Briery Wood Hotel
What Guests Say
The staff were all super attentive and lovely. They made a real fuss over my dog and made my mum and I feel very welcome during our stay. Our room had a door straight out onto the grounds which helped with letting our dog out for the toilet. The staff organised a table so that our dog could dine with us for both breakfast and dinner. Dinner was delicious and the porridge at breakfast was lovely. The grounds are lovely! Little touches such as the jar of sweets.

Convenient location close to shops restaurants and point of interest, the room was a good size with all you needed included, very clean hotel overall as well, refurbished bathroom with great water pressure. As we were had a dog with us I loved the fact that we had an extra door outside directly to the garden so going out for toilet with the dog was super easy. Nice view from the room and lovely gardens around the hotel. Good quality and fresh breakfast. Good parking with fair amount of spaces around. Friendly staff.

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 hotel is set back from the busy Windermere to Ambleside Road and is quiet and has a “happy” feel about it. Its position made it ideal as a base to explore the local lakes. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive with good service in the restaurant and bar. Breakfast was excellent with the food being cooked to order. Evening meals - good choice and were excellent. Best book a table. Room was clean and comfortable and with a bath in the en-suite. It was a “house room” and adjacent foliage made it a bit dark. This was fine for us but “garden view” or “superior” rooms are probably lighter. Lovely well tended gardens to walk round. Plenty of parking.

Breakfast was a standard selection of creals, juices and croissant plus a good selection of cooked dishes Kippers not available one morning Dinner menu alternates every second day. Good selection of choices. We both found them very filling if three courses taken.. Room was a little dreary caused by a steep bank outside but it was comfortable and well appointed. Very attractive and well maintained grounds. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

The weather was unbelievable for March. The location close to Ambleside was perfect. The rooms were modern and spacious with good tea facilities and toiletries and great shower and bath. The room was very clean and regularly serviced and the bed was large and comfortable. The £25 rate per stay for a dog was very good (often the charge elsewhere is per night) and they provided a doggy welcome pack. Dogs are allowed in most areas except for the main dining area. The room was very quiet and had plenty of storage. Breakfast was a highlight. Plenty of parking.

A lovely hotel in a beautiful location. Excellent value for money. Our quiet room had recently been refurbished ( room 24) and was spotlessly clean. Comfy beds, loads of storage, plentiful tea and coffee facilities. A large, spotlessly clean bathroom with, huge fluffy bath sheets, a range of complimentary comfort items, shower gel, shampoo, body lotion,soap, shower cap, cotton buds. A powerful shower over the bath, so the option for a bath or shower. A heated mirror with dimmable light and even a wall mounted toothbrush charger! The staff were all friendly and helpful. We enjoyed reading in the comfortable lounge and a drink from the well stocked bar. We also experienced a delicious and very affordable meal in the restaurant and the great choice of breakfast in the morning. As already stated, excellent value for money and we can't wait to book our next visit.

The staff were always very welcoming and helpful. I think they are the best asset of this hotel. The location is very good in the Lakes District, between Windermere and Ambleside, and set back from the road, so quiet. The hotel was very clean, with contemporary furnishings. A good choice at breakfast, the food was excellent and served without much of a wait. We loved visiting the highland cattle behind the hotel and seeing them up close.

Hotel was immaculately clean and considering all rooms are dog friendly,very impressive. Have stopped in loads of other dog friendly hotels and you know you are in a 'Dog friendly' room (bit ropey),absolutely not the case at Briery Wood. Staff were really welcoming and friendly,treated us all really well and couldn't do enough to help. Location was lovely and quiet and the beds are really comfortable. Lovely decor all over the hotel. All in all a lovely stay,will be recommending to friends and obviously we will be back.
