An off season visit, we were one of the only guests. Well priced, quiet and a generous sized room. TV WiFi etc with well appointed bathroom. We opted for the dinner/bed/breakfast offer. Food was fabulous! Staff warm & helpful. Could use a bit of an upgrade on decor, but would recommend to friends More

For the last 21 years four of us have visited a different country house hotel for the New Year period. This year we choose Briery Wood for our break. None of us had even heard of this hotel but their online offer looked what we wanted and after a short telecon we booked up in October. We arrived in time... More

Briery Wood is a nice place to stay, with clean, comfortable rooms and ample free parking. Breakfast was very good (even if it was only open until 9.30am), with freshly cooked full English alongside many other choices. The surrounding gardens are pleasant and peaceful, and the staff friendly and helpful. The rate of £70 per person per night makes a... More

My wife and I have just visited the hotel for a 3 day break for the fourth time this year, may I say more. This hotel is situated midway between Windermere and Ambleside and is set in wonderful grounds. First of all the staff are wonderful, nothing is a problem and is also carried out with a smile. The rooms... More

Just returned from a two night family break to this hotel over the half term holiday. The hotel was incredibly clean, the room we stayed in contained what can only be described as the mother of all kingsize beds and had the added bonus of having french doors which opened out onto the beautiful grounds. The location of Briery wood... More

Following on from my review in May this year, I returned to stay in this cosy hotel in August. What I forgot to mention the last time is where else can you get a 1 night stay on a weekend. My first visit was a Saturday night over a bank holiday weekend and this visit was a Saturday night in... More
