““The staff are friendly, the facilities are great””

I am a regular visitor, and have never had a bad experience. The staff are friendly, the facilities are great, its a really nice independent country hotel in a great location by Rydal Water.

““Highly recommended in every respect.””

Super friendly staff. When I called at very short notice to see if we could stay with our dog for a single night one of the team made the necessary arrangements for us in Daffodil cottage which was very much appreciated. The cottage was excellent, the bed was super comfy and the spacious bathroom so good - plenty of shelves and hooks - other hotels could learn from this! Highly recommended in every respect.

““The badgers in the grounds are a real bonus. ””

Lovely old pub, beautifully situated for a stunning and easy walk around Rydal Water and in to Grasmere. Comfortable rooms, good 😊 food and atmosphere. The badgers in the grounds are a real bonus.

““Our first time staying at Glen Rothay sealed the deal for us…””

Our first time staying at Glen Rothay sealed the deal for us - we had to return! But being from the United States we weren’t hopeful. But we were going to be in London and had to extend our holiday to stay at Glen Rothay. We are so happy we did to be able to enjoy the fall colors and relax at Glen Rothay.

““Real ale fans will love the four hand pumps on the bar””

A warm welcome from the friendly staff, who were delightful throughout our 2-day stay, particularly the young man who looked after us at breakfast. Real ale fans will love the four hand pumps on the bar.
