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.

We are very short of staff but we will be open for lunch and evening meals. Our menu will be shortened and we may not be able to take very many food orders, so it is first come, first served. We are trying our best, but the dreaded “Ping” has struck over half of our staff! Anyone want a job?

At last, something to feel positive about. The weather is warming up, the daffodils are emerging and most importantly, you will soon be able to buy a proper pint and travel beyond the end of your garden path. We are really looking forward to welcoming you back. Bookings are coming in fast now, including for our unique room-only offer from 12th April, and our B&B rooms are filling up for 17th May and beyond. We expect to be full right through the year now, so don't miss out, and make sure you book. See you soon!

Not quite the festive season we hoped for! We are still open for rooms and food. Please ring or email to reserve. If you have a booking already, please do check before travelling because we may be forced to close at short notice. Apart from that, Merry Christmas!

We all need a break in this strange year, and where better than the Lakes? We are now taking bookings to stay over the festive period, or book our delicious 3 course Christmas Dinner on the 25th. Details on the Christmas and Food pages

LAKE DISTRICT is TIER 2 We are pleased to re-open and would love to welcome you back for a bit of much needed seasonal cheer. As well as food and drink you can stay for B&B. Book in confidence - if we have to shut at short notice we will happily refund you. You can book B&B rooms for Christmas and New Year at the Badger Bar on our website, and further details will follow shortly. All customers must have a substantial meal and you cannot just buy drinks. A pint and a pack of crisps does not count, sorry ;) We will definitely be open at lunchtime and in the evening, with bookings recommended. To all our friends in Tier 3 areas, sorry not to see you, come and visit next year.

| Here we go again... We are closed from 10am Wednesday 4th November for at least 4 weeks. If you have booked a room directly with us within this period, please email us and we will be happy to either offer a refund or defer any deposit paid for a future visit. Any Booking.com bookings, please cancel via them, we cannot do this for you. If you have booked to dine with us on the 4th or after, we are sorry but we cannot now stay open for you. During lockdown we may not be able to answer the phone. Please email us for a quicker response. If the government had any competence, they would have had a two week lockdown in October, but because they are the most useless bunch in a very long time, they ignored advice, and we now have to shut for much longer, and more people will die. Thanks guys! info@theglenrothay.co.uk
