Laura Ashley The Belsfield Hotel, Bowness-on-Windermere
The facade retains the name prior to joining the Laura Ashley group of hotels in 2012. 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 former access to the road is now blocked by a locked gate and a strategically placed seat.
