One of our top picks in Ambleside.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 entrance to the hotel would have benefitted with a sign for the hotel at least 50yards from the entrance as it is a time for entrance & cars would be able to slow down in plenty time.

The coffee makers in all the rooms were an interesting idea but the fact they sounded like a battalion of electric drills going off reverbarating through the room walls morning and evening was a big issue. Generally sound insulation wasn't great so if bothered by this best avoided.
It looked as if it had been recently refurbished and was very clean.
