Myself and my husband chose this hotel for our anniversary and it didn’t disappoint! The hotel staff upgraded our room when we arrived and wow what a treat it was! The room was beautiful and so were the views from our room. It was clean and tidy and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The hotel is a short walk in to the little town where there are plenty of restaurants, pubs and bars. The hotel over looks the boat docks so you can easily get boat tours around the lake. There is parking on site which does have a charge of £15 per day. The breakfast buffet was perfect. It was fairly small but had everything you could want. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and want to thank the staff for making our anniversary extra special!

Firstly we were upgraded before we arrived, the room was newly refurbished and a great view of the garden and the lake. The staff are second to none here. I’ve never been to a hotel before where even 15 minutes before breakfast is due to finish staff are still bring out fresh hot food at the buffet, and to eat breakfast over the lake is amazing. Big shout out alga’s to go to Moses at the hotel bar, a true gent, excellent service and an amazing cocktail maker. The location of the hotel is amazing. We shall be returning next year without a shadow of a doubt! Well done to all who work at the Belsfield.

Great staff, great location. The hotel and the room was lovely. The only negative is some areas inside are a little tired and I do not think you should have to pay for parking in your staying at the hotel considering the car park is on it’s own grounds.

Liked: Staff & service
The hotel is a great location, I feel like it does rely on that for the price point. There’s lots of areas that need a fresh lick of paint and a deep clean. Also, there’s only the breakfast room that overlooks the lake so that’s your only chance to enjoy the views if you are in a standard room. The room was beautiful however again, mould patch above window and areas that needed a good clean eg the bath needed some unblocker and the radiator had open pipes due to missing part which revealed a lot of dust. Also, only has shutters so for people who like darkness like me, you aren’t getting that- I would expect curtains over the blinds and a turn down service for the amount it costs. Also, would have been nice to have cases taken to room or atleast directed to the easier route to avoid wandering round trying to find the room with cases. The gardens are lovely and a big perk is being able to get to the pier through the gardens, would have been lovely to know information like this on arrival.

Foolishly selected a cosy double which had a bathroom the size of a broom cupboard. School boy error. Welcoming staff. Couldn’t get served at bar, poor barman was over run. Breakfast a mediocre buffet affair, coffee machine not working. Beautiful property in throes of upgrade.

The room was very clean and comfortable. All the staff were lovely and professional. There was a good selection at breakfast, with continental and cooked. Our only disappointment was that we weren’t in the main restaurant for dinner but a side dining room which lacked atmosphere and personality. Apart from this our stay was very enjoyable.

Had a great stay. Staff welcomed us on arrival and assisted us with bags from the car even in the rain without any request. All staff were really helpful and lent us umbrellas due to wet weather. Room was lovely and spacious and was clean. Bed was comfortable and we slept well. Breakfast was plentiful with good choice and very tasty. The hotel is doing some renovations but it had no effect on our stay. Would definitely look to stay again
