Briery Wood Country House Hotel in South Lakeland

Brilliant one night stay at the Briery service was great the breakfast was really nice and lovely scenic walks to Ambleside and also windamere.

Just stayed a night on a DBB basis (good value) with wifey & dog. Staff were brilliant - very dog friendly, understandably we can’t dine with our dog in the dining room but they have a separate room which is brilliant. The bedrooms have a door to the patio/garden. Beds super comfy, lovely bathroom. Been here several times. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t kind this time!

We had an excellent stay at The Briery - the food was amazing, staff were all very friendly and room was 1st class. Not taking anything away from our stay but if I had one tiny criticism it would be that the dining room furniture wasn't up to the same standard as the rest of the hotel - apparently waiting for an upgrade

We played here last night for a wedding. This venue is split between many rooms with a partition between the main two. This means extra mobile fill-in speakers in the bar area, which wasn't a problem at all. One thing we did enjoy was the attention to detail, and hospitality the staff gave us. Although much of the information was on our dj planner, it was good to know we were both working from the same page. Thank you staff.

We enjoyed a superb afternoon tea here. Loads of excellent food in a lovely setting. We liked it so much, we've booked an overnight stay here!

Fantastic place loved every minute staying here staff was lovely and got us everything we needed during our stay

If you enjoy walking, you will find it difficult to cross the road at the entrance to the drive, as there is no footpath on the same side as the hotel and the traffic approaches at speed from both directions.

My wife and I spent a mid week break with you. We were greeted by Martin who was outstanding throughout our stay. The attention to detail and looking after our needs was first class. We would recommend to everyone

The hotel is set in beautiful surroundings. Great for wedding venues. Breakfast was delicious Staff friendly and professional Room was delightful

My wife and I planned one night stay in which we were so impressed with the meals, rooms and especially the amazing staff (hats off to Danny and one of the cleaners) that we booked another night for the meals. The lakes district has so many options but I cannot, and will not go anywhere else from now on. Well done from the sailing crew of SV Cassius

I lived at bribery wood back in 1949 ( holbeck cottage) its still as I rember it ,beautiful.

Perfect location for exploring the area, our room was spotless, very large comfortable bed, service and food in the restaurant was outstanding, any staff members we encountered were so polite and helpful. Would definitely recommend

Stayed one night staffer we’re friendly and welcoming, the chap the bar was supper helpful, Breakfast was was good We had a garden view room bed was super comfortable room was warm in the night even with the window open. A taxi in to Ambleside were not cheap a £15 each way

Really like the building and the garden. The room was warm. The bed was big and comfy.

Booked this as our “just us” wedding. From arriving and checking in to the wedding was absolutely fantastic. Staff go above and beyond to make sure everything is all good and that the wedding is going smoothly. Food is ready exceptionally well prepared and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning.

Fantastic place, absolutely nothing to complain about

Lovely hotel, Lovely and Very friendly staff which made my Daughter and Now Son in law Wedding Day a FANTASTIC Day. The food was lovely too !!, with Great Service. The Gardens around the hotel are well maintained and the perfect setting for a Wedding. Even the Garden ground Staff were Lovely and friendly. A job well Done to ALL the Staff. Thank You AGAIN to ALL the Staff which made my Daughter Wedding Day a FANTASTIC DAY.

My husband & I had our wedding on 24.04.24 as a just us package but booked an additional night on top at Briery Wood and every single thing from the moment we walked through the doors til we left was absolutely amazing. Staff consistently went above and beyond for us to make us feel comfortable and enjoy our stay! The restaurant and food were absolutely amazing, there was a lovely menu and an even better afternoon tea. Our wedding day was made to be even more special by the team and they all worked together to make it such a memorable day which both my husband and I incredibly appreciate and will be very happy to come back again, it is well worth a trip!

just spend 2 nights in this amazing hotel. What can I say other than WOW. right from the moment we entered the doors we were made to feel welcomed. I have stayed in places with my dogs before but never in a place where they are more welcomed than people. If you are looking for a dog friendly stay then this is the one. full range of the hotel (except the main dining hall), doggy welcome pack on arrival and staff that just love dogs. I will defiantly coming back here again.

Fantastic Dog Friendly hotel. The location is perfectly placed between Windermere and Ambleside, making it easy to visit both places. The staff were great, really welcoming and importantly made the dog feel welcome.

Had a lovely stay here. ALL the staff were exceptional, nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent, bedroom a good size and very comfy bed. Would recommend to any one and definitely going back for a longer stay. Set in lovely gardens

Thank you for the lovely tea. Danny was a great host.

Had afternoon tea, got alot and brought some home

Had a lovely stay. Staff were brill and the rooms were clean and comfy. The place is a little out of the way from everywhere but that does mean you get a more peaceful and quiet location. Easy to get to places by car. Bus stop not far away taking you to local towns. Breakfast and cream tea were perfect.

Afternoon Tea was great. Recommended
