I had a wonderful stay!
Pros:

The hotel is in a superb location with great walks on your doorstep. The hotel has a pleasant garden for relaxing and a large car park. My bedroom was spacious, nicely fitted out in a modern style and benefitted from a lovely view down the valley of Borrowdale. The catering was of a very high order.

Cons:

Nothing!

Pros:

We loved Borrowdale Gates. We stayed here for three nights while hiking in the Lake District. So many hikes are accessible directly from the hotel - which was amazing. The restaurant was amazing. Definitely very refined cuisine, and everything local. The food was exceptional. Special shout out to Hazel at the bar, and to lovely Shaneen at the front desk. Everyone was great.

Cons:

We liked it all. It was a bit expensive, but worth it.

The staff and location were the best part.
Pros:

The location is gorgeous. Set out in a very small village but close enough to Keswick.

Cons:

The bathroom felt dirty. There were cobwebs and a spider on our ceiling. The bottom of the shower door was covered in mould. The bathroom was also very small and the fixtures and fittings felt too big for the space
