Why we love this property

Exquisite culinary escape
Modern European cuisine tempts diners in a garden-view restaurant. Complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast and 2 bars elevate this hotel's food scene.
Cosy sleep experience
Drift away in Egyptian cotton sheets, atop premium, hypo-allergenic bedding. Savour the rainfall shower and slip into a soft dressing gown afterwards.

I’m in love with this property and the staff. My husband and I both said it’s the loveliest Hotel we’ve ever been to. Every inch of the property is stunning. The owners thought of every detail, and then some. The staff were unbelievably amazing. Saying goodbye to them was hard to do. We had the most amazing meals on site by a tremendously talented chef. Look no further you want to stay at this amazing place.
Nicole, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

A few minor issues with the rooms at Rothay Manor. I would avoid this hotel if you have allergies as nearly every room and communal area is catered to dogs. Our first room had dog fur all over the bed and cushions. The daily cleanliness could be improved in the rooms and the communal areas. Unless you stay in the new Pavilion building, some of the other rooms are tired and dated. Staff are however very friendly and accommodating and the food is very good, but I would not class this hotel as a boutique hotel quite yet. Convenient location into town.

Top service and excellent food

All the staff were very knowledgeable and couldn’t do enough for you. All the food was excellent quality and would highly recommend going to the restaurant for dinner - the drinks were expertly served, and the food was some of the best meals we’ve ever had! Perfect setting for a relaxing and reset away.

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!

Property is excellent in its condition and ambiance. The staff are all very professional and courteous. Food is of a high quality. Wechave now stayed here several times over several years. We will be back.

Great location, clean and comfortable rooms, nice staff, high quality breakfast.
ANDREW, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Martin, 2-night trip
