My parents stayed at this hotel last year and had a super time, sadly it has gone downhill since then. They stayed for two days last week and had a very disappointing time. The restaurant staff were lovely but the reception staff and the manager were less than accomodating. The roast beef on Sunday was so rare that it was... More

Firstly, i should have checked just how far this Hotel was off the beaten track my mistake ! The Borrowdale Hotel has that period charm that you feel as soon as you walk into the reception in all truth a really lovely hotel.

Have recently spent a 2 night break through travel zoo and enjoyed our stay completely although we had reason to change rooms twice.

We have stayed at the Borrowdale for a number of years, and always had a great time. The refurbishments that have taken place are brilliant but at some cost of other services. We arrived to find our room had been changed from the one that was booked for no reason. It was eventually put back to the one booked. Items... More
