Rothay Garden Hotel & Riverside Spa

Situated on the edge of picturesque Grasmere village, and nestling in two acres of riverside gardens surrounded by majestic fells, Rothay Garden is a perfect choice for a relaxing break in the Lake District. Rothay Garden provides the comfort, quality and peace and quiet that so many visitors to the Lake District look for. Owned and operated by Chris Carss and his dedicated team since 1990, the hotel has this year benefitted from a 3 million redevelopment programme. Today, the hotel's 30 beautiful bedrooms, including 12 gorgeous suites, are an ideal base for a perfect short break in The Lakes. The stylish Garden Restaurant overlooking the hotel's two acres of gardens, chic lounge bars, two AA-rosette awarded food and a delightful new Riverside Spa all combine to ensure that guests can have the short break or holiday that they deserve. And just outside the hotel, the renowned Lake District awaits - Grasmere really is the "jewel of the Lakes" and is, of course, centrally situated for Ambleside, Windermere, Keswick and Kendal. Poet William Wordsworth described Grasmere at "the loveliest spot that man hath ever known", and there's no doubt that the village is both the geographical and cultural centre of the Lake District, still personifying charm and "olde worlde" English heritage. Children over 5 are welcome to stay at the hotel. Please note the property does not have a lift. Pets are not accepted.
