Excellent stay

Stayed for 2 nights. Lovely hotel, ideal location. Arrived early and was able to leave the car at the hotel after checking with reception. There is a daily charge for parking, though if you're planning on just being in and around Grasmere it is reasonable compared to the public car parks. Check-in was smooth & trouble-free. A complimentary room upgrade with a large room on the top floor offering views over the fells. Room was spacious, warm and the bed very comfy. A large bathroom with double shower & bath perfect for after a days walking. I only had breakfast at the hotel which consisted of a generous selection of cereals, pastries, fruit, yoghurt, juices etc. Cooked food is ordered and brought to you. Again a generous selection. Only slight downside was the second morning it felt as though they were a bit busier than expected at that time; took 25 minutes to take my order and when it arrived it was luke warm at best; as if pre cooked and not kept hot. Which is a shame as the quality of the food is excellent. Unfortunately, I didnt get time to make use of the spa facilities. All of the staff were incredibly friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay and wouldnt hesitate to stay again or recommend to others.

Friendly, attentive staff. Tasty breakfast. Comfortable room, with complementary gin. Enjoyed spending time in the spa. Used our Expedia reward in the bar, relaxing in front of the fire. A great birthday getaway. Just a shame that they feel the need to charge for parking. Would certainly recommend Rothay Garden and hope to return in the future.

Great last minute booking

Fantastic hotel, spotlessly clean, great breakfast in beautiful surroundings. Last minute booking at a great price, staff friendly. Just to note there was a £10 parking charge which i didnt see mentioned in the booking

Great room and lovely spa. However one incredibly rude staff in the restaurant that made you feel like asking any question was insulting. For how expensive it is you don’t expect to be treated like that!

Mostly great

Hotel is lovely and the spa is fab, great location and the staff were lovely. The food was mostly good however the portion size for our evening meal was a joke, absolutely tiny, and the breakfast wasn’t great either, the sausages and bacon had obviously been pre-cooked and hanging around for a while and dried out. The music in the restaurant was absolutely awful, terrible covers of songs. In short, I would definitely stay at the hotel again but won’t eat at the restaurant again sunless they improve it. The jumble room down the road was incredible

Good hotel in great location for walking/cycling. Great breakfast choice ,reasonable evening meal as well but small portions. The only thing that really disappoints is they add gratuity to each drink you buy & to the evening meal…65p & 7.50 respectively. They have also started to charge £10 car parking.
