Borrowdale Gates Hotel

Originally a magnificent private residence, the Borrowdale Gates Hotel 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 of Keswick nearby, guests are assured of friendly, personal service in a peaceful setting and award-winning cuisine surrounded by the beauty of the English Lake District.
