"Excellent"

8.0

The property was beautiful

Service was lacking not up to a four star hotel. Reception is unmanned most of the time as Staff double as reception and servers. Staff work hard but seem shot-staffed.

"A nice venue to relax & use as a base to explore."

9.0

The bar’s & lounges were comfortable, the beer garden was great. Plenty of choices in the menu. Staff were very friendly. Nice touch with free coffee after dinner.

The meal portions were large, would prefer smaller portions & so then we may have managed starters & sweet.

"A thoroughly enjoyable stay for a few days post a Family Wedding in Scotland on route home."

9.0

Food was excellent per se. Single room was very small though.

The Restaurant Menu offering for Dinner was excellent for our taste and choice. The Bar Menu, although not offered whilst dining in the Conservatory, needs to have a few more choices eg, a pasta dish a salad. Some people do not like overly, herbed/spice food so need to cater a little less 'fine' dining options. Service was excellent - Gentlemen who served us very polite, engaging, very professional.

"Sadly, will not be booking here again!"

3.0

Position. The staff were helpful, especially within the restaurant.

No lift, though a member of staff helpfully carried our cases up to our refurbished room on the second floor. However, over the five days and four nights, the room was not vacuumed at all, and it was evident! However, the food was dismal, and as my wife remarked, cooking is obviously a job, and not a vocation! Cooked breakfast which had evidently been drying up on a hot plate for some time, parsley sauce with fish pie which I turned upside down in its container, it defied gravity. High meal prices not reflected in meal quality at all. Undercooked root vegetables every meal. Over-cooked new potatoes every meal.

The Borrowdale hotel is in a wonderful spot surrounded by outstanding scenery. It is a quality hotel offering a great dining experience, comfortable quiet rooms and caring helpful staff.

Nothing the hotel can influence, but don't rely on the bus service. The timetable is just for show!
