very good breakfast
Good breakfast.
Comfortable large room with plenty of space, comfortable bed, warm shower. Really friendly staff who remembered our names (even though we only stayed one night), and a lovely breakfast. Fab location for exploring Ambleside.
Our room got quite hot in the night, but the tower fan provided was appreciated
The property was clean tidy and central. Food was excellent and the staff were lovely and friendly, and always there to support.
Nothing to note.
Everything
Good Breakfast, free parking, great location
Landed with a £25 fee for the dog for 1 night. Told it was all over booking.com advert, but it wasnt. It was hidden away in the 'Fine Print'
Firendly staff, good central location with parking, good breakfast. Spacious room.
For superior room, only a double bed & not the most comfortable. Nowhere to put toiletries in the bathroom & nowhere to hang a towel near the shower.
Location and friendly staff
Room no hooks lack of storage , and gardens could be do lovley bug neglected
Ideal location. Staff great. Varied breakfast options. Delicious. Great to have a communal lounge which we could use. Clean and tidy.
Room was clean and tidy but a bit cramped.
Very nice superior double room with nice colours and aesthetic.
Shower pressure was a bit iffy.
Thoroughly recommend and will return soon
Nothing
It was in a very good location close to centre
The dog charge was a bit much for one night
Comfy bed, great location and delicious breakfast
Only 1 hot chocolate for 2 people! So many wonky things (pictures, toilet roll holder) played havoc with my ocd!! Asked for avo with scrambled eggs which on the 2nd day was a problem!
Great location and the friendliest team who made us feel very welcome

Check in, Breakfast and staff were excellent!
Decor update
Ideal location in Ambleside. We had a great room overlooking the park. Enjoyed the breakfast snd the staff were friendly.
Good location close to the centre of Ambleside and opposite park. Small garden outside but large enough to sit in/walk dog. Everything was very clean and staff were very helpful and friendly - especially the young man on breakfast duties who was very enthusiastic and helpful. I appreciated the dog water bowl in the entrance hall and my dog particularly loved the dog treat bowl!! There was off road private parking which was particularly useful.
My only comment is that the double bed was smaller than we are used to but it was a normal size double bed. Next time I would book a twin room, only because we are used to a super king bed so anything less seems small. I would recommend Rothay Garth.

Location, friendliness of staff
Perfect location, free parking, very kind welcoming staff and at breakfast time is taken to know names before hand so very personable, I was recognised as been there before, in fact stayed three times, our lovely lady who never seems to age, you know who you are is such a delight, and it’s lovely to go back to see her to say hello! Breakfast is beautifully cooked as always, great place, locations and staff
Location, staff and breakfast
Excellent location, spacious and clean room with good facilities. Very friendly staff who remembered our dog’s name, cooked her breakfast and ask us personally how our stay had been. We will book again.
Loved location. Easy parking and breakfast choice great.
Shower temperature was inconsistent. Room very cold first day but second day very hot. Also can I suggest a larger shelf in bathroom for our toiletries also have to say last time we were there the grounds were really well kept. However it would not prevent us staying there again as we have in the past on many occasions.
Amazing Dog Friendly Accommodation🐶 Room 18 fabulously clean and very comfortable beds. Great facilities and location. Big well done to the amazing Manager and Staff make your Stay extra Special. Breakfast was excellent, lots of choice and produce so fresh, even cooked my Spencer 🐶 a big fat juicy sausage for breakfast in the room too😋 second time staying and looking forward to third stay in September.
可以免费停车很方便,早饭很不错。办理入住的男士还帮我们拎行李到房间,真的很感谢!
卫生间洗脸台太小了。房间的香薰味道很浓烈,不太喜欢这个味道。
really nice, clean and everyone was friendly. Really well positioned couldn’t fault it.
Nothing really.
Everything fantastic
Nothing
The bed was comfortable , breakfast quality and service was good
The gardens were unkempt , uninviting. On a very hot night air conditioning would have made sleeping more comfortable . Ill fitting curtains with little butterfly clips to close them . The ceiling / wall in the reception area had crumbling plaster . The hessian carpet in the breakfast room was dirty .
Staff and food
The staff was very friendly, and the room and dining room were beautiful, with each table numbered with the room number. The breakfast was very tasty, and there were options. It was a walkway from the Roman Fort, there is a nice park in frontand good restaurants nearby. The garden is marvelous, and so is the living room.
The shower is not easy to use, and the room was a bit cold at night.
Set in a perfect location just on the edge of Ambleside and a ten minute walk to Lake Windermere. Nicely decorated traditional building. Comfy beds. Everything very clean. Hot and cold drinks in room. Good choice of breakfasts hot and cold. All nicely cooked. Joanna was very welcoming and her hospitality was wonderful. Parking on-site. Lots of nearby eateries and things to do.

Virkelig hyggeligt gammelt hotel. Ekstremt venligt personale som gør alt for at give den bedste oplevelse. Super lokation i ambleside
Lidt en svag lugt af “gammelt” hotel. Dog ikke noget man ikke kan leve med
Clean good location, good breakfast
double bed mattresses and creaking bed
Nice room and fabulous location
Nothing
Location was central and Joanna the host was outstanding. She was attentive made sure everything was ok and was such a sweet woman. Definitely returning next year
Don’t like to give any negative feedback back but our bathroom should have been a shower room I struggled to use the sink in the morning. Only an idea to them to make this room a shower and toilet room.
Rothay Garth is well located in Ambleside, in easy reach of the town shops, bars, restaurants etc, and a great base from which to explore Lake Windermere area and beyond. Set in mature gardens with ample parking, outdoor seating and other guest areas, the building is old but perfectly comfortable, in a quiet location with little traffic noise. Our room number 2 was on the second floor, had ample storage and ventilation, a comfortable bed, and en-suite bath with shower over. There was a good choice of hot and cold breakfast included, and service was good. Walkers and Cyclists (and dogs) are welcomed.
We had the same table for breakfast for the 5 days we were there, and this was in a corner so we were unable to appreciate the views from the adjoining conservatory.
Excellent location. Staff attentive Room comfortable Breakfast fabulous
Creaky floor boards.
All staff were very friendly and helpful We had a wee dog with us and it was great to have dog friendly accommodation in a great location
room was clean and well presented breakfast was excellent with a good choice of food and the staff were great.
all was good .
Just come back from a 3 night stay and can't praise it enough. There's was a friendly welcome, the room we stayed in was spacious and clean and we gad a view of the park. Location was good only a 2 minute walk into the village. Alk the staff we lovely,friendly and helpful. We will be going back again.
スタッフが親切で、ロケーションも良く、コスパが良い宿と思います。
部屋がイメージとちょっと違いました。(写真をみて、ハードルを上げすぎたかも)
Good location, nice room and lovely breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Great welcome as we arrived after hours and someone was there. The beds were the best beds we have slept in,in any hotel all over the world and the bed sheets were perfect. The breakfast was incredible.
The Guest House was in need of some refurbishment, especially the bedrooms and outside garden area.
Garden area very overgrown and unkept,outside seating area unusable and a shame because the guest house situated in a lovely area, and the weather was superb for sitting out. Bathroom in need of tyding up, floor area tiles realy bad and badly sealed. Breakfast full english cold on arrival, hard poached eggs, a slice of black pudding cut in half, small spoonful of beans cold, shared dining table, far to small for 4 people.
Location was spot on. Breakfast was very nice.
Some areas particularly outside were a bit unkept. Needing a lick of paint or the grass cutting.
Location was perfect, so near to everything and beautiful open views across sports fields towards the church and mountains. Very welcoming reception staff.....who remembered our names throughout our stay. Excellent choice and quality of Breakfast.
The room is spacious. Breakfast is great. Staff super friendly.
Excellent location

colazione davvero buona
camera piccola, finestra non gestibile e tenda rotta, staff cortese, ma freddino, regole di casa troppo rigide assenza di una stanza comune per il dopocena, o meglio, c'era, ma la chiudevano
Location was excellent. Breakfast was really well presented and very good quality and portion size. Our room was a doggy room and more like a suite .. huge!
Nothing everything was wonderful
Nice and relaxed,great location,friendly and helpful staff.Superb breakfast.
Very friendly staff. Excellent breakfast. The room was clean and comfortable.
The breakfast was great, the room was clean and tidy ,the staff were amazing,the location is a minutes walk into the centre of Ambleside, and a minutes walk to the main bus stops ,that take you all over the lake district.
Everything was great.
We have stayed before and once again we enjoyed a delightful stay in a perfect location
Lovely room very clean we had to leave before breakfast and they made us sausage and bacon sandwiches and fruit to take with us which they didn't have to do. Very accommodating
Nothing
Perfect location and good sized room

Liked the fact that we had our own entrance, it was much easier with the dog. Room was big. Nice to have a settee. Shower was good. Nice towels. Breakfast was lovely. Even had gluten free sausages and hash browns which was a treat for me. Lady taking orders for breakfast wax lovely. Great position in the town.
Bed was a little hard but I realised that is a personal preference. Check-in took a long time as everyone arrived at once.
The service was second to none. Like good service used to be. Breakfast was excellent. Chosen for the location and that was perfect.
No aircon- but then we were visiting in a serious heatwave and they did provide a powerful fan 😎
Breakfast was good, and plentiful.
The room was not well set out - the hanging chair serves no purpose - indeed gets in the way of the space in the room
Sehr nettes Personal, tolle Lage. Man ist in wenigen Minuten im Zentrum von Ambleside.
Personnel accueillant et attentif, lieu magnifique
Amazing location with a guaranteed parking space, and a clean and safe room. Most importantly, the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast in the morning was lovely and the hotel itself was well appointed and looked after. Considering the price, it is overall exceptional value and I would stay again.
Nothing.
Staff was very friendly and helpful and it was in a nice area

A lovely find for our overnight stay. Handy for Ambleside and off road parking. Room was clean and comfortable and breakfast delicious with plenty of choice. Friendly host and we will be back.

Great location & Joanne was superb
Only smoked salmon offered as fish for breakfast
Checking in was a breeze and we were made to feel very welcome.The beds were comfortable and breakfast lovely.
Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was excellent. Great location for walking into Ambleside
The welcome and briefing provided by Joanna was very good and set the stay off well. Room 12 had a newly fitted bathroom which was very good, great shower and bath.
The garden gives a poor impression. The hotel signs are obscured by foliage, lawns need cutting, paths are covered with moss, weeds and litter.
BREAKFAST WAS EXCELLENT STAFF VERY ACCOMMODATING AND POLITE
ALL GOOD
Great breakfast ,good location and nice room
Outside garden area needed upkeep
Noisy dated room
Parking on site,great breakfast included, excellent location.
Grounds/garden needed a little TLC.
Great location, comfortable and made to feel very welcome. Very well organised, fantastic breakfast, relaxing and would definitely stay here again.
Warm welcome on check in
Exterior, common areas and bedrooms all in need of a refresh.
Breakfast was excellent.
A lovely warm welcome from Victor and this continued throughout. Brilliant location in centre of Ambleside and bonus of off road parking. Rooms were lovely and breakfast excellent. Everywhere was spotless and staff on hand if needed.
Locality
Stísněný pokoj
Location was perfect. Bed sheets and towels were clean.
Breakfast was mediocre. I had a dirty wax melt holder in my room with old wax in it. I was berated by the receptionist for bringing it to her attention the day after we arrived. I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to have candles where paying guests are staying. I didn’t want it back in my room but it was returned any way. The whole place needs a deep clean.
Localização excelente no centro da cidade, a acomodação fica a poucos minutos de caminhadas dos principais pontos de interesse. Estacionamento disponível, sem dificuldade para utilizar. Joana foi muito atenciosa e agradável! Café da manhã delicioso! Quartos muito amplos e confortáveis. Chuveiro com boa vazão.
Gostei de tudo.
The staff were so lovely and made us feel very welcome, the room was comfortable and the showier was great. Breakfast was really good as well, they had a variety of options. We would stay again, definitely.
There’s nothing we didn’t like about this place. The blind was a bit difficult to navigate but nothing was bad about the place at all. Would recommend staying here if you’re travelling to Ambleside.
Location was excellent. Short 1 minute walk to town. Free on-site parking was an added bonus. Staff super friendly and very welcoming.

מיטה קטנה, מזרון פחות נוח
Staff very friendly and helpful. There were lots of options for breakfast, it was lovely and plenty, All our choices were tasty, and hot and well presented. The beds were very comfy.
The staff were very friendly especially Victor. The walk in shower was excellent.
That we were only there for 3 nights, we would have loved to stay longer. It could do with a bigger mirror in the room.
Great location, kindly arranged for a late check in, plenty for breakfast, nice fluffy towels, convenient parking.
Firstly would like to say that the staff were pleasant and welcoming. What needs to be said about the Rothay Garth is that there are two types of accommodation. We had a room in the unsightly extension which bears no resemblance to the rooms pictured on the website. The room experience was akin to staying in a caravan, very dark, with no view other than a very a very unkempt garden. Definitely not worth the money. Breakfast was average and the fact that the slice of black pudding was cut in half suggest that full cash is to be extracted from every guest. Would definitely not return.
Just had a very pleasant stay at the Rothay Garth hotel in Ambleside. The hotel is in a great location with plenty of on site parking. It is within walking distance of the town with lots of amenities, bars and restaurants. It is also ideally situated to take advantage of local walking trails. We received a warm welcome from Victor who was very pleasant, friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. A very pleasant stay and we would be happy to recommend and return in the future.
Perfekt breakfast, quiet environment
Bathroom door could not be shut. A five minute job for a carpenter with a plane
The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast very good
The outside of the building was very tired and the ruins were very small. The bathroom was tiny. I didn't like the sodding bathroom door.
Close proximity to everything we need to see. Great view from the rooms and great brkfst Being our anniversary they also supplied a bottle of Prosseco to celebrate.
No mini fridge for medical reasons.
Good sized family room with a double & single bed. Wardrobe, soft seats, tea making facilities - everything you'd need. Breakfast was hot & tasty with a nice variety. Well located for a walk around Ambleside.
Road was quite busy.
The staff were very friendly and the accommodation superb, breakfast was lovely and we had a great stay.
Beautiful hotel in a perfect location. Staff were so welcoming, friendly and professional. We will definitely go back there
Great location
Location and free parking rooms big enough and great breakfast
Very pleasant staff, excellent breakfast, very clean, excellent parking…which seems to be unusual in Ambleside….and a 5 minute walk to the centre of Ambleside and shops, restaurants, pubs etc
Husband said shower went hot and cold but I never had that problem. I think our room was very near water pipes as it could be a bit noisy during the day but there was no problem at night so we slept well
