We have been coming to this Hotel since the late 70's and always enjoy our time here. We stayed over night on Friday night 2nd February. Our room was classed as prestige but the only disappointing thing was that it was small and on the side of the hotel which overlooked the car park. (One small point that it did say on the website was there were slippers in the room unfortunately they werent and this was brought to the attention of the receptionist who was going to look into this). The good point was that you could see Cat Bells Black Crag Maiden Moor Eel Crag and you could see down the Borrowdale Valley towards Seatoller. Looking out towards the back of the Hotel you can visit the Lodore Cascade which is a waterfall. The cleanliness and comfort of the room was good as always but unfortunately did not compare to those rooms on the front which we had stayed in times before. This did not spoil our stay. We attended the wine tasting held in the wine cellar which is at the back of the dinning room which was very enjoyable. Cath was very knowledgeable in the subject. This is recommended to anyone staying at the hotel on a Friday at 6.00pm. Our meal was amazing as always accompanied by a very good choice of wine and served by very pleasant staff under the supervision of Cath. Breakfast was also served in the dining room which was excellent especially for those guests exploring the area and was served from 7.30 until 9.30 am. The bar and lounges were comfortable for relaxation too. With very obliging bar staff. Another advantage to the Hotel is there is plenty free parking spaces either on the front or back of the hotel. All in all 10 out of 10 again for The Borrowdale and it's staff. We will be back soon.

Just returned from another break. Last minute booking taking advantage of the barking mad offer with tea and scones on arrival. A wonderful stay. Our room was lovely with a view of the lake. As usual the staff , service and food were all excellent. This place never fails to give a relaxed and comfortable break which is why we return again and again. Thank you
