"I have nothing to compare it with as this is my first experience of youth hostels in 40 years. I was impressed. I loved the open area, bar and restaurant. The dormitory was excellent. Beds were well spaced, ample plug sockets, mattress & pillows excellent. Clean sheets and super mattress. The bed was as good as any 5 star hotel. Honestly. The shower was clean but a little small. The facilities in the kitchen were good but some of the pans had loose handles. The staff clearly clean but somehow...

The Belsfield Hotel

The Belsfield Hotel

8/10 Good
"We have just returned from a two night stay in a garden room.The view from our room was super and the view from the hotel across Windermere was fantastic.The staff were very friendly.We enjoyed a tasty full English breakfast with local produce.There was plenty of choice if you wanted to eat cereals, etc. The reception, breakfast room and the bar are stylishly designed.The hotel is undergoing renovations, but this did not impact us at all as it was at the other end of the hotel. Our room was compact but had everything we needed . I would have appreciated a fridge in the hot weather. Parking is extra but we just left our car for the whole time there and walked or caught a steamboat at the nearby pier. The location of the hotel was so convenient with a 2 minure walk into Bowness, full of places to eat and lovely walks along the lake. We will defiitely stay here again.The hotel is authentic and full of history."
