It’s a constant challenge keeping on top of maintaining this fine old gem of a building. 400 years of Lakeland weather takes its toll! Most of our roof has now been re-slated, putting paid to the days of dashing round with buckets in every downpour, to catch the drips. We are always looking to upgrade the rooms and public areas, whilst keeping the character of the place intact. William Wordsworth, once our neighbour, would surely still recognise the historic interiors, whilst current visitors love the fine beers, fine food and fabulous staff.

The weather is warm, the trees are lush and green, the woodlands are carpeted with flowers, and the lambs are frolicking in the meadows. In short - its beautiful. And even better, on weekdays it is not overrun with tourists. We have a bit of a lull before the next school holidays, so have a look at our room prices on the website and grab a last minute bargain. Some rooms are almost half price! We hope to see you soon.

Our favourite month, when the Lakes is full of life and colour, with the promise of a glorious summer to come. The weather might not be perfect just yet, but the lush greenery, bluebell filled woodland and skipping lambs make up for it. Call in here for refreshing homemade food and the best local ales. We take table reservations but hold back most of our tables for walk-ins, so please do just call in, though perhaps don't turn up right at the end of food service or you may be disappointed.

Spring is our favourite season in the Lakes. The trees are lush and green, the lakes are sparkling in the sunshine and the lambs (and tourists) are full of the joys of life. The woods all around are filled with brilliant bluebell displays, complimented by delightful chirping birdsong. So what are you waiting for? Good food and real ales, and of course our friendly staff, await you here at the Glen Rothay and Badger Bar, ready to give you a warm welcome.

Spring is here. The blossom is out, the sun is warm (yes it does appear here occasionally!), the lambs are skipping in the fields and we are ready to welcome you to this most beautiful corner of England. Come and try one of our fabulous homemade pies or local real ales, sit in our beer garden, listen to the birds...

There is snow on the fells but down here in Rydal it is warm and sunny today. The daffodils are out, the lambs are frolicking in the fields, its almost like spring has finally arrived. Come and enjoy the beautiful Lake District before the Easter crowds descend!

It might be half term soon , but we are not very busy, so take advantage of the BIG room price drops and come and have a quiet few days in the Lakes. Cold and wintry outside, warm and cosy inside. We love our open fires!

Yes, we hardly dare to believe that the sun is about to make an appearance. The weather is looking promising for this week: very cold but also very sunny & clear. Proper winter weather. Come and say hello. We still have the mulled wine on & all the fires are roaring.

So we've done Christmas. What we really need now is more excessive consumption. And who are we to say no? We are open daily, and with the weather being a typical Lakes washout, why not warm yourselves up in front of our cosy real fires? New Year's eve food is served 5.30 to 8pm, some reservations still available. Free entry on the 31st, just come and have a tipple and welcome in the New Year. No rowdy entertainment though, just a charming country Inn with great beer and company. Just one or two rooms left if you want to stay on the 31st.
