We went to the Belsfield on the worst day of the winter on 4th february 2012. We read the weather forecasts about the snow, but went anyway. We checked in at 2pm and immediately got an upgrade to a Lake view on the first floor, this was extremely well received by us and the lady on reception made sure it was ok on the first floor because i had expressed in my booking that i wanted a low floor because of my asthma. I think the hotel wasn't very busy either. The room was nice but a bit chilly, but there was an extra electric radiator to use. We had a nice shower room with toilet. The hotel has been painted recently and has some nice sitting rooms to gaze over the lake at. (in our case the snowy lake) In the morning we had breakfast in the large dining room and this was very nice cooked breakfast as well. There weren't many people around but i think the weather had spoilt it for people. This is a lovely hotel in a fantastic location, i will be going back to experience it again , but maybes in the summer months.

My husband and I checked in on Friday 13th for a 2 night stay b,b &eve meal. Upon arrival the welcoming receptionist advised us we had a complimentary upgrade to a lake view room, the hotels gift for our 22nd wedding anniversary. The room was very spacious and beautiful. The views were outstanding. The food was exceptional on both days with plenty of choice. The reception staff, bar, restaurant and cleaning staff were extremely polite and nothing was too much trouble. Each morning we both made use of the pool and sauna before breakfast, the photo of the pool area on the website makes the pool look a lot smaller than it actually was. The pool, sauna and changing areas were spotlessly clean.
The hotel decor is a little tired in a couple of areas, but this really does add to the character. I tend to disagree with the comment about the bar prices, for a hotel we found the prices reasonable, you will always pay more in hotels than bars. We definately recommend this hotel and could not find fault with anything. We have stayed in lots of b&b's in the lakes and frequent it regularly, it is definately worth paying that little extra und upgrading to this hotel. We will definately re-visit.
Thank you to all at the Belsfield for a wonderful stay.

After 2 nights stay at the Hotel I am glad we came to it .The place was clean ,tidy and the staff friendly indeed .The breakfast is excellent as well are the staff.The place is warm and has chartacter and yes it is a bit worn in places but thats an old building for you and the lift is exellent old style which adds even more character .2 things which I think need looking into the mattress was to soft and the water pressure for the shower poor but dont let that put you off .The pool was excellent and warm and enjoyable and the views wow esp after a frost, I hope to be coming again soon as I feel this hotel is great and friendly and very welcoming indeed .Thank you

The hotels location must give you one of the best views of Windermere, its lovely relaxed atmosphere, makes you feel like you have stepped back in time. We enjoyed our stay so much we our returning next month.
