    No complaints. It was all lovely. Only suggestion would be to remove the grandfather clock. As beautiful as it looked, the hourly chimes were not hugely appreciated at 7am!

    Our room was absolutely beautiful. There was a balcony with stunning views of the garden, fresh milk for tea and coffee, complementary chocolates and the world’s comfiest bed. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We ate in the restaurant once which was delicious but expensive.

    Coat hook missing off the back of suite door. No spa etc makes price point high. Would have liked an evening turn down service with towels and milk checked.

    Fantastic food !! High quality fittimgs with exceptionally comfortable mattress and friendly attentive staff. Quality throughout.

    The hotel was in an ideal location , just steps from the centre of Ambleside town centre but with plenty of free parking and EV charge points. We were delighted that the rooms had been recently refurbished, and the whole hotel was modern and tastefully decorated. The evening meal was outstanding. Everything exceeded our expectations. A perfect venue for our celebration.

    Nothing!

    We spent three nights here in mid March, we booked the suite with the hot tub. This room is in the new pavilion across a courtyard from the main building. The room was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed (huge bed! Two showers and sinks! Big bath, fridge, safe). The room has a huge wrap around courtyard, with floor to ceiling windows. The hot tub was a real treat and was ready to use when we checked in. Breakfast was lovely with lots of options. We had the set menu one evening, we enjoyed the experience but too rich to have each night imho so we ate out. The bar and restaurant are very comfortable, two lounges in the main house and a smaller lounge in the pavilion. You can hear traffic noise when outside but not inside. The location is good for exploring the area, lots of parking on site, Ambleside is walking distance away. Lots of thoughtful touches in the room and elsewhere, umbrellas available and a boot room.

    The all day food menu was a bit limited and I felt they were trying to push you to have the 3 course a la carte menu.

    Room was great - perfect if you have a dog as it has a small private patio. They went out of their way to make a fuss of our dog which was appreciated. Facilities were good as was breakfast.

    Nothing at all

    Originally we had booked to stay in Windermere after a walking trip with friends. But due to the severe weather on Saturday we ended up stranded in Ambleside. And was looking to find a bed for the night anywhere really. And luckily they had one at Rothay manor. What a beautiful hotel. The rooms are stunning all the staff went above and beyond. There was a boot room to dry all our wet boots and jackets and the breakfast was excellent. I will definitely be returning with my wife to rothay manor in the near future to stay for much longer than an evening
