Plucked out of the air by TripAdvisor for a last-minute break near Keswick ….Borrowdale Gates. We loved it ….We live not too far away and often visit Keswick and the popular spots in the Lake District, but this area of Borrowdale was something special. Driving down the east of Derwentwater, through the little village of Grange, arriving at the Gates Hotel. Simple check-in with Shynese and shown to our lovely room 10. A short ride down to Keswick on the western road …fantastic views of the lake; then back to the Gates, rest and down for dinner. Fillet of beef and corn-fed chicken ….beautifully presented and tasty, with a delicious dessert to follow. A good night’s sleep, then down for a hearty Cumbrian breakfast. Off to Cockermouth (loved the independent shops and the history ….and the Moon and Sixpence coffee shop); then onto Buttermere and a short walk along the lakeside ….such stunning scenery - we must go back and walk the circular tour of the lake. Back to the Gates and refreshing drinks on the lawn; chose to eat in Keswick, but so crowded. Our last night’s sleep, then our last Cumbrian breakfast before saying goodbye ….but we’ll be back. Many Thanks to James and all the staff …see you soon.

This visit was no exception, the staff were wonderful - remembering all the children’s names, attentive and friendly. The food, was as always, a highlight, we always save our dog Monty a sausage from breakfast! The view over the garden from our room (High Spy) is beautiful.
