My daughter paid 57 for me and my wife to have afternoon tea at beech Hill. Food was just OK. Nice setting over the lake.but when the waitress came out to ask if everything was OK I asked for our half bottle of champagne. She didn't know anything about champagne. When she checked at reception. She came back with the bottle but no glasses. So we said don't bother. We will take it home. It would have been nice to have had the champagne with our food and enjoyed the views.

Shocking! Arrived to a receptionist that gave no welcome other than "rooms not ready". Paid 160.00 massages but couldn't use the pool or facilities To use pool etc 18.00 per person but even then you may not get in as limited numbers Rooms not cleaned came back dirty towels beds not made no one had been in to clean Even Premier Inn cleans the rooms Reception staff poor! Bar staff and restaurant very good Spa massage very good Rooms clean but extremely tired and dated Male manager very helpful Such a shame as when we questioned things they couldn't care less Beech Hill you need to review your policies as you have stiff competition elsewhere

Just got home after a 2 night stay Hotel was very nice.brilliant service from the staff.nothing to much trouble. We had a package which included the spa and a beautiful cooked breakfast ( definitely recommend) the continental breakfast is all you could ask for on its own.however the cooked breakfast was perfect. Room was clean and tidy.we had the basic room.but it did the trick.beautiful views We stayed 2 nights.would only recommend the maid to renew the tea tray etc Spa facilities which I have to say offer amazing facilities.sauna room.beautiful pool and lovely outdoor jacuzzi x 2

The hotel is nice, rooms were in a good condition and decent size with fantastic views of the lake. The spa is really great, outdoor hot tubs over looking the lake are particularly special. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The one thing I would say is don't bother with the continental breakfast is you are staying one or two nights.

We had a nice stay. The hotel is quite ran down from the entrance of the car park, it does not give it a good first impression. Staff were all lovely and attentive. Used the spa facilities booked a couples package at 185 however we were still charged 17.50 to use the pool, which We thought was cheeky considering we were residents also. We booked dinner bed and breakfast. The food was good, but was u pleased that the menu contained extra charges for things like a rump steak, cheese there always seemed to be pay extra for this and that.

Breakfast was also the same had to pay an extra 26 for 2 cooked breakfasts. The lounge and restaurant needs updating the colour scheme is dull. But the view of the lake is amazing. The room was basic but very clean, also needs a revamp. On the whole we had a good stay

Good location for Windermere and local attractions. Room was clean and had a nice lake view and was a good size. Continental breakfast was good, I didn't feel the need to pay extra for a cooked breakfast. The swimming pool was good, with jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, but you need to pay 17 extra to use this. Not a bad price if you intend on spending 3 hours there. There seemed to be a lot of couples using it as a spa day, rather than actually swimming. The room wasn't serviced whilst we were there. Apparently they were short staffed, but our bins needed to be changed. Overall a good hotel and I would use it again as it was comfortable.

The lake view of the hotel is stunning. So the bar area, our room and the hot tubs all have a great view! Spa facilities are good. I had a facial massage and it was ok. But the noise cancellation in the rooms is poor so it was quite noisy at night. We could hear the TV and conversation next door and it was a bit annoying. So if you just use the spa and go out at night without staying much in the room, this is a good place to stay.
