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.

We LOVED our stay here! Our room was the “Grand Room, 1 King Bed, Balcony, Garden View” in the newer building and the attention to detail was exceptional. Loved the large comfy bed, our cozy robes, the deep bathtub and accompanying luxury toiletries and bath soaking salts. The WiFi was fast and the staff members were fantastic. It was a close walk into town and close to everything you could want to explore in the Lakes District. Very cool how the hotel provides wellies (Hunter Boots) for guests to use on muddy walks. The only negative thing I could say is that there were these weird green lights on the roof that stayed on all night. I think they were safety lights maybe and it was too bright for me when sleeping (I am sensitive to that kind of thing). Other than that our stay was perfect and we would absolutely stay here again.

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.

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!
