"Generously sized bedrooms and excellent service."
Overview
Nestled in the heart of the Lake District, Rothay Manor Hotel is a charming Grade II listed country house, originally built in 1823 for a wealthy Liverpool merchant. Ideally located on the edge of Ambleside’s bustling town centre, it offers the perfect base for exploring the surrounding lakes and fells. Inside, guests will find a welcoming lounge, a cosy bar, and Rowan restaurant which serves a highly seasonal à la carte menu showcasing local produce. There’s also a practical boot room complete with a dog wash area, perfect after a day of walking. In winter, guests can relax by the roaring fires, while in warmer months, the sun terrace provides a peaceful spot to unwind. The bedrooms are elegant, comfortable, and thoughtfully furnished, blending classic charm with contemporary comfort. Both dog-friendly and accessible rooms are available.

About the area
Cumbria's rugged yet beautiful landscape is best known for the Lake District National Park that sits within its boundaries. It’s famous for Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, and Derwent Water, ‘Queen of the English Lakes', but other lesser-known areas in the south, such as the Lune Valley and the coastal towns, are secret gems of wide cobbled streets and rolling hills.
