The full story

About Rothay Manor Hotel

Rothay Manor Hotel occupies a Regency country house at Rothay Bridge, within easy walking distance of central Ambleside and close to the northern end of Windermere. The Grade II listed property combines period character with individually designed bedrooms, lounges and landscaped gardens, making it a strong base for couples who want a quieter stay without giving up access to Ambleside’s shops, restaurants and walking routes. Food is a major part of the proposition, with a modern fine-dining restaurant and a reputation that repeatedly places Rothay Manor in national Lake District hotel guides. Its central location also works well for exploring Rydal, Grasmere, Waterhead and the wider South Lakes by road or on foot.

Before you book: room types, dining times, spa access, pet policies, parking arrangements and package inclusions can change. Check the current property and Booking.com terms for your dates before travelling.
