Briery Wood Hotel - Ambleside

The garden view room was lovely, but the dining area lacked atmosphere.

The hotel is homely and clean, nestled in a truly lovely building with nice view of the lake. The Michelin star rated restaurant with good choice for breakfast and lovely evening meals is what you need.

The restaurant was good with spectacular service from the staff here, I had excellent dishes. The view was stunningly beautiful of the lake.

My suite had coffee and tea/coffee.

Beautifully maintained grounds, Excellent breakfast options, Luxurious wedding facilities

Limited parking availability during peak times!!! Noise issues from other rooms!!! Poor water pressure in showers!!! Expectation vs. Reality for views is a letdown!!! Need better maintenance for visible building issues!!!

would be happy to recommend for a quick stop

Luxurious room, comfortable breakfast, with excellent staff were really nice to make our stay enjoyable, including free wi-fi in public areas and convenient free parking.

Almost perfect.

great stay but could improve room amenities

The lounges had a cozy atmosphere. The breakfast selection was good, and the staff were attentive, everything was satisfactory.

The bedroom lacked some thoughtful amenities that would have enhanced comfort.

Fantastic stay overall. The staff provided really good service and the gardens are beautiful. Room was a bit too warm, making it uncomfortable at times.

Really good dining experience highlighted by beautifully cooked traditional dishes. The room was spacious, complete with a comfortable bed and a modern en-suite bathroom with a shower over the bathtub. Perfectly cleaned while we enjoyed the delicious breakfast with good American pancakes. The lack of an open fire in the common areas detracted from the cozy atmosphere during cold weather. The seating arrangements in the lounge were limited at peak times, which could be improved.

A Perfect Getaway with Lovely Dining

The jacuzzi bath in our spacious room was a highlight. We enjoyed the exquisite three-course meals, especially the Cumbrian lamb-absolute perfection! The friendly staff made our anniversary special. Pro tip, book a taxi for easy access to nearby attractions.

The staff treated me well. I connected with one of the team members who had a knowledge of local craft beers, made for an enjoyable evening. Breakfast had a variety of options, and I appreciated the fresh fruits available. A perfect spot for someone like me to relax and reflect after my recent loss.

Being a bit isolated from major attractions required some planning. The absence of a direct view of the lake was a slight drawback.

Loved the calm outside and the dog-friendly policy was a bonus. The a la carte menu was delish, and the location was perfect for local walks.

Briery Wood offered a good stay with clean, spacious accommodations and a lovely garden area for relaxation. Although the dining experience fell short at times, the attentive staff and well-stocked bar made up for it. A pleasant escape that I'd recommend.

wonderful walks and scenic park views in ambleside

We sampled the delicious themed afternoon tea with gorgeous homemade treats and indulged in the vibrant surroundings, making our strolls through the nearby parks and landmarks a true delight.

The staff provided a warm welcome and ensured my comfort throughout. The room was spacious and immaculate, equipped with complimentary tea, coffee, and snacks. The Wi-Fi was reliable for my work needs. Breakfast was a highlight, offering fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. The overall atmosphere was modern yet inviting.

The bed firmness was not to my preference.
