not available in the rooms but at the reception, the hotel's proximity to the Windermere station bus stop makes it easily accessible.

a charming stay with amazing views!!!

clean room comfortable beds well stocked bar
I had a great one night stay. the room was lovely and clean. Beds were comfortable. it also provided a great view over the lake. the staff were very friendly and the breakfast was a total delight. to top it off, the weather was amazing, so i sat in the gardens with a drink from the well-stocked bar.
i think the hotel should review the parking policy, since i was charged £15 a day for it.

I had a room with a lake view. It was a double room. The room included a modern bathroom and clean space. Breakfast offered a great full English, yogurt, and fresh fruit. The staff greeted us. They took our bags at reception, and the check-in process was smooth. I also got sorted for parking!
My only very slight annoyance was scaffolding.

The staff sorted parking for us. I would say staff are the main asset to this hotel along with the location next to the lake.
The room had no conditioner. I hadn't brought my own, because a four star hotel generally provides it. This was quite disappointing. I should have checked more carefully.
