Based on a review on Tripadvisor, my mom and I went for afternoon tea at the Rothay Manor Hotel. I have been to many places for afternoon tea but this was probably the poorest. The buffet with sandwiches was a tray with sandwiches on the side scruffily covered with cling film, a few unappealing slices of pork pie on a... More

My wife and I were driving from Southwest London to stay with friends near Melrose in the Scottish Borders and did not feel like doing the journey in one. We had stayed in Ambleside before and chose to book a night at the Rothay Manor. We were shown to a very comfortable and well-appointed ground floor room. The bathroom was... More

Arrived to a warm, efficient welcome on Friday for a weekend stay. We were shown to our lovely, quiet, ground floor classic room at the front of the hotel overlooking the garden. Very comfortable bed, large comfy armchairs, lots of space, massive fluffy towels and lots of extras. Decor is traditional but not old fashioned, everywhere is so comfortable that... More

This hotel has figured in every edition of the Good Hotel Guide since the inception of that publication and regularly lists highly on Trip Advisor reviews but on our second visit here it was becoming very apparent that there are better hotels in the Lake District for the prices that this hotel is charging. 18 months ago we said that...

This is a beautiful hotel in a prime location on the perimeter of Ambleside. We had a suite and it was very, very comfortable save for the fact that the bed was very low and as I suffer from arthritis I found it difficult to rise (not the hotels fault) The bathroom was beautifully appointed with superb toiletries. We had... More
