The grounds
Moments from the eastern shores of Lake Windermere and set in seven acres of beautiful secluded gardens and woodland lies Briery Wood Country House Hotel.
This beautiful Lake District hotel is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a country house atmosphere with all the comforts of home, while surrounded by spectacular landscapes, lakes and fells.
History of the hotel
Briery Wood was originally known as Holbeck Cottage. It was built at the end of the 19th century and was part of the Earl of Lonsdale's Estate, used for the servants working at nearby properties. It was also home to the main gardener who developed the stunning grounds that can still be enjoyed today.
In the fifties the house was occupied by the Brown Family who were in charge of installing electricity to the local valleys.
Lake District Country Hotels bought the house in 1998 and restored many of the original features, returning country house charm to the property.
Dogs Policy
Briery Wood are proud to be a dog friendly hotel - four legged friends are just as important to the hotel as two legged guests.
Dogs are welcome to stay in all of the bedrooms. On arrival you will find a lovely soft cosy blanket for your dog to lay on, a water bowl, some scrummy biscuit treats and a juicy bone.
The Lake District offers walks galore to choose from - so whether you and your dog enjoy a stroll on the lake shore or prefer a more energetic romp up the fells, you won't be disappointed.
There is a one-off payment of £20 for furry friends.
You are welcome to dine in the bar or lounge area with your dog. Dogs are not permitted in the main restaurant.
