stayed at the Belstead on a two night package for our anniversay on a BB+D basis. We had a double room in one of the bungalows away from the main house. Very clean and comfortable, only issue was the pillows, too soft. Dinner was excellent and service very good. They even sent us a card. Excellant value, would stay there... more

We stayed here whilst attending a wedding (at another venue). The room was clean and comfortable, and they had a few extras you don't usually get in the big chains - bottled water, biscuits, chocolates and hot chocolate along with the normal tea & coffee.

We enjoyed an lovely one night stay. The Pool, jacuzzi and steam room were excellent. The food in the restaurant was good with a nice selection. The one down point rather bizarrely was the lack of staff in the bar. After a nice swim and sauna we decided a cold beer would go down nicely. We made our way to... more

The receptionist was very pleasant and helpful and the room was clean with comfortable beds, although the bathroom could do with updating and the shower was a bit lack-lustre and tricky to turn off. Our only... more
