We took advantage of the 3 night midweek offer - £50 per person dinner, bed and breakfast. We were fortunate to be given a room with a balcony overlooking the fantstic gardens. The room was clean, spacious and serviced daily. The evening menu was superb - favourites included deep fried soft cheese and fish and chip starters; delicious soups or... more

Even though we booked on the very last minute we were lucky enough to be given a room which had a door leading out to the beautiful gardens which was perfect for us as we had our dog with us.

As far as Lakeland hotels go, our expereince was definitely above average, plus we had a pleasant surpise when we received the bill at checkout. It's... more

Stayed at the Briery Wood after attending a wedding at a sister hotel. It is not cheap and is in desperate need of redecoration and new bathrooms.

The food was excellent, service could not be faulted, bedrooms comfortable, clean & spacious & the hotel was most welcoming. I did not have one complaint from any of our staff & i can tell you that this has never happened... more
