We have just returned from a 4 day stay at the Belsfield, and really enjoyed our time there. I'd read a few negative reviews about it, and nearly cancelled the booking as a result! I'm so glad that I didn't as I really feel that I couldn't have booked a better hotel. It's excellent value for money - the room... more

W e recently stayed at the belsfield for one night and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Ok parts of it may need abit of updating but on a hot sunny day there is no better view of the lake sipping a cold glass of wine on the verandah outside. It is so close to the lake side you can virtually step... more

This hotel has a prominent and beautiful setting in Bowness. It however fails dismally in presentation inside and out. The exterior is well overdue a paint 'job' and the interior is tired and sadly lacks the style and class which would have been evident in it's heyday. Serious money is needed to be spent on this hotel. My view is... more

Stayed in room 12 - clear it had been newly refurbished with modern feel such as spot lights and plasma TV on the wall. Very clean. Food excellent and staff accomodating. Great view from restaurant of lake. Very good location for shops and sightseeing. Beautiful hotel grounds nicely maintained. Would definately stay again if in area. Lucy Green, West Midlands more

This hotel is slightly shabby - it could do with a good lick of paint. However the views over the lake are amazing - make sure you ask for a lake view room - it's worth the upgrade price (our original room overlooked the air conditioning units!). Have a drink in the bar and watch the boats on the lake... more

The bedroom ( 43 ) was clean The bathroom a little on the small side, but adequate The Bed & pillows were comfortable Staff were helpful & friendly ( slight problem with the bill which was quickly sorted ) more

We arrived at about 5pm and check in was ok.We went upto the room to find a very tired an old fashioned room - threadbare carpets,paper peeled off the walls, the en-suite bathroom lead a lot to be desired very small, consisted of a shower tray with a very dirty curtain, and a toilet ver crammed!!! Sink wasin the bedroom!... more

On arriving at Bowness I could see the hotel on the hill side and was thoroughly impressed. As soon as a stepped out of the car and looked at the external building my first comment to my wife were "this could do with a lick of paint". Unfortunately this continued into the hotel and although I initially got a "deal"... more

My wife and I have just returned from 3 days at the Belsfield with an organised group. We had one of the recently refurbished rooms in a rear wing and this was execellent. Great reading lights (very important), flat screen TV bright new bathroom and comfortable beds. The food was really much, much better than expected for a group of... more
