Royal Oak Hotel - A dog-friendly retreat in Borrowdale Valley with locally sourced dining and scenic walks
Nestled in upper Borrowdale just outside Rosthwaite, the Royal Oak Hotel offers characterful rooms with individually sprung mattresses, hypoallergenic bedding, and views of the beck or surrounding fells. Guests can enjoy a four-course evening meal (£27 per person) featuring locally sourced produce, complemented by real ales and fine wines, or start the day with options like classic eggs benedict or smoked salmon on toast. The hotel provides doorstep access to walks such as the Coast to Coast path and Cumbrian Way, along with amenities like a drying room with boot warmers and an electric vehicle charging station. Nearby landmarks include Castle Crag (1 km) and Lodore Falls (4 km), while Penrith serves as the nearest rail station with connections via Virgin Trains.
Pros
The hotel features a drying room with boot warmers and an electric vehicle charging station.
Locally sourced dining options include a four-course evening meal and hearty breakfast selections.
Dog-friendly policies allow well-behaved pets in most areas, including guest rooms and the bar.
Proximity to scenic walks like the Coast to Coast path and Cumbrian Way.
Cons
The nearest rail station, Penrith, is 80 km away, requiring additional travel arrangements.
Dogs are not permitted in the main dining room, though alternative seating is available.
“The hotel strikes me as a haven designed with the fell walker in mind, judging by the drying room and hearty meals. Rosthwaite's valley views are definitely a highlight, and there's a clear emphasis on locally sourced food. It seems ideal for those who appreciate unfussy comfort after a day on the trails.”
