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.
Set in 2 acres of tranquil wooded gardens. The charming rooms have TVs and tea and coffee facilities, and many have breathtaking views of the valley and fells.

This hotel in offers breathtaking views of Lake Thirlmere, exceptional hospitality, and a tranquil atmosphere free from sound pollution. The host's warmth and helpfulness enhance the experience, making it a top choice for a serene, quiet getaway.
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.
We liked everything about our stay, welcomed by a smiling face, excellent service from all staff, a lovely room and absolutely delicious food for breakfast and dinner. The location of the hotel is in a perfect location, not far from Keswick and plenty of walks on the doorstep, with Scafell Pike only a short drive away. The hotel also had a drying room for all your wet walking gear which is definitely needed and very much appreciated after a soggy afternoon of walking!
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.
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
Traditional hotel in Borrowdale with a nice bar, good beer. Food is good in both the bar and restaurant. Nice fires in the lounge and cocktail bar. Very convenient for local walks or even bigger mountain walks straight from the hotel so no driving needed. Possibility of getting a bus almost to the door if you have no car.
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.
Beautifully modernised hotel with rooms and facilities which exceeded expectations. The lovely staff are an asset to the hotel and couldnt have done more to make us feel welcome. Excellent breakfast, superb dinner, and the homemade and complimentary tea and scones were so welcome after a day on the fells!
This hotel is in a lovely location, away from the busy over popular areas of the Lakes, the hotel is stunning with a nice mix of modern and traditional.
The staff were wonderful and couldn’t do enough to make our stay as relaxing as possible, highly recommended and will return again.
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 location, high standard of accommodation,
and truly dedicated and friendly staff. Restaurn meals were outstanding.
We felt this it really good value for money.
Hotel has been recently refurbished and guests
can now enjoy one charming 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!
