In that time, its changed hands a time or two, has grown quite a bit and the facilities in the rooms and public areas have been enhanced quite a bit.

When we arrived we were greeted warmly by the girl on reception and taken to our rooms which was nice as often you are pointed in a general direction in most hotels. The Borrowdale Gates was a...

Called in for lunch whilst on a walk and had the nicest welcome we ever had anywhere. The young lady who greeted us showed us through the hotel to a lovely, bright, lounge with great views. Ordered lunch which was very tasty, obviously freshly made and beautifully presented by other equally great staff. So impressed we've booked to stay in... More

I recently spent one night at this beautiful Lakeland hotel with my husband. 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

Recently returned from our second visit to Borrowdale Gates - it was every bit as good as our first visit. We had a lovely, quite spacious room with balcony (must be lovely in summer!) looking towards Borrowdale Jaws and Castle Crag (above the dining room). All staff we encountered on our visit were excellent - friendly, attentive and though also... More

This was our second stay at the Borrowdale Gates and again we were made to feel very welcome.

This time we had one of the new... More
