"Really lovely venue. Clean, spacious and attentive staff. They went out of their way to help! The food was delicious- we had the breakfast and, even as a big eater, I had to leave some of the full veggie english (amazing sausages!)! The pancakes were great too! We also used the packed lunch making facility for our climb to Helvellyn (which you can do from the hotel!) and this was also really nice. Would highly recommend. The only thing that would improve the hotel for me would be a dry room...

Top Buttermere Lake Hotel Reviews

Borrowdale Gates Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"As a first time visitor to the Borrowdale Gates Hotel I have to say what a wonderful experience. The location was perfect with access to many hiking trails. The staff were pleasant and very attentive to our needs, the facilities including the restaurant were excellent, serving very high quality food. After spending several days at the Hotel I am convinced we will be returning. From two happy customers."

Keswick Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The food in the restaurant was first class and the staff were friendly and always helpful"

YHA Buttermere - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Spot on"

Mill House - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

10/10 Excellent

"Mill House is situated in one of the prettiest and most peaceful parts of Braithwaite. Just across The Puddle (the road to the cottage) is Coledale Beck with its little bridges adorned with flowers. The cottage itself is generously sized, well-appointed and was spotlessly clean. It is light inside and the lounge/dining-room/kitchen is surrounded with windows and lovely views. The bedrooms share these views, and the master bedroom is dual aspect looking down the Beck on one side towards Skiddaw and up The Puddle the other side towards Kinn. The cottage has a private driveway though the gates are a little narrow for a large car. The garden at the back is magnificent and allows you to relax to the sound of the Beck. One thing we would particularly praise about the kitchen is that two cupboards were empty meaning we had places to store our food and some of our own utensils. There was very little to fault but in the interests of constructive criticism, the ensuite basin is just suitable for handwashing. Any other washing would need to use the full-sized basin in the bathroom which might result in a queue should there be six people staying. We would also have liked places in the bathroom to hang bath towels and places in the kitchen to hang tea towels."

Rose Bank Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 5 guests in 3 bedrooms

8/10 Good

"if it were not good we would not have stayed here 7 times. Parking, and getting out not easy due to hedging and increasing traffic down Newlands Road. Excellent for dogs"

Riverside Cottage/Bungalow - Borrowdale - Nr Grange - just 4 miles from Keswick

10/10 Excellent

"Host and family were really lovely.Spotless cottage. Top grade facilities.Spectacular views from all windows.It is Borrowdale after all one of our favourite places to visit.Patio was lovely with river view.Pity the weather wasn’t kinder.Will hopefully visit again soon."
