Reviews

David 8/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Nice hotel in great location, plenty of walks to explore Borrowdale from the door.

Pros: Great location. A decent breakfast, but choice was a little limited if you didn't want a cooked breakfast. Toast from sliced bread not good enough for a hotel of this class. Evening meal excellent.

Cons: Nothing much, apart from comments above on the breakfast.

Relaxing, peaceful and quant

Pros: Setting. Peaceful. Old fashioned hotel but modern facilities - the bathroom was fab

Cons: We got a good deal in February but the prices go up drastically in Soring and further

10/10 recommendation!

Pros: 10/10 best place we’ve stayed in the lakes! Cannot recommend this place enough, superb location tucked away but still close enough to Keswick! Staff were super friendly! Extremely peaceful, lots of local places to go for a walk, also the scenery is picturesque. Honestly a great place to de stress! Fantastic facilities, our room was absolutely gorgeous. Clean and comfortable, literally so quiet had a lovely night sleep. The view from our room was breathtaking! We will be visiting again soon and definitely recommending to friends and family! Thankyou!!

Cons: Breakfast was a little on the pricey side at £19+ per person, but we just went to a local cafe instead. Absolutely not an issue to us but I’m sure it would be lovely as the restaurant looked amazing!

Lovely hotel with beautiful rooms

Pros: The room was decorated beautifully, the bar and lounge areas were also stylish

Cons: There wasn’t any atmosphere in the bar area and even before last orders (10.30pm), we felt a bit awkward as if the staff were trying to close up and wanted us to leave

Nichola 9/10

Gorgeous hotel and will return

Pros: The location is picturesque, staff friendly and clearly happy to be a part of Borrowdale Gates. Sandra is a huge asset on reception. The restaurant looked lovely and the food quality both at dinner and breakfast was faultless. Our room was fabulous with views we will return for.

Cons: Our fabulous bathroom was let down by lack of hot water… the system doesn’t cope with peak shower times… we had a gorgeous bath but unable to use after our long mountain walk as no hot water… I was devastated! Great option to service own rooms but surely enough toilet roll could be provided without having to go to reception to request it. A more luxurious pillow would have been lovely
