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.

So disappointed with my booking through ******* for this hotel. I searched for 4* hotel/pool/spa, read the reviews then booked. Only once I had paid was I messaged by the hotel to say that the pool/spa won't be open at all during my stay. As this was the primary purpose during a winter break when bad weather is frequent I asked for my booking to be cancelled as it's been missold to me. ******* also contacted the hotel to request this for me but received an outright refusal. My only option now is to do a charge back on my credit card and advise others to check before you buy as things are not always as advertised. So disappointed as they could have resolved this and secured my business repeatedly in the future.

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 👍

Great location, high quality food but expensive
This hotel is within walking distance of Ambleside and also walks to the lake which is very pretty.
The room was beautifully furnished the only downside was it was located so close to the road that as soon as the traffic started at 5am I was woken up. It had a little patio but again as it was right by the road it wasnt really somewhere I would have sat out. We had the taster menu which was superb although It is very expensive, our biill for the meal, a drink before and the wine flight for 1 and a bottle of wine came to £358.00. The service was excellent and the breakfast exceptional. Do I think the cost of £570 for one night dinner bed and breakfast was worth it?, perhaps for a special occasion but I would want a different room if staying again.

Poor value for money
The room didn’t correspond to the price or star rating of the hotel; nowhere to put the suitcases other than middle of the floor and impossible to open windows on the middle of a road literally only a few metres away.
This is not 4 star accommodation and certainly not worthy of (well) over £200 per night.
It’s a shame as the hotel is pretty and probably has nice rooms; ours was shamefully overpriced in terms of value for money.
The breakfast was very good and varied, but dinner was very limited in choice and the imposed service charge not appreciated.

Great Place for Couples to enjoy a special weekend
This is the third time we have stayed at the Rothay Manor and we were not disappointed. The whole experience from beginning to end was delightful. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfasts and the evening dining was a joy (word of caution - not really suitable for those who expect a large serving of meat and two veg followed by pud as the menu reflects the creative flair of the celebrity chef and is a whole facinating dining experience in itself). Friendly staff do their best to make the visit special. We will be back!
