I have previously stayed at the belsfield but havent been for 2 years. just back after a glorious sunny weekend there.

Just back from The Belsfield and we had a lovely time, although the furniture in our bedroom was well worn it didn't detract from the gem this hotel is. We had a lake view from our room and the staff always tried to seat us at or near the window for our Breakfast & Evening meal.The breakfast was good with... More

I stayed at the Belsfield for 3 nights in April, with my wife and her sister and husband. The Hotel is in a prime location looking down over the jetty's on Windermere. We paid extra for lake view rooms, and the view when you woke up in the mornings was stunning and well worth the extra expence. The staff from... More

My wife and I stayed at the Belsfield for a four-night "Bridge" holiday. We knew it was a big traditional hotel and expected the sort that tend to attract coach parties, and hence be tired with everything cut down to keep within a low budget. Reading the recent review from "StChristopher" rather confirmed our doubts. . But we couldn't have... More

My son (age 14) and I spent a night here during the Easter holidays. The restaurant looks out over the lake and the view is beautiful. Old fashioned hotel but that adds to the charm, too modern would be out of keeping in this area. Staff friendly and helpful. Convenient for ferry to Ambleside. Will go again for longer next... More

This hotel has the most amazing location and views across Lake Windermere are fantastic. Half of the rooms, the restaurant, bar and reading room look out across the lake. It is well worth upgrading to a lake view room if you are going to stay here. The breakfast is lovely, with great choice of both hot and cold, with great... More
