Great stay despite disappointing first impression
Been staying at Beech Hill many times over the years. Usually a great stay. Disappointing when I bring friends that the first impression from car park to stairs to Reception is worn and in places threadbare gives a tired and negative introduction to the hotel. Other than that, the stay was very enjoyable and the staff very friendly and helpful.
The room was excellent with a superb view of Lake Windermere.
We found the bed too firm so staff gladly moved us to a new room with softer bed which in fact gave us an upgrade. Staff very helpful with choosing and moving.
Food and service were marvelous in the restaurant again with amazing view of the lake in the morning(obviously this time of year it is too dark in the evening).
A pleasant few days break
As marked a pleasant stay. Hotel itself showing signs of wear and tear - tired decor. A few areas in process of being refurbished but much more required to fully restore and update
Stay at Beech Hill Hotel
My wife and I stayed at this hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Overall the stay was good. We were upgraded to a premier plus room which was lovely and there was a card in our room which my wife thought was a nice touch.
Unfortunately there was a power cut on our arrival so the reception was in darkness. This meant that although we were kept informed there was not enough time for the hot water to heat up before going down to dinner but it was hot the next morning.
My one observation is when we were seated for dinner we were seated opposite the kitchen door. I did not understand this as there were lots of much nicer tables available in the restaurant. I asked to be moved and we were but it was done rather begrudgingly and I fail to understand why you would be seated at the worst table in the restaurant when others were available. The food was good but not exceptional. The service was good with attentive staff.
The decor is quite dated and the hotel reception needs attention. However our room was clean and had a lovely view across the Lake. Overall a good but not outstanding experience.
Enjoyed our stay BUT
Carpets on stairs torn, rooms cold, particularly the dining room, and the food was not the gourmet experience sold to us. The breakfast was particularly poor with hard fried eggs that were left sitting a long time.
After saying that we enjoyed being in the Lake District but would only rate the hotel two/three star.
It was certainly not the luxury break we were sold.
Over elaborate
There were no simple choices on the menu. Every dish had an elaborate sauce or combination of ingredients. I found there was something I did not like in each dish, my wife felt the same. I would not book half or full board again for this reason.
