The Belsfield Hotel

About this place

Commanding a prime position above Bowness Bay, The Belsfield is a grand Victorian hotel with landscaped gardens, elegant lounges and wide-angle views across Lake Windermere to the central fells. Classic architecture meets contemporary comfort: bedrooms and suites are calmly styled, many with lake-view windows or balconies, while the lounges and terrace are made for afternoon tea, sundowners and unhurried lake-watching. Two dining spaces cover relaxed brasserie dishes and smarter evening menus, with a cocktail bar for pre- and post-dinner drinks.

Step outside and you’re moments from Bowness Pier for Windermere cruises, the village’s cafés and boutiques, and easy links to hill paths and viewpoints. Inside, polished service, period details and a choice of room types (including family options) make this an easy base for romantic breaks, special occasions and Lake District exploring.
