"We gave the Borrowdale a try but won’t be back . We will resume our annual stays at the Bridge Hotel in Buttermere."

4.0

Staff quite pleasant

Food very poor. A small bowl of cold, chopped up cabbage, and bits of carrot was presented as mixed vegetables. And the shepherds pie was 5% meat and 95% potato.

8.0

The room had all the facilities that we would expect and was bright and clean.

Breakfast service is slow, particularly waiting by the entrance for 5 minutes plus every day to be allocated a table. Breakfast menu and food are excellent. Staff should replenish empty items from the buffet bar regularly without having to be asked by guests every time. Bar meal Shepherds Pie cost £25 and was a small, starter sized portion. The serving of red cabbage was miniscule and this was the only vegetable. For this sized dish the cost should have been £12.50 maximum.

"Added to a wonderful experience and visit to Borrowdale"

9.0

Food was good, room was good although a little too warm durning then night. Unfortunately I didn't get to experience the full breakfast as I had to leave before 8 so only had a basic breakfast. Food met expectations

Cooler rooms. I know it is difficult to get it right for all guests. but found it too hot during the night. I turned the radiator off and opened the window and still felt warm.
