Laura Ashley The Belsfield, Windermere (The Lake District)

Laura Ashley The Belsfield in Windermere is a superb example of Victorian Italianate architecture, and is amongst the grandest Victorian Buildings on Lake Windermere. Built in 1845 as a private residence for the Baroness Von Sternberg, the house was acquired by the steel magnate Henry Schnieder in 1869 and converted to a hotel in 1892 and extended to provide additional bedrooms shortly before the First World War. The Hotel has been refurbished throughout by Laura Ashley designers, drawing their inspiration for the project from the beautiful building and its perfect location by the side of Lake Windermere. Situated in Bowness on the Eastern shore of Lake Windermere and directly overlooking the “Belle Isle”, the Laura Ashley Hotel The Belsfield is the perfect place from which to enjoy a holiday in Windermere. Set in 6 acres of landscaped gardens the boutique hotel offers unparalleled views over Lake Windermere in the foreground, and on the farther shore can be seen the often snow-capped Langdale Pikes and the Fairfield Horseshoe
