When you think of the Lake District, spectacular fells, picturesque lakes and stunning scenery comes to mind.

The food was the absolute best on the entire trip. The building is old with a lot of history but newly renovated with comfortable, modern fixtures and furnishings. The bed was very comfortable with high end linens. Hotel caters nicely to walkers with a special drying room for boots and outer gear and plenty of hooks in the room for all of your gear. The staff were all friendly and helpful.
Set by a river, this Lakeland YHA in Borrowdale Valley has fine mountain views and an informal atmosphere. Enjoy family-friendly walks, laundry facilities and hot meals.

We loved our stay, very comfy beds/rooms, the bar area was lovely, we sat next to the real fire and had dinner, perfect end to the day after a long walk.
Breakfast was also very nice, good selection of food and quick friendly service.

Comfortable interiors, fab location- bus stops outside, delicious food, friendly and attentive staff especially the kind South African guy who checked me in when I booked last minute and v late on Monday night.
Absolutely stunning landscape. There are lots of beautiful walks from the hotel and a great tea room - the Flock Inn with wonderful views from the back seatin area. It is short walk to Stonethwaite which has a great pub and mining museum in the church. The best thing is the serenity and lack of other tourists.

very well located if you want to stay somewhere quiet but also be in short driving distance from lots of popular hikes and Keswick town.
Some of the best views around here.
I would say don't stay here if you don't have a car, stay in Keswick.
not sure how frequent busses are but would be a pain as the shops are 15mins away driving if you forgot the milk!
again if you like boozing then stay in Keswick itself as plenty pubs / bars etc.
Food is great in Keswick loads of options, good hotel restaurants etc from Rosthwaite to Keswick along main road too. also plenty of places to stop, park, hike, picnic etc as you drive straight by the lake.
Very dog friendly everywhere we went. Cat Bells and High Spy are some of the friendlier climbs / hikes with amazing views and also good for your pooch!

Beautiful walks and stunning views of the fells.
Beautiful walks and stunning views of the fells. There is no need to use the car as there are many walks around, two pubs nearby, and a cafe. There is a regular bus from Keswick that comes through Rosthwaite to Buttermere and back.
The location is excellent for walkers, but it is quite remote, so maybe not ideal for families with small children looking for kid-friendly activities.

I love this part of the world, I never get tired of driving or hiking the valley and the surrounds no matter what the weather. It is a staggeringly beautiful place and it is sometimes hard to believe this is in England.

The location is incredible, perfect for heading out into the surrounding hills and valleys etc. The Derwent water circular walk is a must. The walks are challenging ! (not all) and walking boots etc are a must! There are no shops in the village just one small tearoom and two pubs/hotels, Keswick is a six mile scenic drive.

Lovely location with nice walks nearby.
Lovely location with nice walks nearby. Just don't expect great tv reception or wi-fi signal at the hotel, but the views, scenery, location, welcome from the staff at the hotel all combined more than made up for this. We loved our stay and would love to return again at some time for another visit.
The staff were very friendly.
We didn’t stay for dinner on this occasion but the breakfast was fabulous.
Complimentary tea, coffee and scones were a very nice touch. The room was very comfortable and lovely and warm. the bath and shower were fantastic.
Spotlessly clean throughout.
The only improvement would be to have a tv or radio in the bedroom.
We have stayed in many hotels and b&b’s in the lakes. This one has been the best so we will be returning.
We booked a bunk room with four beds. It was perfectly OK for a party of blokes climbing some hills. The hotel has had a lot of money spent on it and it was elegantly decorated (even the bunk room) and spotlessly clean. The food was better than standard pub grub, and good value for money. It is of course in a beautiful area. The staff were charming and friendly. Altogether a very well run establishment.

This hotel is amazing!! We don’t have one bad thing to say about it. From the food, to the location & staff, 5* all around. Everyone was super helpful and friendly - especially Rosena. The freshly prepared food of an evening is very tasty, just what you need after a long day out & the breakfast was also top notch. Hotel is situated in a little village and close to lots of country walks.
The staff Iona was so friendly and welcoming
The breakfast menu was extensive and good quality products
The evening meal in the restaurant was beautifully prepared and a fantastic choice
The Riverside bar friendly some nice whiskey
The ambiance was typical traditional Lakeland luxury at an affordable price
Location perfect for Borrowdale walking
Lovely, friendly staff. It seemed like they were all family and made us feel part of their family for the two nights we were there. We were also overjoyed that we could bring our trainee guide dog puppy to stay with us inside the hotel. Furniture in the room was a little dated, but all very clean and beds were clean and comfortable.
The hotel was lovely, clean and very welcoming to dogs. Our room was located on the ground floor, spacious, gorgeous decor and ideal to nip out with the dogs for a toilet stop. Great location, to explore surrounding area. Bus stop right outside so easy to get bus into keswick. Breakfast was exceptional. We would definitely return.
Cracking cosy countryside hotel, perfect for walks or a good book and a pint. Recently renovated the room was lovely as were the public rooms. The breakfast was excellent, wonderfully dog friendly and a decent drying room. Coffee machine available throughout the day and an excellent set menu supper option.
Fabulous stay, food and staff very friendly. We loved the heated boot room so our boots and coats were dry for the day after. Perfect starting point for a hike, we did Eagle Crag, Sergeants Crag and Ullscarf one day and Grange Fell and Castle Crag the day after from the hotel.
Hotel has had a recent refurbishment and is stunning throughout. Food was excellent for both evening meals and breakfast. Super friendly staff and posh boot room with individual air dryers for your walking boots. A walkers paradise!
Stunning location. Walks from the doorstep. A dog friendly hotel including special treats left in our room! Superb breakfast. Coffee machine available all day - very welcome on return from a long wet walk!
Great location walked straight into the hills from the hotel. Bed very comfortable with great pillows slept like a log. Breakfast delicious. Very quiet, friendly staff.
