Mix up on the booking. Expected to hang up our own coats. Waitress at the bar actually said to me "write down your name as I am too lazy"! Food well presented but not very good quality or tasty. Decor old fashioned. When we asked for a taxi we were told to go to the bar to get one.... Halfway... More

Excellent hotel just outside the town centre. Although not in Ambleside we found it ideally located between the lake and the town, 10 minutes walk to each. The room was a good size, had a large en-suite with bath and shower. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the well kept gardens to the front. I suspect the rooms... More

We booked this hotel because of the reputation of being a family friendly hotel but unfortunately not as child friendly as I had hoped. Another selling point was the balcony on a superior room, unfortunately the balcony isn’t private and the furniture on it was pitiful.

Our standard room was a good size, the bed was very comfortable and the housekeeping staff were zealous in their duties. The centre of Ambleside was an easy, er, amble from the hotel and we... More

I took my husband to the Rothay Manor for his birthday. We were very impressed with the food and the attentiveness of the staff. The selection of food for breakfast was excellent and every thing was very fresh. Finnan haddock was a treat for breakfast and the home baked bread at dinner time was delicious. More

Wonderful staff from the time of booking to end of our stay. We booked a short stay with our teenage children. The rooms were spacious, spotless and comfortable and the food was very good indeed. Most of the hotel guests were elderly (who knew of the hotel's good reputation) and we were teased by our teenagers for choosing a "Miss... More

Didn't stay at the Rothay Manor, just went for Afternoon Tea as a birthday treat from my family. It was Lovely. Staff were attentive and friendly. Afternoon tea was set out Buffet style in the dining room, and you could sit in either of two comfortable lounges. Everything was fresh and tasty, beautiful scones with the best jam I've ever...

We have just returned from a 2 night stay DBB to celebrate my Wife's birthday and it was wonderful. The staff couldn't do enough for us, the food was to die for and the room (we had a superior room) was excellent. We will certainly go back again. Thank you to all the staff at Rothay Manor who made our... More
