This was our second time at this hotel, staying, in a family room. Hotel is in a great location and set in beautiful grounds. The family rooms are very spacious and very well appointed. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. They had a great choice for breakfast and cooked perfectly. Would recommend this hotel and look... More

On arrival at the hotel we were welcomed by the sprawling road to the reception and the beautiful expanse of colourful gardens. Our dogs Gucci and Poppy were made welcome, and my room request No 3, opened on to the gardens was perfect. I wanted to take the bed home it was so comfortable and the noises at night, nothing,...

Set in acres of gardens and woodland, the hotel is a lovely place for relaxing and base for visiting the South Lakes. The staff are excellent, helpful and professional. The room was good with patio seating in the garden. The only note of negativity is the carpets in the public area are showing signs of wear. Otherwise we would stay... More

We recently stayed at the Briery wood in a family room . We found the whole stay great value for money as a family we are always trying to penny pinch and this hotel was similar priced to B&B's in the area. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was beautiful and very clean the bed sheets smelt... More

Wonderful Staff and Management that went the extra mile. Excellent value for money and a great breakfast. We got a garden room with access for doggie to sit out in the most well presented of gardens, that are well worth a walk through and yet another feature of this fine hotel. Im looking forward to my next return

The hotel room was fine, the bathroom was huge, the shower was dodgy, the lounges were big, inviting and relaxing. But bottom line go for the food, the location and the views nearby. The dining room food was fantastic. Some of the best meals we have had in 6 weeks travelling (steer clear of the ordinary cheese platter - but... More
