Rothay Garth is in a traditional slate building opposite a church & park where there is a putting green, a well maintained crazy golf & some tennis courts. I arrived in the dark and had the surprise of a fantastic view towards the Fairfield Horseshoe from my bedroom window next morning :) Good location away from the main streets of Ambleside, and shops, cafes, pubs & restaurants are only 5 minutes walk away. A car park is on site & the bus station is around the corner. The staff are very smiley, jolly & made me feel very welcome!

Richard, Norway

It is a lovely place to stay. The staff are very friendly. I like the way your room number is also your table number so you know where you are sitting each morning! The breakfast is well cooked, hot and has plenty of choice.

Su345, United Kingdom

Generous choice for breakfast. Crisp bed linen and good pillows.

Richard, United Kingdom

Fantastic hosts over the two days, who always had plenty of time to talk and were very enthusiastic. The room was fine and as advertised, we had the small double and it was fine for my wife and I. Breakfast was great and endless coffee. Located only a minute or two from the first cafe, restaurant, bus station, etc. Car parking was a bonus too. We're looking to relocate in the new year and we received lots of useful advice from mum and daughter team.

Phil, United Kingdom

we enjoyed our stay and the included breakfast was first class
