Rothay - becoming a favourite
We visit the lakes roughly once a month and this is becoming one of our winter favourites. Rooms are warm and cosy, staff are friendly and efficient, the hotel is well positioned for countless walks but just a short walk from Grasmere centre. The sauna and spa area are a lovely way to finish off from a day in the hills. Less pretentious (and expensive) than some of the hotels in the area, it’s still really comfortable

We had such an amazing stay I can’t reccomend this place more. The spa was so lovely and calming and the local town was just a walk away. We had breakfast which was the best ever and also ate in the restraunt in the evening and had steak, incredible! It was our honeymoon and they made us feel so special. Five star!
