When you think of the Lake District, spectacular fells, picturesque lakes and stunning scenery come to mind. The Royal Oak in the Borrowdale Valley delivers, with its idyllic location in the North Lakes. We have access to the best display of fell walking in the country with walks and activities for all levels of fitness. Let your adventures begin.
The new owners have created a stylish and contemporary yet homely and charming place to stay. Extended and totally refurbished throughout, they have respectfully recognised its character and setting in the valley.
They have thought of everything, even a drying room with boot warmers and an electric car charging station.
