Askam and Ireleth Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Askam and Ireleth, Barrow-in-Furness

"Perfectly situated hotel, easily walkable into Bowness and all its attractions. The Belsfield has beautiful grounds and although maybe could do with a slight refresh it’s still a beautiful hotel with lots of charm and character. Breakfast was good and speedily served. The staff are polite and attentive and big shout out to the barman on Saturday evening who made me the best mai tai I’ve ever tasted. The only issue we had was parking related, we arrived at about 3.30pm on the Saturday and the car park was full. We managed to get a space later once the late lunch visitors left. Next time we visit the Lakes we would choose to stay here again. "

"Great value in a peaceful setting. Fantastic facilities and clean. Kitchens make traveling options better."

"Absolutely stunning views from the room. The staff were amazing and went above and beyond to accommodate a different room for my 1 year old son. I was given a room with a 4 poster bed and requested one without this. The manager showed me 3 different rooms one of which was a family room (even though I only booked a double room) just to cater to my request. She was patient and allowed me to choose a room I ended up going with the original room given to me as the views were beautiful and not once was she annoyed. She was patient and asked for housekeeping to attend and do up the sofa bed. Overall staff were lovely. This was a last minute stay and I would definitely return and recommend to friends and family "

"This is a lovely hotel. The staff are super friendly and helpful. The only problem was the room was very hot and we couldn’t open the window. Will definitely stay again"

"Good hotel. Nice walk behind hotel to centre of lancaster. Takes about 40 mins but like walking and weather was lovely so suited us fine. Complimentary water, juice, crisps and choc biscuits in fridge which was nice touch. Good breakfast. Overall enjoyable stay."

"Great location with just a short walk to the lake. All of the staff were friendly & helpful. The room was very clean & well presented with a lovely view from the balcony. The food was great too"

"Lovely hotel with lots of original features. Rooms were spotless, good decorative standard and the beds are so comfortable. Air conditioning and heating you can control yourself. DH Lawrence stayed there once. Good location, free parking, near to shops, but not too close. They do the best bourbon Ive ever tasted and lots of different drinks like English vodka. Only thing Id rate less than 5 stars was the night porter who I just found a bit difficult, not that helpful and a little odd, but that is only my opinion!"

"Really enjoyed this weekend away. We had a family room which had 2 singles and a double, it was a very large room with gorgeous high ceiling and window overlooking the road quiet location. The staff were all lovely and very welcoming. Enjoyed having access to the pool which the kids loved. Sauna, steam room and jacuzzi all hot which is sometimes missing in some venues. Breakfast was buffet and no complaints. I would say my only gripe was the kids menu in the restaurants, its £15 for 2 courses which for us is expensive when you have multiple children and out of touch to other restaurants. Our children shared a meal as we new they wouldnt of finished 1 each, it just felt a rip off to be honest when they had such reasonable offers on the adult menu. We had the 4 tapas deal which felt really good value so it was shame the kids meal deal was so much. We would still stay here again "

"Beautiful Hotel, staff couldn't have been friendlier, lovely room and the breakfast was perfect for setting us up for a gorgeous walk, restaurant was immaculate too, if I had to be ultra picky I would say I was a little disappointed the spa bath wasn't working but didn't even seem worth mentioning really, there are cheaper hotels in Ambleside, but as we all know, you get what you pay for in life, would absolutely recommend to anyone."
