From the moment we pulled into the car park we had a great welcome and nothing was too much trouble for the staff who were brilliant for the whole stay. We had a 4 poster room which have amazing views of the lake. Breakfast was very good with great choices and perfectly cooked hot selection. Service was 5 star.

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 stay was good and the staff were very helpful with only one minor issue. Due to condensation within the bedroom window we opened it, but builders were painting the roof directly outside with a roof sealant and there were very strong fumes in the room when we returned later

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. Regards Dr T Watson

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.
