Friendly welcome. Lovely comfortable room, cosy bathroom. Enjoyed evening meal in the bar, and good cooked breakfast in the morning. Seemed well-organised in terms of Covid precautions, without feeling restrictive. Easy to find, and short walk to Rydal Water.

CanadaFantastic food , friendly staff lovely room and badgers feeding at night !!
United KingdomThe breakfast was excellent and enjoyed! The location is great in between Ambleside and Grassmere.
United States of AmericaOld, quirky and plenty of charm. The badgers getting fed was worth seeing
United KingdomGlen Rothay was probably our favorite accommodation on our two-week UK and Ireland trip. It is located in the extraordinarily beautiful Lake District, and could not be more charming or friendly. Our spacious, well-appointed room had old-world charm with a state-of-the-art bathroom: a perfect combination! The breakfast and dinner were delicious, and we especially enjoyed relaxing at the Badger Bar, the on-premises pub (and yes, we did see badgers). The inn is outside of Ambleside with gorgeous hikes and walks right out your door. I can't wait to stay here again.
United States of AmericaViews were amazing, staff are friendly and evening meal and breakfast were really good
