Excellent hotel

Lovely stay at Rothay Garden. The hotel is well maintained with lovely grounds, the room was clean and with a very good shower. But what really stood out was the great service, with very courteous staff. Excellent place to stay in Grasmere

Expensive rooms and pay to park on top

The accommodation was expensive and then you are charged £10 per night to park when they cannot guarantee space in their small shingle car park. I thought that a shabby and grabbing change since the hotel buy out. By comparrison Grand at Grasmere is newer, slick, clean and cheaper. Great views of lake, car park marked out, and free. Will book there in future.
Tracey, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location and amenities, strange breakfast, peas with poached eggs? We’ve been a few times now and there has been a recent change of hands. Highly recommended, but please look at the breakfast menu!

Great last minute booking

Fantastic hotel, spotlessly clean, great breakfast in beautiful surroundings. Last minute booking at a great price, staff friendly. Just to note there was a £10 parking charge which i didnt see mentioned in the booking

Nice lodge but poor service

Nice spacious lodge with comfortable beds - although connected to another and noisy when neighbours watching tv, in bathroomnetc. Bad service and quite rude staff on check in sadly. Hotels.com confirmed breakfast included on chat but hotel said it wasn't - went up the road to the swan for breakfast and dinner which was fabulous with friendly service. Good location for grasmere though - although even as resident parking charge was £10!

8/10 Very good

Mostly great

Hotel is lovely and the spa is fab, great location and the staff were lovely. The food was mostly good however the portion size for our evening meal was a joke, absolutely tiny, and the breakfast wasn’t great either, the sausages and bacon had obviously been pre-cooked and hanging around for a while and dried out. The music in the restaurant was absolutely awful, terrible covers of songs. In short, I would definitely stay at the hotel again but won’t eat at the restaurant again sunless they improve it. The jumble room down the road was incredible

Weekend away

Comfortable nights sleep, the food was excellent, high quality ingredients and cooked beautifully. Only 2 things that where bit of issue was £10 a day parking at hotel, which was extra think for the money you pay to stay, it should be included. The hotel spa wasn’t working due to refurbishment but didn’t know about it until we arrived .

10/10 Exceptional

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
Roger, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The spa facilities were a real highlight—so relaxing and luxurious. The food was absolutely superb, with a high-end dining experience that exceeded expectations. The location was perfect, offering easy access to nearby attractions. Overall, it was a really nice experience, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch stay.
