About this property

Set close to Lake Windermere, just a 5-minute walk from Long Wood Bay Watersports Centre and a 2-minute drive from Ambleside, Briery Wood Hotel is surrounded by peaceful fields and woodland. The traditional property has its own restaurant looking out onto landscaped gardens. Each bedroom at Briery Wood Hotel comes with an en suite bathroom and complimentary toiletries. The décor mixes modern and traditional, some with heated towel rails and large sash windows, while all rooms come with a flat-screen TV. Free Wi-Fi is available in the public areas, the Holbeck Bar offers fine wines and whiskies, and tea or coffee can be served by the fire in the lounge area. Food at Briery Wood is sourced from local farmers, fishermen and butchers, and freshly cooked breakfasts are served each morning. The creative menu includes Herdwick lamb, local Cumbrian cheeses and fresh trout. Al fresco dining on the hotel’s terrace can even be arranged, weather permitting. The spectacular Langdales are within 10 minutes’ drive, and mountain biking can be enjoyed from the doorstep.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.
