This hotel is indeed closing from Jan - May 2008 for a major extension, rebuild of public areas and upgrading of many of the bedrooms. So we took advantage of a 'closing down' sale and stayed for 4 days in the Loft suite, soon to be joined by many others of similar quality, and had a great time. Not our... more

Returning to a hotel where one has previously enjoyed an excellent stay can sometimes prove to be a disappointment. However, for the Rothay Garden it is pleasing to report it was just as good as before. This time we enjoyed a Grasmere room on the first floor. This was a large, traditionally furnished room with a four-poster bed and a... more

We booked a Langdale Room with Four Poster, when we arrived and were shown to our room we found a dirty carpet, pre war bathroom which did not smell very pleasant, the bed cover has been peach once and was now so faded it no longer matched the curtains and a sofa which was falling to bits, We complained and... more

Having stayed at Rothay Garden previously and enjoyed the food very much, we looked forward to our second stay. However, on the same night as dining in the hotel, I developed a very unpleasant bout of sickness and diahorrea that I could only attribute to the food consumed earlier in the hotel (scallops with finnie haddie sausage). The next morning... more

On arrival we were greeted by a very friendly Hotel manager named Elliot. When we got to our rooms one of them just had a bath without a shower which was disapointing. As with most UK country hotels the rooms were rather small but did have hair dryers and coffee in the rooms. Our second night we returned from dinner... more

We will almost certainly stay there again, the food was superb and the service excellent. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the overall ambience of... more

We stayed at the Rothay Garden for 4 nights last week and had a great time celebrating our wedding anniversary. The food was superb with a wide choice all beautifully presented, and the staff were friendly and efficient. There was an excellent choice of wine with some very reasonably priced 'specials' which were extremely good. We had one of the... more

My wife and I have just spent 2 days B&B in the Rothay. Our room had a view of stream from side window and Hotel gardens from front window. The room & hotel was very clean and the staff were generally attentive. There were a wide selection of meals available at breakfast on top of the usual continental options. The... more

Room good and a comfortable bed but watch the step if you want to go to the bathroom in the night. Bathroom carpet very very heavily stained - yuck. Dinner pricey at £33 and the menu didnot inspire us to try it. Too many 'jus' and not enough plain language. Do people still eat farmed Sea bass - its a... more
