A classy gem in the heart of the Lake District, everything about this hotel is beautiful and good quality, from the rooms, amenities and menu. I highly recommend staying here.
The tasting menu is delicious. The staff were really friendly and accommodating.

Absolutely loved staying at the Rothay Manor. We honeymoon here in 1999 and have stayed a few times on our anniversary. We were a little apprehensive this time as the hotel is under new management and a few of the reviews on Trip Advisor haven’t been so good, however this wasn’t our experience. The staff from the first person who took our reservation, all the bar and restaurant staff were superb, friendly yet professional. Our room was lovely (a superior room with a balcony) clean and supplied with everything we could need. We had an evening meal which was beautiful and breakfast was excellent too. Thank you so much Rothay Manor for taking good care of us, we’ll be back.

What a wonderful hotel experience! Everywhere was well decorated and spotlessly clean and the food and service were absolutely superb on all three days-both dinner and breakfast. What a chef! All the waiting staff were first class- just the right balance between friendly and formal. You really felt that they were happy and well looked after themselves too! Nothing was too much trouble. We were made to feel welcome and really at home. A sumptuous and comfortable hotel (and not too stuffy either which we don’t like). We shall certainly be going back to Rothay Manor. Thank you to all the staff 👍

Over priced and overrated. This place is dog friendly so expect loud barking dinners lol. Bar and FoC staff are great but food and wine selection is poor. Food menu is confusing and so is the wine list making it difficult to find what you’re needing. Took me a very long time to get a wine that I needed. And staff had no idea about the selection rather than suggesting something just gave up. So unprofessional.

Beautiful stay at The Rothay Manor to celebrate my 60th birthday. The room was stunning and lovely and warm. Luxurious furnishings and I had a wonderful bath in the roll-top bath! Service was impeccable 👌 We had dinner at the hotel last night which was delicious and a real fine dining experience.

A very expensive stay for a very dirty room. We booked this last minute. The room was nice except for the crisp packet and sweet papers we found under the bed and the bitten in to biscuits by the kettle. The sheets had black hairs on them and crumbs like someone had eaten in the bed. The room was very noisy with a door that shakes every time someone walks past and we were woken at 6.30 am with people coming in and out of the building and hoovering and making tons of noise. It's clearly a hotel for people who love dogs more than they love children as lots provided for dogs and nothing for children. The food in the restaurant was delicious. We had a dinner that was exceptional cooking and service and the breakfast was ok. The only people I would recommend this hotel to are people with dogs because all the barking will be fine for them.

Stunning room in the pavilion. Green and gold decor, enclosed garden terrace area brought so much peace and tranquility. The staff in the dining room were exceptional! especially the French and Portuguese gentleman. Thank you for an excellent stay.

Superb hotel with friendly and very attentive staff. As a couple we had a very relaxing and luxurious experience. The hotel is a perfect location to be able to walk to Ambleside and we really valued the impact that had on our stay. Yes it’s near roads but we didn’t feel that impact as the grounds are so pleasant and the road noise was muted. The restaurant was a real high point. Beautiful food. A real experience. I would love to return to this hotel again.
