Excellent

The hotel is tired and in a state of disrepair. There is no atmosphere and you only see a handful of people during breakfast. Breakfast was the best part of our stay. It’s a shame because from the outside, the Hotel looks impressive and is in the best location with spectacular views of the lake. However, we will not return.

Staff were excellent and could not do enough for you. The food was fantastic and we ate in the restaurant. The hotel looks a bit tired and shame the pool was not available but it had a warm friendly feel to it.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were given a little tour of the property when we checked in. The grounds were absolutely beautiful with a lovely view of the lake. We enjoyed our meals in the dining room and had a drink in the bar. The room was comfortable and clean. It was as an easy walk to the ferry boat dock and to several restaurants and shops.
I booked a stay for my mums 80th birthday!
The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, offering advise on places to see and dine.
The grounds are immaculate and location overlooking the lake superb and very convenient for river traffic and riverside walks.
The places to visit are in abundance around the area and staying in a central location at the Belsfield made this possible.
I look forward to returning on completion of the due renovations, including swimming pool and gym.
Thanks for making our stay a memorable one, and see you again soon.

Standard of breakfast and choice diminished over last 12 months.
Paying additional £15 per day to park when the room is already costing about £200 per day is not acceptable.
Lovely setting and convenient location. Staff was great and very helpful!

This property is a beautiful building but very tired and needs decorating and new carpets. It was short staffed, although the staff was really good but overworked due to the shortage.
Visit didn’t start well. Problem with dinner said we could just go into the restaurant not needing to book.
After spending time on the terrace when we went for a table we were turned away (party of 6, one using a walking aid). Saying not enough staff. Only after complaining were we accommodated in the Brassiere and did then have a very nice attentive waitress.
A few other niggles they ran out of Prosecco and when we asked for decaffeinates coffee at the first breakfast we were told they didn’t have any, but then told,after we complained, that they had found some.
Place sees to be struggling from tired decor and lack of staff.
Beautiful terrace and view over the lake

The family room is spacious but old. The location is great. We told the reception that we had to leave early at 6 AM. The lady reception told us that she could arrange 5 boxes for breakfast set (fruits & some pastries). She said she put the note in and handover to another team. On the departure date, no one knows about this breakfast box. It is a bit disappointed.
Lack of staff meant service was poor. Took 30 minutes for a cup of tea to be served when we arrived. Similar deal with breakfast where it took over 40 minutes to deliver hot breakfast and the items on the plate did not match the menu. This was all whilst the restaurant was not busy.
As for the room, there was an AC unit which didn’t work and when we asked reception about it, we were told this was not included in our room. Strange for a £200+ a night room but the least of the problems really.
In the room, there were stains on the skirting boards from where previous tenants had missed the bins with their tea bags and they had not been cleaned.
When we requested our room be serviced, we returned to an untouched room at 3.30pm. When we raised this issue, we returned after dinner to an unmade bed and still dirty cups in the room. Only services completed were change of towel and empty bin.
Overall, very poor for the price.
