A gem of an hotel which, I would suppose, most people would just drive past? Situated at the east end of Rydal Water, an almost continuous flowing lake, easy access to which is just across the, not too busy, A591, west of Ambleside. Our stay was courtesy of a Groupon deal. On arrival, the owner greeted us and took us... More

Tired hotel in a good location definitely needs upgrading. Friendly staff but need to improve on customer service. Wore a dirty apron to serve breakfast, made no eye contact meaning it was difficult to make a request for a pot of tea or butter. Cooked breakfast was good though. Evening meal - help yourself to all cutlery in the bar... More

Stayed two nights through Groupon. Interesting and quirky hotel in a beautiful setting. Rothay room ample size, clean and comfortable. Staff really friendly and helpful. Food was delicious, well presented and of very high standard. Will stay again. More

As mentioned by previous posts, the badger bar was situated well near Rydal water, had a lovely outside aroma, but inside is a big disappoint. We ordered some food and, as mentioned by my sister in law, for how quickly it came out, it always worries you when that happens. The steak burger was more like T*sco Value burger, the... More

Me and my partner have just returned from a two night stay at the Glen Rothay Hotel which was bought through groupon. We paid extra to stay in the Rothay Suite which was lovely. It is a little old-fashioned but very clean and staff are extremely friendly and willing to help. It is in a nice area just outside the... More

We stayed here on the Groupon deal and it was worth every penny. Its a bit old fashioned but clean, very friendly, has a cosy pub, beer garden and good cheap food!

We stayed at this hotel on a Groupon deal. We were very disappointed, the hotel is very old fashioned with a horrible musty smell. The room was awful and filthy with stained carpets throughout. The food was disgusting and we were unable to eat any of the included 3 course meal. Luckily we had free passes to the gorgeous Langdale... More

We had 2 nights there from 27th March. It was both our birthdays, my partner on the following night. They baked her a cake! The meals were exellent, the staff, amost a show in entertainment and nothing was a problem for them. Location is perfect, just outside Ambleside and straight onto the better walks with Wordsworths cottage up behind the... More
