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

From the outside The Royal Oak looks like an ordinary pub, but inside it is far from ordinary. We were warmly greeted by Jason who showed us important things like where to find the heated room for drying boots etc., and also the complementary tea, coffee and delicious homemade scones.
The interiors are attractive and relaxing, the rooms comfortable, and the bathroom had a bath and a great shower.
The food is amazing, and the three course dinner menu great value. Rezina our waitress was as warm, friendly and helpful at breakfast as she had been at dinner.
We had a great stay and plan to return.
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.

Little 2 bed room had a sink in it which was nice. Duvet and pillow were great and comfy.
Great facilities at the common areas, bar, dining room, self catering kitchen and games room :)

As a Cumbria Way Hiker I did feel a little out of place being a bit stinky but was made to feel welcome by lovely staff. Food was excellent, bed so comfy and a big bath tub all set in one of the best places in the lakes

the rooms had the most amazing views
service from staff was amazing
breakfast fantastic choice
and a picnic bag was unexpected
overall worth every penny
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 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 breakfast was great, with a selection of cereals and pastries from their continental spread and the cooked breakfast (the full cumbrian) was spot on. The staff were really helpful and had such great knowledge of the area. I would recommend Scafell Hotel to anyone who is keen on the outdoors, as it’s in a prime spot with only a 6 minute drive from the foot of scafell pike
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.
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 appointed hotel in all the communal rooms as well as our room, beautifully put together place with a fantastic restaurant and top notch staff!! all in all a real gem of a place, excellent value for money you would expect to pay much more for the level
of quality delivered!!
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.
Everything was perfect for our needs, just been up scarfell pike and the hotel was 5 minutes away from our set off point. Lovely bar and a nice dinner for our recovery after our walk. Hot shower and a comfortable bed! Great place to stay. Would definitely stay again.
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!
Lovely staff, room was spotless and bed was so comfy. Food was absolutely amazing, be sure to book an evening meal during your stay. Also loved the small bar chatting to other people staying at the hotel
