Relaxing Break at Borrowdale Gates Hotel

Our friends had recommended the hotel and we were not disappointed. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The hotel had recently been refurbished and it felt luxurious but cosy, with a really nice atmosphere. The food was excellent, with the menu changing daily with a range of starters, mains and desserts to suit every taste. We were sorry to leave and hope to return again soon.

Wonderful stay

Had a wonderful stay at Borrowdale Gates. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. The room was very comfortable and the view was amazing. Thank you for making it a special stay

Restful retreat

This was a wonderful restful retreat for us in an idyllic setting amongst the Lake District Fells. Perfectly located for walks on the doorstep after a great breakfast. Then return home to dinners which we are still talking about. We felt very lucky to have stumbled across this hotel. Looking forward to a return visit.

Excellent in every way

Every aspect was much appreciated, the staff were really great considering the times we ve been through.
The organisation was excellent and not controlled by technology, which we appreciated!
The food and its presentation was special and enjoyable

Wonderful lakes break

Fortunate with the weather, it was glorious. Hotel and staff looked after us very well. Area is fantastic. On the Sunday did the ferry all round the lake and then got dropped off at base of catbells which we then climbed all 451 m of it, a bit scrambly but views at the top are brilliant. Monday did the walk from the hotel all round Derwentwater lake which came out at 11.9 miles but it was worth it. It was good to get back for afternoon tea, a rest and then a very nice dinner in the evening. All in all a great lakes break made even better by the hotel and staff.

A rare treat

There are many good country house hotels but Borrowdale Gates is right at the top. The food is amazing and the staff are very friendly. A key advantage is so many walks from the door.

Lovely Stay

Absolutely wonderful vacation, from the time we arrived until the time we left!!
The staff were attentive and friendly. We stayed in the Wainwright room which was light, airy, with fantastic views. Sitting out on the balcony in the evening - having a glass of G&T was a lovely end to the day.
The food was amazing - fabulous choice of breakfast; the porridge was to die for and the evening meals were well worth the wait.
All the staff were lovely.
