Tried & Tested
Having stayed at The Borrowdale Hotel himself, Trekking Tom is a genuine advocate of this special corner of the Lake District. He loves that so many iconic walks begin right from the hotel’s doorstep – meaning you can step straight out into the fells without ever needing the car.
After a rewarding day on the hills, Tom highlighted the simple pleasures that make a stay here so memorable: delicious, hearty food, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and a team of friendly staff who truly look after you.
It’s this combination of incredible walking and relaxed comfort that makes The Borrowdale Hotel such a perfect base for a guided walking break.
