The property is very nice, quiet surroundings and the perfect view you will expect from a hotel this price. The food is above expectation with a totally different menu 2 nights of stay.

Great food at both breakfast and evening meal, friendly staff, great views & recently decorated. However staff on the phone weren’t very helpful when I accidentally booked the wrong rate, and it took quite a while to amend despite ringing up immediately. We were also staying in room 2, which was lovely but a lot smaller than the photos and was a bit small for 2 adults. Coffee’s were also charged extra at breakfast which wasn’t made clear.

The overall cleanliness of the hotel & the service was wonderful with the exception of a grumpy woman behind the bar her service was awful, she didn’t even come to take my order for lunch I waited 40minutes I even had to go & ask & order it myself up at the bar, it wasn’t even busy. She wasn’t very helpful it was as though she didn’t like the job! Her approach to customers wasn’t great really to be honest. But I certainly give 5 stars to all the other staff in the restaurant & especially the lady at reception. Thank you to those staff that made up for the grumpy one with glasses.

Lovely break in beautiful surroundings

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.

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.
