ESCAPE TO THE COUNTRYSIDE
AT THE BORROWDALE GATES HOTEL
WELCOME TO
Borrowdale Gates Hotel
Originally a magnificent private residence, the Borrowdale Gates Hotel in the Lake District, maintains the lovely, homely atmosphere of a genuine country house. Set in its own 3 acres of wooded grounds at the head of Derwentwater facing south into the Jaws of Borrowdale, it’s no surprise that Alfred Wainwright described it as the “loveliest square mile in Lakeland”.
Sit back in a winged armchair in front of open fires and immerse yourself in a good book with a bottle of Chardonnay in our lounges, with their full-length windows looking out across the farm animals in the field and the Borrowdale Valley. After a day of hiking, sightseeing and exploring all this area has to offer, with the many attractions in Keswick nearby, guests are assured of friendly, personal service in a peaceful setting and award-winning cuisine surrounded by the beauty of the English countryside.

Thoroughly recommended. A nice quiet location with great views and ideally situated for walks to nearby fells including Cat Bells. The service was excellent, all requests were catered for during our stay and the restaurant and bar staff are always warm and friendly. The room seemed to be newly renovated to a good standard as the corridors looked more dated. It was modern, clean and comfortable. Lovely balcony to sit on an evening and watch the red squirrels in the garden. Really could not fault this place.

Wonderful weekend stay in the quieter Borrowdale valley. Perfect location, great food, staff were fantastic. We were lucky with the weather and managed to see some red squirrels. We had their three course dinner, which has about 4 options that change every night. Very tasty.
