We are pleased to offer the services of three excellent local therapists providing a variety of massages, facials & sports physiotherapy.

amazing hotel in good location
lovely hotel made to feel very welcome as soon as you enter. Food first class in restaurant lovely evening meal and breakfast.
spa excellent we stayed in suite in loft lovely and quiet
Lovely stay at this very well positioned hotel.
The staff were lovely and the food great but we were very disappointed that the spa wasn t working for the whole of our three night stay.
Lovely relaxing stay
From the moment we entered the hotel, we were made to feel welcome. Reception staff were excellent, our room was spacious and well appointed and the restaurant served delicious food - the breakfast menu was extensive and the dinner menu had different dishes each night - all of which were delicious. The location is excellent, being only a few minutes walk from Grasmere, with all its quirky gift shops and cafes. Ambleside is a short drive away so, again, a great location. To sum up, I would say that our short break at Rothay was great and I would have no hesitation in recommending it.
Great couples break
Lovely hotel, very friendly staff. The restaurant is very welcoming and the food and wine is of a very high standard.
A lovely impromptu break...
We recently spent an extremely enjoyable night at Rothay Garden Hotel. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, the facilities at the hotel are excellent, the room was well appointed and spotless and the food was superb! We will definitely be going back!
Rothay Garden Hotel
Just returned from 2night stay at Rothay Garden celebrating my partners 50th birthday. Hotel & surroundings were beautiful. Our room was lovely, food was outstanding and staff couldn't do enough for us. Hotel situated in such a peaceful location. After hiking up Helvellyn it was lovely to come back and relax in the spa. We will most certainly be returning.
80th.birthday week-end at Rothay Garden Hotel.
A family get-together which included 2 young children was a huge success at this very child friendly hotel. The staff were very friendly and pleasant and exceedingly helpful-but it ended too soon!
We hope to return in the autumn.
