Stayed one night in early October. Noise from the kitchen extractor fan can be heard at reception so imagine what it's like in a "deluxe double" overlooking said fan. Was shown several other available rooms but was warned by the receptionist that they had not been modernised and were unlikely to be acceptable! She was right. Truly awful accommodation and... more

We recently spend a three day break at the Borrowdale Hotel having stayed at Lodore Falls twice I would re-iterate what has been said previously. Having paid to upgrade room to superior it did have a lovely view and room was spacious however, it looked as if the bathroom had been updated the room did not, bits of wallpaper torn... more

the Hotel is looking better than ever. My wife has been visiting this hotel for the past 34 year so is hard to please. The staff are as friendly as ever, the refurbishments have given a new life to both the public areas and the bedroom which was stunning.

We returned after I had specifically asked the receptionist on the phone before booking re "the beds"..she said the hotel had been... more

I first stayed at the Borrowdale Hotel in 1990 and I've been back again on eleven occasions since then. Whenever I visit England I try to include some time in the Lake District and when I do I always stay at the Borrowdale Hotel. The hotel is situated in the Borrowdale valley some 4 miles from Keswick. It's a country... more

Visited partway through the refurbishment - minimal inconvenience. All staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately we had to make some use of the drying room - much needed. Great stop during our tour of the lakes, Muncaster Castle, Ravenglass, Keswick and Ambleside following son's wedding. more

We stayed here for a weekend, and found the hotel very well furnished with good sized rooms. The best part however was the silver service dinner on an evening. The location is a bit "out of town" so can be expensive on taxis if you are going into or out of Keswick late on. The only drawback was we felt... more

We had planned a four night stay in our favourite part of the Lake District. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed by Sue on the reception and she offered us help with our luggage. We had booked a de luxe room and the one we had was newly refurbished and was very pleasant indeed. It was tastefully decorated, and... more
