Wonderful hotel. Excellent friendly helpful staff, service and food. Will definitely return and would also like to try sister hotels. One minor disappointment was pillows not the most comfortable. Wonderful stay
Vivian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was excellent with a door out to the garden for our dog. The meals were top notch but the thing that was so outstanding was the friendliness and welcome from not just one or two but all of the staff, it made our stay. Will definitely return.

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms were spotless and spacious with a large comfortable bed. Breakfast and dinner were both delicious with a variety of options. The staff were very friendly and attentive and went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay. We took our dog too and booked a garden view room which had its own door. This enabled us to take our dog straight outside when we needed to. The hotel is extremely dog friendly. We will definitely stay here again.

6/10 Good

Nice hotel, unsure about 4 stars though.

Nice hotel, lovely grounds. Staff were super friendly and helpful and quickly solved an issue that we had. Restaurant and bar areas really nice and clean. Uncomfortable bed and pillows. Linen not great. Walls are thin, can hear everyone and everything outside. Emergency lighting outside ‘garden rooms’ stays on all night making it look like it’s daylight all night long. Bar prices and food a little too expensive.

Staff make this hotel

we Love staying here, the hotel is quiet and lovely, some lovely traditional features and although its not central exactly regards to walking it is a great place to stay. The hotel is nice and the food is good, breakfast is great but what makes this hotel is the staff, they are the most pleasant, warm and welcoming staff from the lovely lad at the bar, Danny serving food and the reception staff are great too. this is why we go back - so many places to choose from in the lakes but the staff are just great and should be mentioned! Great Job - See you in Novemeber!

More of a care home for elderly than a hotel

It was a nice stay. The receptionist was pleasant and morning breakfast staff were lovely. The room was clean, fresh and had everything we needed. The evening bar chap was u communicative, surly and borderline rude. It was clear that at 10.30 he just wanted us to go to bed and not dare to order a drink. It’s a shame the whole place is quiet and sleeping by early evening. It felt more like a care home for elderly than a hotel.

8/10 Very good

We had a very pleasant stay here. It’s a lovely building and comfortable place to relax and unwind and the afternoon tea we had was exceptional. We had an issue with lights in the bedroom constantly flickering that we reported to reception but it was only temporarily fixed as it reoccurred again later in our stay. Drinks from the bar were pricey. And make sure you ring the bell at the bar if you need service because waiting staff are constantly absent doing other things; maybe they were just shorthanded when we were there but that’s how it seemed. Cleaning staff were great.

The best nights sleep!

We had an amazing stay at Briery wood. Though we only stayed one night, it was one of the most relaxing nights we have had in a while and we both slept SO well! The bed was extremely comfy and the room had lots of little details that made our stay feel a little extra special- including a powerful fan perfect for the warmer weather, two pillows each as standard, lots of tea and coffee options & complimentary biscuits! The bar area was very pretty and breakfast was a worthwhile addition (pastries and fruit in addition to a cooked breakfast off of a small menu). The bathroom was a little dated but clean and pretty and the shower was powerful. Though smaller than the Cragwood sister hotel, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again in future.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

This is a quaint hotel that is nicely decorated. Unfortunately, despite asking for quiet rooms, we were given rooms in the main hallway where everyone has to pass by to get in and out of the hotel and get to and from breakfast. The hotel staff also use the foyer right across from these rooms to collect all of the used items from rooms they are cleaning so it was extremely noisy, especially in the morning. The staff are completely oblivious to this. Breakfast wasn't memorable and when they're fully booked, it's almost impossible to move around the dining room.
Fiona, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This is a lovely, quiet hotel on Lake Windermere. Highlights were the freshly cooked breakfast, quiet grounds, and friendly staff throughout our 3 night stay. We also very much enjoyed eating dinner in the hotel one evening, where the food was of high quality. Some areas perhaps would have benefitted from more attention based on the price we paid and the high standard of the other reviews on Expedia. These were: The road junction into the property is challenging at best and dangerous at worst (we witnessed a near miss on one occasion). Would suggest at the very least a mirror is installed so you can see traffic coming from the right There is no fridge in the room which, if you’re going for walks, is a little annoying if you want to be able to take a chilled drink out with you. There are no additional facilities such as a gym or spa. We knew that when we booked it of course, but it’s still worth mentioning given the price.
