It was a pleasure to return to the Borrowdale once again. Our first visit was in 1961. In recent years we have been staying for a week or once a year.

John

The Borrowdale Hotel's great attraction is its location with easy access to many walking trails. The staff are excellent. The standard of cleanliness is high. The restaurant menu is recommended. The bar menu is limited. Certain rooms at the front have wonderful views towards Derwentwater.

Gillian

United Kingdom

Our first impression when we arrived was the hotel looked a bit old fashioned, the first room we were offered was too small and hot with a poor view. We asked if we could change room and were offered a much better room at the front. The food and service was nothing short of superb. Silver service, professional and attentive from all the staff, the meal in the evening was delicious and the breakfast very tasty. The location is a little way out of Keswick but there is a good regular bus service and if using a taxi make sure you book as it can get busy in town on Saturday evening.

In the Borrowdale valley, this charming hotel has traditional rooms, and is surrounded by picturesque Lake District scenery. Free Wi-Fi is provided, as well as free private parking.

Built in 1866, The Borrowdale Hotel still retains many original Victorian features. Some of the bedrooms feature lake views.

With open fires, the oak-paneled lounge bar and conservatory are open for light lunches and afternoon teas, with terraces overlooking landscaped gardens and surrounding mountains. The AA Rosette Restaurant features a fine menu and friendly staff.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.3 for a two-person trip.

The price was a little towards the high side, but it was high season so probably driven by supply and demand.
