Ambleside Road, Ambleside, LA23 1ES, United Kingdom –

Lock in a great price for Briery Wood Hotel - rated 9.3 by recent guests.

to get started.

Beautiful property in a beautiful setting. Around a 40 minute walk into Ambleside along the main road and beside the lake. Didn’t get round to using the restaurant or bar areas but could see that they were very inviting and stylish. We had a room to the side of the property where we could see a cattle shed and some beautiful cows in an adjacent field which lay behind the property. A lovely natural setting. Even had a small balcony from our room over looking these so could have happily sat out on an evening stargazing with champagne, or during the day also with champagne.

Matthew, United Kingdom

Nothing to dislike about this hotel. Sadly our stay was cut short by a day and a half due to receiving news that our dog had been viciously attacked back home. Would definitely revisit and stay again. Lovely, friendly and warm staff. Very helpful and considerate.

Room was tired, no bar fridge and toiletries were ordinary. Some how the pillows were extraordinarily uncomfortable - almost hard?! Also, when anyone closed/slammed a door in the corridor near our room, it felt like they were in the room with us. This was somewhat disconcerting and didn't make for a great night's sleep.
Staff were friendly and helpful, property was well located. Breakfast was nicely done.
