Everywhere in the hotel was very clean and decorated very nicely. The food was lovely. The afternoon tea was outstanding. The bedroom was very comfortable and the staff were very friendly. The hotel was exceptionally dog friendly. The grounds were lovely. Overall, a nice hotel and we really enjoyed our stay.

The food was really good throughout our stay, but a little on the expensive side. We had a rubbish view of the car park from our room, but it was a lovely room regardless. The lounge and bar had absolutely no atmosphere at all and was so quiet, but I don't know what the hotel could do to improve this? Maybe have more ambient lighting and lamps of an evening with a couple of log fires, rather than just the same bright lighting?

Good location nice room staff were really trying hard

Dinner food was very average. Too many yappy dogs. Wine too expensive.

Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere. Nicely furnished & comfortable lounge area.Our bedroom was spacious, a comfortable bed, en-suite bathroom modern with shower over bathtub,lots of natural light from skylight window. Housekeeping very efficient & room cleaning complete whilst we had breakfast, no intrusion on privacy. Beautiful garden area with outdoor seating.

The dining room was very pleasant with a garden view. The breakfast was served in a friendly & timely manner and was a fair standard.However we ate in the restaurant on Friday & Saturday evenings we were a little disappointed on the Saturday very few people eating there and our meals weren’t the best. A bar menu option would have been nice.

the staff were all very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly

the public areas had little warmth or personality. having stayed in a number of country house hotels on The Lakes the lack of a real country house authentic feel really let this one down we felt.

We were attending a wedding nearby so just needed one night's accommodation. They allowed us to park there early and said we could leave bags earlier than check-in if we wished. The small room was furnished with a luxurious feel and a comfortable bed. Breakfast (included) was delicious and served by happy and friendly staff. We loved it!

The only problem we had was the temperature in the room. The radiator in the en-suite didn't turn off and as the door had been left open, it heated the bedroom uncomfortably. It was the middle of the night so we shut the door and opened a bedroom window which worked perfectly to cool the room for a good night's sleep.

My family and I booked a stay to celebrate our parents wedding anniversary. The hotel Manager, Paul, and all the staff members were absolutely fabulous. They arranged a private dinning room for us all and were very accommodating. The meal was superb and the service was equally fantastic. Our room was very nicely decorated, modern, clean and had everything we needed. Breakfast was great with a wide variety of options to choose from.

Only the bar prices, but I think they are similar everywhere in the Lakes.

Excellent staff, friendly, polite, helpful, very accommodating. Great welcoming atmosphere. Lovely clean room and comfy bed. Food fantastic and very accommodating with mine and my husbands food allergies. Could not fault it.

Nothing, everything was great.

We were a group of friends looking for a hotel we could meet up. Coming in from various parts of the UK our main criteria were comfort, nice food, friendly service, convenience for touristy things. Briery Wood did not disappoint. In fact it exceeded expectations. The rooms are spacious and feel quite luxurious. Lots of little touches make it stand out. The dinner menu (included I our rate) was not restricted- and the food was fab. Beautifully presented and tasty. Bar well stocked and a great wine list. Breakfast was a stylish and plentiful too. And the staff went out of their way to make us welcome.

Nothing

Lovely location & the staff were marvellous, they couldn't do enough to help. I have lactose intolerance & they easily catered for that, both at dinner & at breakfast. The room we had (21) was nicely decorated & very comfortable with plenty of storage. It also had a small balcony from where we could see Lake Windermere. There were sufficient tea & coffee facilities, some biscuits & a jar of boiled sweets.

I wouldn't say there was much not to like. If I were to say anything, the room was a little warm , even with the heating off, but that would be very nit-picking.

This was our second stay at the hotel and we loved it even more. The room we had was spacious, spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and an interesting shape! The bathroom was top quality, hot water on demand, a powerful shower and it was a treat to have a bath too. The hotel served a good breakfast and the 3 evening meals we had were delicious. All members of staff were attentive, professional and nothing was too much trouble. Truly pampered! Plenty of parking.
