Nice hotel, good stay
I had an overnight stay while I was in the area for business. The hotel is very nice. My room was a good size for one, and had everything I needed.
The furniture is a little dated and shabby compared to the public areas of the hotel, but nothing to complain about.
The pool is a good size. The gym is quite small and I imagine quite uncomfortable if too many people were using it at the same time.
I did not have breakfast, but dinner in the bar was very nice.
It was our 2nd time at the hotel . This time we brought two friends for a long weekend.
We paid extra for half board . The food is always 10/10 . Choices are excellent.
Breakfast is always excellent.
Swimming pool, jacuzzi was amazing , came out totally relaxed .
Staff are amazing, super helpful and always happy 10/10 .
We stayed In a garden room . Everything you need is there in the room . 10/10 ( I would ask for more milk for coffee though ran out ) .
We plan on going back in May for along weekend with our friends again . Well worth the stay .
Travelled with my 2 daughters for a spa break of 4 days. The spa and pool are beautiful- spacious and plenty of beds to relax on. We had half board. The breakfast was delicious especially the sausages. Dinner was also good - we all upgraded to Al a carte meals a couple of times. The duck dish was beautiful as were the mussels. I was disappointed with the halibut, the fish was very dry and overcooked- not as good as the normal fish and chips on the set menu. Reception staff were great and gave us toilet rolls as with 3 of us in a room we went through alot. We loved the hotels own filtered water in bottles. We had a wonderful time and would definitely visit again even though my daughter ended up locking herself in the bathroom for 20 minutes as the lock broke!!
Pleasant place to stay, in need of a good deep clean everywhere. I had to rinse out the bath before I could use it as it was dirty. The staff were not very polite and welcoming, made us feel a bit uncomfortable at times. Overall I had an okay time but is in great need of some TLC and better staff training.
Hotel is nicely situated and good parking facilities. We stayed in double club room, the bathrooms nicely updated, clean tidy but still a lot of the old and worn furniture etc. the bed is a genuine small double so cosy .. not much in the way of power sockets and usb for beside charging etc.
leisure facilities are fantastic in that you could set up camp on the many comfortable loungers and stay in the warm and holiday setting all day .. Tge hot tub is a good size but on first day it was well over 40deg c and almost impossible to stand or sit in .. after complaints the temperature was reduced to around 38 .. much more comfortable. We eat in the bar which is an informal atmosphere but can get a bit noisy at times .. all in all a nice stay.
Always a lovely stay at Belstead Brook; I’ve been coming for years.
The food in the restaurant is fantastic, especially their Sunday roast.
Beds are comfortable enough but it does depend on room type (I’ve stayed in all types) but I find the pillows quite hard.
A good hotel if you’re in the area with friendly and obliging staff.
