8/10 Good
"The food in the restaurant was not very good at all. Very little selection . The menue was the same each evening, including the soup of the day. The out side patio needed the ash trays emptying and rubish off the floor. The staff were lovely but at times there was not enough of them on shift. Resulting ln a long wait at the bar to be served."

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Borrowdale is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For travellers looking for cheap hotels in Borrowdale, focusing on the villages just outside the immediate valley, such as Keswick or even Grange-in-Borrowdale, often yields more affordable options. While Borrowdale itself is renowned for its natural beauty, accommodations directly within the valley tend to be pricier due to their prime location.Keswick, a bustling market town just a short drive or bus ride north of Borrowdale, offers a wider selection of budget-friendly guesthouses, B&Bs, and smaller hotels. Solo travellers will find Keswick particularly appealing, with its vibrant setting, diverse eateries, and easy access to local bus services that can take you into Borrowdale for hiking and exploration. The town also boasts numerous pubs and cafes where you can enjoy a reasonably priced meal.Alternatively, Grange-in-Borrowdale, a charming village located at the northern entrance to the valley, can sometimes offer more modest pricing than properties deeper within Borrowdale. While options here might be fewer, they often provide a more tranquil setting, suitable for those who prefer a quieter base.
How much does a budget hotel in Borrowdale cost?
Budget hotel prices in Borrowdale vary, but you can find a great deal from £89 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates. Typically, off-peak and mid-week stays are cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
When is the most affordable time to visit Borrowdale?
For budget-conscious solo travellers, the most affordable time to visit Borrowdale is generally outside of the peak summer months (July and August) and avoiding school holidays. Aim for the shoulder seasons of late spring (May and early June) or early autumn (September and October) to find better value on accommodation and experience fewer crowds.During these shoulder seasons, the weather is often pleasant enough for hiking and exploring the stunning natural beauty of the Lake District, yet prices for guesthouses and B&Bs are typically lower than in peak summer. You'll find the footpaths less congested, making for a more peaceful experience, and many local pubs and cafes will still be fully operational.
Is Borrowdale a budget-friendly destination?
While Borrowdale is generally considered a destination for those with a more substantial holiday budget, travellers can certainly experience its breathtaking beauty affordably with some clever planning.For accommodation, look beyond the central villages and consider staying in nearby Keswick, which offers a wider range of guesthouses and B&Bs, often at better prices. From Keswick, numerous bus routes provide easy access into Borrowdale, making it a convenient base for solo travellers or couples.The true value in Borrowdale lies in its natural attractions, which are entirely free. Exploring the stunning fells, walking along the shores of Derwentwater, or hiking to viewpoints like Surprise View are all fantastic, cost-free activities. Couples can pack a picnic with supplies from a local shop in Keswick and enjoy it amidst the spectacular scenery.
What free activities should we do in Borrowdale?
For budget-conscious travellers visiting Borrowdale, the most rewarding free activities centre around its stunning natural landscapes and walking opportunities. The area, located within the Lake District National Park, offers a wealth of outdoor experiences without costing a penny.Solo travellers and couples will particularly enjoy exploring the extensive network of public footpaths. A gentle stroll along the banks of the River Derwent, perhaps starting from the village of Grange and heading towards Rosthwaite, offers picturesque views of the valley and fells. For a slightly more challenging, but incredibly rewarding, walk, consider the route up to Castle Crag; while it requires a bit of effort, the panoramic views over Borrowdale are simply breathtaking and entirely free.Another fantastic option is to spend time by Derwentwater, one of the larger lakes in the region. You can enjoy a leisurely walk along its shores, find a quiet spot for a picnic, or simply take in the serene beauty. The area around Ashness Bridge, a short drive or a longer walk from Borrowdale, provides iconic photographic opportunities and stunning vistas without any entry fees.
