We had a really lovely stay for 2 nights at Rothay Garden. We booked dinner on the first night which was high quality. The views over the garden from the restaurant were really relaxing. We booked a luxury room which was really clean and spacious and had a terrace.

A beautiful property with everything you need. The spa was very small but we ended up being the only two people in there from 18:30 till 20:00. The dinner was delicious and breakfast was lovely. The staff were attentive and helpful. A really lovely last minute getaway.

Expensive rooms and pay to park on top

The accommodation was expensive and then you are charged £10 per night to park when they cannot guarantee space in their small shingle car park. I thought that a shabby and grabbing change since the hotel buy out. By comparrison Grand at Grasmere is newer, slick, clean and cheaper. Great views of lake, car park marked out, and free. Will book there in future.

Excellent hotel

Lovely stay at Rothay Garden. The hotel is well maintained with lovely grounds, the room was clean and with a very good shower. But what really stood out was the great service, with very courteous staff. Excellent place to stay in Grasmere

Beautiful quiet property with lovely, friendly staff. The evening meal and breakfast were superb. The room was large, very comfortable and had a lovely patio overlooking the river. The hotel grounds were immaculate and had beautiful views of the hills. It was an easy walk into the town and there were lots of great walks from the door.

Nice lodge but poor service

Nice spacious lodge with comfortable beds - although connected to another and noisy when neighbours watching tv, in bathroomnetc. Bad service and quite rude staff on check in sadly. Hotels.com confirmed breakfast included on chat but hotel said it wasn't - went up the road to the swan for breakfast and dinner which was fabulous with friendly service. Good location for grasmere though - although even as resident parking charge was £10!
