We booked once again for a few days break at the Borrowdale Gates, after a previous enjoyable short break there. This was for our wedding anniversary.

I've been staying here every two or three years since the late 1990's.

We had a lovely room overlooking sumptuous views (sadly it was too wet to sit on the balcony) which was truly comfortable and room with an excellent ensuite bathroom. We arrived late afternoon having had a lovely local walk (this really has to be one of the... More

Have to give the management credit.We turned up here,after beautiful day in the Lakes decided to stay on a whim ,straight off the fells dressed only in in our walking gear. Despite our scruffiness - clean tshirts bought in Penrith only concession to propriety- we were treated like royalty. Food lovely - recommend the fillet steak- and generous measures of... More
