Excellent stay

Some hotels work hard to provide excellence and a very few find it comes naturally. The latter fits the bill here. We had a wonderful stay and on the final evening decided it was our best holiday detination ever. Having visited 70 countries it was some accolade

Lovely hotel in a beautiful setting

This gem of a hotel benefits from a beautiful location, brilliant staff and fantastic food.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for 3 nights in the Scafell room with great views from the Juliet balcony, spacious room and a comfy bed.
The lounge and bar areas are lovely to relax in and the outside gardens a very relaxing place to read, stroll around and enjoy.
The restaurant was spacious and the large windows all the way around gave a great sense of space and light as well as wonderful views down the valley. It was also a great place to watch many species of birds on the feeders. All the staff were wonderful, caring and attentive and we enjoyed a good chat with a few of them. All in all a great place and we will definitely be back.

Great return visit to our favourite hotel

Our third visit to Borrowdale Gates was inevitably rather different but we were hugely impressed by the response to all the current difficulties. Welcome as warm as ever, staff unfailingly friendly and helpful, restaurant meals as good as we remembered. First class in all respects.

The location was great
The room however was closterphobic and extremely hot with no view at all

Wonderful stay

The staff, food and location are superb. Breakfast and dinner were delicious. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. This is one of the best hotels we have visited as part of this years "staycations". We will return.

Slightly disappointed in the room but great food

We originally booked a superior double room but were later told only a twin room was available. We were assured this was also a superior room but we were disappointed in the size of the room itself - only the bathroom could be designated 'superior' as it had a separate shower and corner bath. We were offered a small discount which we accepted.
The meals, however, were definitely superior - nicely presented and cooked just as we had asked. We requested an alternative starter one evening and were given a beautiful fruit salad.
