A wonderful stay at a very special hotel. The room was perfect, the food was lovely and all of the staff couldn't have been more helpful. And, let's not forget the magnificent surroundings. Thank you
The Borrowdale Gates is a total gem. It exceeded our expectations. The staff are professional and accommodating. The breakfasts were great and we dined in all 4 nights - a first for us - largely because the cuisine and attention to detail was superb. AND the view from the dining room was breathtaking.
We had a great break at Borrowdale Gates. the place is o peaceful and the views are immense!! Even had a red squirrel pop up onto the window ledge while we had our breakfast yesterday. We will return again soon.
I've never been to the lake district before. This girl is a converted manor house, with much of the elegance from earlier times, combined with a unique combination of comfortable amenities and mid-century decor. And the surrounding area was transcendent. I could see me living there I've I retire
Borrowdale Gates is a lovely hotel set in a great setting in the Lake District! Super refurbished rooms, great restaurant and food, and peaceful and revitalising
Lovely hotel in stunning setting. Everything was great, staff, bedroom, service and especially good food in restaurant. Parts of hotel currently undergoing redecoration but that didn’t impact on our stay, from the parts already finished looks like it will be even lovelier.
Been going to the Lakes for over 20 years and we thought we had stayed at some great hotels until we stayed here. After a couple of hard years where customer service had gone down the pan, this experience was incredible. Brilliant food, excellent service and beautifully decorated. Not at tired like many other hotels.
Great service, really helpful, friendly staff, comfortable rooms with good beds, really good food and set in the middle of some of the most beautiful countryside in the world. A+++ hotel!
Cannot fault this hotel. Location is STUNNING! Food brilliant and staff efficient and friendly. An old style country house hotel with fabulous gardens. 100% recommend
Hotel was lovely. We booked a delux room with a king size bed and garden view. Although we were assured it was a king size bed we thought it was a double. But it was comfortable. And our view was of the car park. Overall a perfect location and staff very polite.
Great couple of days at the hotel, room good size and bathroom too. Great views from the room /Hotel. Food very nice and service excellent. Bus to/from Keswick stops outside hotel. Lots of walks from the hotel. Had superb weather which always makes the stay a winner too but a nice place to stay whatever the weather.
Good hotel with great views of the crags.Situated just on the edge of the village of Grange about 5 miles from Keswick.
Some nice walks with an easy 40 minute walk to Lodore Falls. Regular bus service to the bridge at the entrance to Grange if you don’t want to walk back.
The staff were excellent and couldn’t have been more helpful.
The only negatives were the room not being serviced between days however the guy cleaning the vacant next door room freely offered to do ours when requested for fresh tea and milk supplies which earned him brownie points. Additionally the kitchen seems to struggle on Saturday night and Sunday morning. We didn’t order a starter on Saturday which seemed to upset the system. After prompting following a 30 minute wait bread and an amuse bouche arrived but our meal took 50 minutes to appear. On Sunday morning the neighbouring table were still waiting for coffees when we left despite having eaten their starter off the buffet and the arrival of their cooked breakfasts.
However would I choose this hotel again? Yes I would. You certainly won’t get a better group of staff wherever you stay
