Hotels near The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction in Windermere

Our views on our visit to The Belsfield Hotel are rather mixed. It is an imposing and impressive building in a fantastic location overlooking the lake. Check in was good with all required information provided. Unfortunately upon entering our room ( room 30 ) we were disappointed as it was not as I expected. I had booked a suite as we have done several times at other hotels . Previously we have found a suite has consisted of a separate room for relaxing with the bedroom attached. On this occasion it was a larger bedroom with a sitting area and small table for two. The hotel’s website does state that a suite may , or may not , have a separate lounge area and so on this occasion I accepted we had drawn the short straw . No issues there . However the website also states the suites offer stunning views and a roll top bath . There was no roll top bath as promised, only an older standard plastic panelled bath. As we are planning on restyling our bathroom assessing a roll top bath in practice was one of the features that swayed our decision to stay here . With regard to the stunning views . When sitting at the table in our room having a coffee before breakfast our view was what appeared to be an old , derelict greenhouse / storage building . Not exactly an appealing view to begin your day . When I mentioned this at check out I was told by the member of staff that another company deals with the website description and so nothing to do with him . A rather strange and dismissive response and not the lasting impression you want when leaving the hotel . Overall the hotel is a very enjoyable place to visit with several areas to relax on the ground floor . Sitting on the terrace overlooking the lake was fantastic and would thoroughly recommend it . A special mention for Lucien who did a fantastic job of providing cocktails and was very knowledgeable and proficient in this . A credit to the hotel . The hotel has so many good points that may , for some , outweigh the negatives around the room but unsure if we would return or recommend.

Beautiful hotel and just a few minutes walk to shops,bars and restaurants. The room named the mews that we stayed in was outstanding. Lovely comfortable bed with very nice bedding and super comfy pillows. The room was huge and had a lovely outside area to sit and relax. Breakfast was very nice as was the setting of the dining room. Staff super friendly especially Emily on reception nothing to much trouble and she made you feel very welcome. Every hotel needs an Emily!! Can’t wait to return .

I especially recommend this hotel, a old English villa, which is newly renovated and British style. It is very clean and full of toiletries. It is 3 minutes away from the town by car. The room can see part of the lake view and the surrounding environment. Very good, I especially like their afternoon tea, the tea set is very exquisite, and I look at it with great care! Part of the breakfast is buffet, and the main meal is à la carte, with a large portion and enough to eat! If you have children staying with you, you must tell the hotel in advance that the children need to charge a fee of £28.50/piece/night! This fee includes breakfast and extra bed. If it is not stated in advance, the fee will still be charged, but there will be no extra bed! Expresso capsule coffee is provided free of charge in the room, which is my favorite. Those who like coffee are very surprised!

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel special and welcomed. We had drinks in the lounge area and veranda enjoying the spectacular views. The staff were all dressed smartly, and I got the impression they all loved working there. I had booked for my wife’s birthday and had also booked a table in the Henrock restaurant inside the hotel. The food was amazing, delicious and perfectly presented and served. Each delicious course was the lead up to the most amazing dessert I have ever eaten, and it was a rhubarb based dessert, which under normal circumstances is a contradiction where desserts are concerned normally, however this was an explosion of delicious tastes and textures. Would highly recommend this hotel and restaurant and we both hope to return, sooner rather than later.

Fantastic hotel with beautiful surroundings. We loved sitting in the gardens near the pond with all the friendly ducks. We visited their miniature village which was really good and the young lad had lots of knowledge. Staff are really friendly, breakfast was lovely and rooms were really nice and comfortable with a good outlook onto fields. We will definitely be back soon. Also only 10 mins drive from Bowness 😁

There is a pool, but there is no pool. The front desk service is not good, I feel that I am too lazy to take care of you, and seeing the child will force the extra bed to charge 35 fat one night, a bit arrogant. The room attendant was very nice and the waiter in the restaurant was very good.

Myself and my 2 sons had a great stay in one of the bell tents. The site and the views are beautiful, shower and toilet blocks kept very clean by the staff and the shower shacks were great! Self catering kitchen clean and well equipped both in the camping block and inside the hostel. Bell tent was very comfortable and cosy even in the rain! There is no where on the campsite to dry your hair with a hairdryer so I had to go upstairs inside the hostel to use a mirror and plug on the landing which wasn't too much of a problem, but worth knowing. Every member of staff were extremely helpful and so friendly and the breakfasts were lovely. The overall vibe of the hostel and campsite is very friendly and welcoming. We had a wasps nest under our bell tent and the manager came out and had us moved to another tent within half an hour, a specialist was called in to remove them, he couldn't have dealt with it better. It's a 10/10 We will definitely be back, we had a fantastic time!

A beautiful rural hotel opposite the Lake District. The breakfast was great and the croissants were super delicious. I also asked the front desk for a few more to eat on the road and the people were very nice. Especially recommended for people traveling by car.
