  | About us Rothay Manor is an elegant Regency house built in 1825 as a private residence for a prosperous Liverpool merchant and still retains many original features. The house is a listed building and is set in attractive landscaped gardens a 1/4 mile from the head of Lake Windermere and a short walk from the centre of Ambleside. Fresh flowers and antiques give the feel of a welcoming private house and the lounges are ideal for relaxing over afternoon tea or pre-dinner drinks. Renowned for the comfortable, relaxed atmosphere and efficient yet unobtrusive service, the hotel has been personally managed by the Nixon family for 40 years. Mentioned in all the major guides, the hotel is one of only six establishments that has been listed in the Good Hotel Guide since it began. Both lounges have wi-fi access which is available to our guests free of charge. With 16 individually appointed bedrooms and 3 suites - 2 of which are in the grounds of the hotel, there is accommodation to suit all needs. Families are welcome with rooms and suites available, together with cots, highchairs, baby -listening and an excellent High Tea menu. Two bedrooms have been adapted for use by disabled guests earning the hotel a Category 2 listing in the National Accessible Scheme. Renowned for the excellent cuisine, the hotel restaurant has 1 AA Rosette. The varied menu is prepared and served with flair and imagination to the highest of standards, complemented by an extensive personally compiled wine list. A private Dining Room and Lounge are available for private parties and special occasions, and we offer a Gift Letter Service for that perfect gift. |
| Bedrooms Rothay Manor's 19 bedrooms have fully appointed en-suite bathrooms, all with bath and shower apart from the single room (the Gun Room) which has an en-suite shower room. All rooms have colour television, tea and coffee making facilities, radio and telephone. Every care has been taken in individually designing and furnishing each room in a comfortable, gracious style in keeping with the Manor's exacting standards. Standard Rooms are good sized rooms, with Double rooms having either a 5 ft or a 6ft bed, while Twin rooms have full size (3 ft) single beds. Superior Rooms are at the front of the hotel and have a balcony with a delightful view across the garden to Wansfell, except for Room 14, which has its own patio and garden. The rooms are comfortable and well-appointed and are generally more spacious than the standard rooms. Double rooms have a 6 ft bed. Wansfell Suite - a double-bedded suite with an open plan lounge and bedroom, with the bedroom having a 6ft double bed. The suite also has a newly refurbished bathroom; private terrace and parking. It can also accommodate families of 3 by using a small second room with a single bed; or a family of 4 by also converting a chair bed in the lounge. Loughrigg Suite - a two-bedroomed bungalow with 1 double and 1 twin-bedded room, separate sitting room, large bathroom, private terrace and parking. Ideal for families, disabled guests or those requiring more space. Can sleep up to 5 by using a small third room with a single bed. This third room can also be allocated to another suite so it is essential to mention when booking if this room is required. Or our most modern suite situated in the new wing: Fairfield Suite - a suite which can be either a double, with 6ft King-size bed or twin-bedded with 2 3ft singles; separate sitting area and a second small bedroom with two single beds (one of which is a bunk and reached by a short ladder). Ideal for families. (Bath robes are provided in all the suites) |    |
   | Restaurant Nowhere is the philosophy that 'if it is worth doing it is worth doing properly' more apparent than in the Manor's restaurant. At Rothay Manor, dining is treated as an experience to be savoured to the full. The menu is varied and meals are prepared and served to the highest of standards with flair and imagination. The Hotel is widely acclaimed in all the major guides for its culinary expertise, and has a personally compiled wine list with comprehensive coverage of all the wine regions of the world. The Dining Room itself is spacious with tables laid in a classical style. The relaxing atmosphere and view of the gardens make it the perfect setting for any meal - whether it be lunch, dinner or a private party. Service is efficient yet unobtrusive, which makes each and every visitor feel truly at ease. This element of personal concern perhaps explains that elusive quality, remarked upon by so many guests, which sets Rothay Manor in the class of a true Country House Hotel. Rothay Manor is renowned for the excellent Afternoon Tea, with an Award of Excellence from the Tea Council and more recently being mentioned as one of the '50 Best Places for Afternoon Tea in the World' by the Guardian newspaper. Choose from a selection of savouries, cream cakes, tea breads, scones with jam and cream and more! The buffet-style tea can be enjoyed while relaxing in the comfort of either of the manor's lounges. Booking is advisable to avoid disappointment. Afternoon Tea makes an ideal treat for someone special - ask about our Gift Letter Service. Rothay Manor has 3 Stars & 1 Rosette from the AA and has been listed in the Good Food Guide for 38 years, as well as in all the major guides. Following the recent launch of the 'Scores on the Doors' web-based campaign allowing the general public to access information about hygiene inspections carried out by Environmental Health Officers, the hotel is delighted to be one of only seven businesses in South Lakeland awarded a 5 star (excellent) rating. |
