“Very tired and dated”

Just had a night at the Beech Hill and, have to say, I can't really make up my mind. On the one hand, the hotel is very tired and dated. On the other, it is in a lovely location and has certain charms.
I booked a basic double room and, within 10 minutes, I was upgraded after complaining. There was a massive, dangerous tear in teh carpet right by the door, the hot water tap dribbled (at best) luke warm water, the bathroom window could be opended from ground level outside and the ceiling was damp and had leaked onto some of the furniture, which had not been changed.
The upgraded room was a whole lot better. However, the bathroom was not as clean as it should have been.
I had two coffees in reception and these were poor. However, the breakfast was excellent.
One of the problems, I think , is that they pay Eastern European staff very low wages and I imagine standards have dropped. This was clearly, once, a very impressive hotel.
It is a shame, but the hotel is very dated and tired-looking. For example, the swimming pool area was very cold and looked dirty, with old tables lying around etc.
Even the building outside looks like it is fading away. Strong management would sort this place out and a lick of paint would go down a treat. But not that bad, just don't expect perfection for the price.

We have just returned from a 2 night stay at the Beech Hill and had a wonderful time. This is a hotel where you can relax and unwind
We booked a premier plus room and where not dissapointed. The room was brilliant with a massive bed, leather suite and Plasma TV.The bathroom had a Seperate shower and wirlpool bath. The lake view was superb even at this time of year when the weather is not at its best.
We ate from the 5 course gourmet menu and the food was superb, as was the breakfast the following morning.
We will be booking another weekend very soon.

“Loved the view- shame about exterior”

Just returned from a 3 night stay at Beech Hill.
Don't be put off by the exterior,it's nothing that a lick of paint ( or three ) and some TLC will not cure.
We too were lucky to have our room upgraded to a lovely, lake view with patio doors.
Nice big bathroom with corner bath and separate shower.
The food was excellent and the staff helpful.
Staircase to our room was abit threadbare but this did not spoil our overall enjoyment.
Used the pool which was only marred by the rather basic changing facilities.
Overall we found it very good value.

“A Lovely Break”

Beech Hill Hotel

2 Mar 2008

W e are just back after a one night stay and I have to say that we had a lovely time at the Beech Hill Hotel. The room was huge and had a fabulous view of the lake. Lovely comfortable king size bed, lots of hot water and great food and staff. I had only two gripes - the room got very hot and the radiator was very hard to turn off, and you had to be very careful not to get the bathroom floor not too wet, as it could be very treacherous on the tiled floor. Having said that, we had a great time and will definitely go back again.

1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed at the beech Hill Hotel for one nights quick get away for a little break and change of scenery, and believe me we were not disappointed by the scenery. When we arrived at the hotel we were greeted by a very friendly and efficient receptionist who advised us that the room we had booked had been upgraded free of charge due to the better rooms being available, I thought this made an extremely refreshing change and restored my faith in customer service. The room was a very good size with the biggest bed i have ever seen, the rooms were exceptionally clean and the views over looking Lake Windermere were breath taking, our patio doors opened onto a grass terrace with chairs and because the hotel is on a hill side and the hotel is staggered due to this you are away from other occupants apart from those on your level which on ours I think was about 5, so you also had peace a tranqulity. We had a quick look while we were at the hotel at the pool which looked nice and clean although we didnt get chance to use due to our quick visit. All the staff that we met we friendly and helpful, and the restaruant food was absolutely out of this world with a superb choice to choose from to. The breakfast the following morning was excellent they had all breakfast foods that you could think of, cererals, breads, fruit etc and then a help yourself hot buffet of bacon, eggs etc, this was all eaten whilst sat at your dinner table looking over Lake Windermere.I would have to be extremely picky to find fault with the hotel but if i had to pick one, then it would be that the carpet in some of the main areas in the hotel could do with replacing but that is really all I could find fault with. My other complaint is that i couldnt stay any longer as i would have loved to stay for about 6 weeks !!! I will be going back as soon as i can get away. This hotel could certainly be our second home.
