Two Cumbrian hotels have been named among the best in the UK in Tripadvisor’s prestigious Travellers’ Choice Awards 2025.
Borrowdale Gates Hotel in the Lake District has been named a Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best award winner, ranking 18th out of the top 25 hotels in the UK.
The Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best title represents the highest level of excellence in travel, awarded to fewer than 1% of Tripadvisor’s eight million listings.
The award celebrates outstanding service, memorable guest experiences, and consistently exceptional reviews over the past year.
The Crown Hotel in Wetheral, near Carlisle, has also earned a place in Tripadvisor’s 25th anniversary Best of the Best Hotels in the UK and Channel Islands, recognising the hotel as one of travellers’ all-time favourites over the platform’s 25-year history.
The hotels are owned by The Kronen Collection – it acquired the Borrowdale Gates Hotel in February this year.
Christina Stephenson, group sales and marketing manager, said: “These awards reflect the dedication of our teams and our shared commitment to excellence across every property in The Kronen Collection.”
The Kronen Collection, which also owns hotels in Newcastle and Newquay, revealed it planned to invest £2.2 million in refurbishment and improvements over the next year across its four venues.
