Lovely hotel, superb location, an absolute treat. Breakfast was plentiful & excellent quality, we received a complimentary room upgrade, made full use of the spa facilities - a godsend after a hard day walking! Lovely peaceful ambience and staff were very attentive.

Before we booked this Hotel I spoke to someone there who assured me my dietary requirements would be catered for, unfortunately this was not the case and I had to make do without breakfast cereal (which was even printed on the menu as being available), and a poor excuse for a cooked breakfast. It was not as if I turned up on the spur of the moment, the hotel had plenty of notice I was arriving. Expected more from a supposedly top end Hotel. Its not that difficult to order in gluten free food in this day and age. Disappointed.

Average stay- better offers in area
Booked a week before arriving- was called 5 times the day of booking to put a pre order and payment through for dinner on New Year’s Day. Was not made clear on third party website or owned website that this was the case. Food was good although some dishes were underwhelming. Service was good. Spa was ok- heated beds and aromatherapy room did not seem to be fully functioning. We feel it would benefit from better lighting in hot tub and more care. Hotel room had a leak in the night in two places. We understand that this is an old building and is part of a problem with this. Previous guests takeaway boxes were left out on balcony decking. Stay was ok but would not return as looks to be better offering in area.

Great Stay
We had a great stay. The hotel was lovely, as was the team that ran it. We enjoyed everything we ate. Our room had a view of the Fells and the sound of the river running by; we were able to sit on the veranda and enjoy a coffee to that sound and view. The spa was so relaxing, with a sauna were you add your own water with a wooden ladle, which is great for getting it to a heat of your choosing. Dog friendly (certain rooms). Located in beautiful Grasmere. Would recommend and stay again.

Rothay - becoming a favourite
We visit the lakes roughly once a month and this is becoming one of our winter favourites. Rooms are warm and cosy, staff are friendly and efficient, the hotel is well positioned for countless walks but just a short walk from Grasmere centre. The sauna and spa area are a lovely way to finish off from a day in the hills. Less pretentious (and expensive) than some of the hotels in the area, it’s still really comfortable
