| Originally, a magnificent private residence on the edge of the historic hamlet of Grange, Borrowdale Gates maintains the lovely, homely atmosphere of a genuine country house where the cares of the world go away. Our location is simply sublime. Set in two acres of wooded gardens, with a backdrop of ruffed high rising fells, close to the shores of Derwentwater, we offer seclusion without remoteness. The hotel aspect is prefect, providing panoramic views of the dramatic Lakeland scenery. We offer an individual service, a charming hospitality and memorable, award-winning menus. Come to the Borrowdale Gates for peace, tranquility and the simple yet noble pleasures in life. Whatever the difference of opinion there may be as to the relative merit of the principal lakes of the District, there can be no doubt that Borrowdale holds the first position amongst its valleys. Exploration of the Borrowale valley is richly rewarded. Gentle strolls and more srenuous walks are possible from the gates of the hotel. Cruises on Derwent Water, the 'Queen of the English Lakes' are nearby and the welcoming market town of Keswick is just a leisurely, scenic drive. Lodore Falls, made famous by Poet Laureate Southey and the Theatre by the Lake are also to be found in this inspirational area. |
| Lounge Open log fires (in winter), rich, warm fabrics and furnishings create a restful, easy air. Within the Lounges, you can converse, or contemplate the picturesque views, accompanied by tea, some of our delicious homemade delicacies, and our discreet, attentive service. What more could you wish for? Dining Picture windows run the length of the Restaurant and their captivating fell views ideally complement our food, which continues to win fulsome praise from guests and critics alike. Our unique combination of traditional British dishes, using the best of local Lakeland produce, and classic French cuisine, creates archetypal county house cooking, with a light, modern interpretation. Our wine list offers a choice of old and new world labels to suit every palate. The Bedrooms Our cosy, comfortable rooms, all en-suite, are wonderful to retire to after an invigorating Lakeland walk or local sightseeing trip. Most command panoramic views of the Borrowdale valley and fells and are well equipped with colour television, direct dial telephone and morning tea and coffee tray. Our ten ground floor bedrooms present guests with convenient, easy access. |
| The Gardens What could be more relaxing than spending a glorious afternoon in our Gardens with a refreshing drink and a good book, while enjoying an occasional glance or longer meditative stare, at the impressive Castle Crag, Jaws of Borrowdale and majestic Lake District scenery all around? The Location From Keswick, follow the Borrowdale sign and B5289 road. After approximately four miles, turn right at the sign for Grange, over the double humpback bridge. The Hotel is situated about a quarter of a mile, through the village of Grange, on the right. |
