Rothay and away …..
this is our 4th stay at Rothay and it remains one of our favourites in the lakes. in winter it’s great to cosy up after a long walk in the garden spa, and the rooms and ambience is really comfortable without any pretentious swagger for which some of the other hotels in the area would charge you £100 per night more. breakfast is good quality and staff are friendly and efficient

8/10 Very good

We were upgraded to a better room so that was really nice. Room up on 2nd floor and without a lift just as well we could carry our own luggage. Room very comfortable, although we noticed that the bathroom radiator didn't work. Shower excellent. All very clean with nice tea/coffee making facilities. Breakfast very good with a good variety of choices. We ate in the restaurant in the evening once. Food nicely prepared and served well. Our biggest gripe is having to pay to park in the hotel car park. This is the first time we've encountered this and were very surprised by this. Additionally they charge Service Charge on every drink or meal. It didn't matter to us, but we overheard a few complaints about this.

Excellent stay
A brilliant find in a unique and chilled out location. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and flexible. The property has clearly had an excellent refurbishment. Nice spa. Couldn't fault our stay at all.

Wonderful hotel and facilities
Excellent hotel with great facilities, the free use of the spa was a bonus and perhaps needs to be highlighted a bit more? Dinner and breakfast were both excellent and super service. High recommended

10/10 Exceptional

Peaceful and comfortable
We only stayed one night but found the hotel delightful. We had stayed before but it was approaching 20 years ago. It was good then, but has been improved with well appointed rooms and a new conservatory restaurant overlooking the gardens which are alongside the River Rothay. Dinner was excellent and breakfast was of a good standard too.

4/10 Fair

The ‘deluxe’ room was not what we expected. We had issues to be sorted from the minute we arrived in our room. Needed to ask for an extra table lamp in order to use the desk in a dark corner. Toilet was permanently flushing causing noise and wasting water. Television needed connecting properly so no television for our first evening. Bathroom was very grubby. Wash hand basin tap came off showering the whole bathroom. Noise during night sounding like a pump which disturbed our sleep. Finally, not impressed with breakfasts. Had to ask for bananas each day. Had to ask for honey. Choices were very limited.

6/10 Good

As a regular in the Lake District, my husband and I decided to stay at Rothay Gardens. Check in was functional but not particularly welcoming. Not informed of vip credit until departure. The room was clean and tidy, furniture tired and the room was small. I would suggest that the compulsory service charge is just put in the price of drinks and food. Overall, a functional stay, but would stay elsewhere in the future. were I felt my stay was better value and customer service was of a greater standard
