"As the 'Manor' part of its name suggests, this is not just a restaurant but a country house hotel – a Regency-era one to be specific, located on the edge of pretty Ambleside in the Lake District. The elegant dining room sports original shutters and cornicing alongside bold William Morris wallpaper and striking chandeliers. The cooking is precise, technically ambitious and visually impressive, while being underpinned by classical elements like the Bordelaise sauce with fillet of Cumbrian beef." - Michelin Inspector

"Ambleside, on the north end of Lake Windermere, is the setting for Rothay Manor, a Regency-era country house that’s been tastefully updated for the boutique-hotel era, retaining the period character that makes it distinctive while modernizing its facilities and comforts. Of particular note is the restaurant, which offers refined British dishes underpinned by classic techniques. The diversions, naturally, are focused on the outdoors, and include hands-on mushroom foraging tours and professionally guided walks." - Tablet Hotels

A wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel. It really is the most dog friendly hotel in which we’ve stayed. The dogs are as well catered for as the humans. Every aspect of the offering has been really well thought out. The staff are super friendly and the surroundings are lovely. Both the dinner and breakfast were superb and it was great our dog could join us in the special dog friendly room just off the main dining room. It’s beautifully decorated and we didn’t feel like second class citizens but equally the dogs were not going to disturb other diners. Lots of lovely walks near by and we will definitely stay again!

Was lucky enough to be given an afternoon tea voucher for my birthday.||The hotel is stunning, well looked after. The gardens were so nice and quite peaceful. Inside was beautifully decorated.||The lady on reception was lovely and friendly and took us into the bar area to wait for the gentleman to take us to our table. ||Once in the dinning area was asked if there was a table we would prefer to sit at. ||When taking our drinks order, the option was coffee or tea. My husband had tea but I ask for a glass of water. The waiter offered me a hot chocolate which I had. Know it was July and a warm Friday afternoon but it was the best hot chocolate.||Was asked if there was any allergies. Whilst it’s not an allergy we don’t like salmon. The waiter was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. We wasn’t rushed at any point.||The sandwiches were so nice. The bread was lovely and soft. The cake selection was great and so moorish.||Throughly enjoyed our afternoon at the Rothay Manor.|Would highly recommend.

Stunning from start to finish. Had one of the rooms with a hot tub and it was well worth it. The staff were super friendly, nothing too much for them. Breakfast was super and you could tell was fresh produce (small thing, would advise that toast should come as standard). Would happily recommend and stay again.

We had an incredible dinner at Rowan in Rothay Manor. The standout was the capered plaice beautifully cooked, buttery, and vibrant. The sides were perfect complements: Jersey potatoes and tender, charred broccolini that added just the right balance. The beetroot soup was silky, earthy, and full of depth. The only slight miss was the garden salad, which felt a bit ordinary compared to the rest of the meal. That said, the overall experience was exceptional easily one of the best ten meals I've ever had. Refined yet comforting, every dish felt like it was made with care and precision. Rowan is absolutely worth a visit if you're anywhere near Ambleside!

Had a perfect stay at the Rothay Manor Hotel. It was our first trip to Ambleside. The hotel is situated within easy walking distance of the town centre and you can easily access the boats that cruise up and down the lake; the weather was kind to us on the whole of our trip. ||Our room was lovely and the staff were excellent. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was tremendous, the food and service were exemplary. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Gloriously comfortable mattresses and large walk in showers make this hotel stand out from others near Windermere. Add on a stylish and competent restaurant and staff that exude warmth and civility and you have all the components of a great base for touring the Lake District. Opt for one of the new rooms in the garden extension for their spacious and modern decor. Dog owners might want to book a ground floor room with their small fenced off gardens. A five minute walk from the hectic centre of Ambleside. The large car park is a boon in high season. A place that has been designed for comfort.

This is a beautiful hotel that is super doggy friendly Our room was on the ground floor of the pavilion which also included a secure courtyard which the dogs could be outside in. The room was very well appointed with a huge and very comfortable bed. We had an afternoon tea which was lovely - amazing selection of teas and a great selection of sandwiches and cakes - definitely recommend. For your fury friends they are catered for in every way and are welcomed throughout most areas of the hotel - they can have breakfast with you in the morning (ours had a lovely sausage treat) and they are also welcome when eating in the restaurant in the evening. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent too - the raspberry soufflé was amazing! The staff are also amazing - they will do everything they can to enhance your stay - very attentive and assets to the hotel. Definitely recommend a stay and we will be going back too!

Another great stay at Rothay Manor. Fantastic breakfast and had two great meals in the restaurant. The cherry and chocolate mousse was a work of art! Great wine list. The staff are always so friendly and are such an asset to this lovely hotel. Also, we appreciate its proximity to Ambleside.
