Rothay Manor Hotel Restaurant in South Lakeland

Great rambling comfy quiet old place a short hike from Ambleside village and Windermere ferries.

This was our second visit. We had previously enjoyed our stay and so booked for a special family event. Positives first- Our rooms were fabulous and clean. The doggy shower room a great idea. Staff on arrival lovely, cleaning staff and maintenance staff polite and friendly. Although the furniture in the lounge area was a little tired, there genuinely seemed to be an effort to maintain and improve the hotel and grounds. Negatives- one or two waiting staff had a bit of a toxic attitude. We’ve eaten in top Michelin and other good restaurants around the globe and would not expect this. So much so we chose to eat out at other local restaurants after our first night. We were a party of mixed dietary requirements and found the Vegetarian/vegan choices were very limited especially if staying for a week. My meal was ok but spoiled by atmosphere created by waiter attitude. Not truely vegetarian/vegan. I opted for pancakes one breakfast with compote, no bacon. They were cooked in bacon fat. Waitress, instead of immediately trying to sort it out, lied to my face. Doggy friendly on the face of it. Only allowed in certain rooms, not in main restaurant. Fair enough but Bar restaurant/lounge area not serving meals or seats unavailable because main restaurant users waiting on their restaurant table becoming available (people appeared to be waiting quite a time). Felt a bit Faulty Towers. Would we choose to spend our money there in future?

Limited access at the back of the hotel. Staff are very friendly and welcoming.

We arrived at the hotel in the wrong door but the young lady couldn’t have been more friendly and personally showed us through and even took us a different way as it was raining. She was so lovely! Then we were met by Isaac, and he and the rest of the waiting staff were 5* - professional, knowledgeable, friendly, they were faultless. The food was beautiful, full of flavour and worth every penny . We have eaten at lots of fine dining and Michelin over the years and this was definitely up there . So much so that we are returning this evening !

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a hotel. The staff were extremely attentive and helpful. By day two you feel like the manor is your home. The place itself is gorgeous, the decor is elegant and every detail is impeccable. Would 100% recommend staying here, the customer service is unmatched and the ambiance is so calm.

We wanted a special meal for a celebration and were thrilled by the food and experience. Totally delicious! We'll be back.

Nicely surprised to be welcomed in French as French speaking guests. Quality of dinner and meal presentation were highly appreciated, perceived close to a one star Michelin. We discovered very interesting grapes types and enjoyed amazing wines. We spent a lovely evening at the Rothay Manor

We stayed here and our room was very good. We ate at the restaurant twice and the food is superb. The breakfast very good and the staff excellent

Stayed in the pavilion suite for 3 nights during June. The room was great, really nicely decorated & had everything we needed. Was a little bit hot, but that was managed in the evenings with the Dyson fan. The staff were fantastic, couldn't have been more helpful and polite. Also, arguably the most dog friendly hotel we've stayed in. Even in the restaurant they were accommodating of our dog.

We had a fabulous 2 night beak here with our cockapoo. Extremely dog friendly, the staff were super helpful and the food was incredible. Ambleside is great to walk through with some great shops.

It was a great experience at Rothay. I never felt so special before except a professional candle light dinner in Chandigarh organised by Celvi.

So you're headed to the Lake District, and you want to know where to stay. Simple, really: Stay at Rothay Manor in Ambleside. First, it's the perfect location, right in the center of the District, in a charming town that's just the right size (Windermere and Keswick being a bit too big, and Grasmere maybe too sleepy). Great walking trails originate at the hotel, and the Windermere lakefront park is a short walk away. And Ambleside centre is just a 10 minute stroll. Beyond location, Rothay Manor combines all the charm of an old English inn with important upgrades: modern bathrooms with stand-up rain shower, high-quality beds and linens, and walk-out balconies. And most of all, do dine here: they recently hired Chef Aaron, formerly of the Samling, who cooked us the best meal of our trip (which included a magnificent private chef, dinner at Forest Side, and at Oak in Bath). All this at frankly affordable pricing. Bravo to the new ownership--you're doing something special here. And to the great staff, especially Sam and Joe who were such fun and took great care of our family. We hope to come back soon. The Afflecks Quincy, MA USA

We enjoyed an incredible evening last night, 18 April 2024. From arriving at reception, to the bar area, then being seated, & served our meal - the staff were very attentive and helpful. Quiet and professional. They were polite, made conversation and smiled- attributes such as these really make all the difference to the customer. We didn’t feel rushed during the meal, and we could savour each plateful. The food was amazing. Each course was wonderfully presented, so neat. The flavours of the food matched the artful presentation. Cooked to perfection and so tasty. The accompanying sauces were loaded with intense flavour. We struggled to find a favourite dish as they were all so good. Thanks so much to all the staff, front & back of house, for the hard work that goes into providing such a special experience.

Besides the beautiful grounds and comfy rooms, I was most impressed by their restaurant. The service, presentation and of course the food were perfect. One of the best hotel restaurants I’ve visited. If I visit the Lake District again, I’ll stay at Rothay.

We had dinner here, and it was one of the nicest meals I have eaten in a restaurant, ever (and I don’t say that lightly). The staff were super friendly, and the vibe was great. The lamb starter was amazing, the steak main incredible, and finished with the best cheese board I’ve had. Both courses were super rich and tasty. Really recommend eating here, it is a little expensive compared to other restos in the area, but 1000% worth it and a very nice treat.

My husband and myself had 2 wonderful days here for our 41st wedding anniversary ,lovely room ,fantastic staff and the food was wonderful.

Afternoon Tea as a gift from my partner. Beautiful surroundings and settings and lovely food. Just a few things that could be improved. We weren't offered tap water, no offer to top up our teas and no menu or detail of what was on offer so we ordered a bit blind. Food preferences were handled well, but incorrect information was given when the tea was placed on the table. We also had to almost chase the server for the bill. He was incredibly polite and respectful though, just think there was not enough time for that level of service you would expect for an afternoon tea!

2nd visit to this fabulous place, 1st night of the Chef's new menu. We understand we may have been in the first few choose this. One word...Stunning. As on our previous visit,staff were fantastic and literally couldn't do enough to help. Will come yet again when time allows, very sincere thankyou to all involved, Steve and Sharon Fox

Without doubt one the best UK hotels I have ever stayed at. The attention to detail is 2nd to none. The staff are outstanding, the food delicious, the decor very tasteful. As air crew I stay in many hotel this is right up there. Well done. Will 100% be back

Fantastic hotel with excellent food and staff. Top notch meal for dinner and breakfast was excellent

We had dinner in the restaurant on the first night of our stay in the hotel. The food was incredible! This chef deserves the highest praise. There was a choice from four starters, four mains and four desserts. As usual in such fine dining places, it was interspersed with extra morsels of deliciousness! In the end, I think we had eaten, probably eight courses. The front of house team were amazing – professional, friendly, very knowledgeable about the dishes being served. The setting is really lovely with tables quite far apart, allowing privacy and space. There were many nooks and alcoves which added to the overall feeling of exclusivity

A disappointment. We were persuaded to have an extra supplement course as well as the set three courses plus amuse bouche, canapés, pre-desert etc., etc. It was a mistake. The evening was a whirlwind of rather unknown and rather tasteless plates. Unknown because as each plate was presented the staff used words that were inexplicably. After a while we realised that the plates had Japanese names. There was no warning of this on the menu nor the sample menu on the website. We like Japanese food, but not this. It was expensive at about £270, and that included little alcohol. Not impressed.

We had stayed overnight in the hotel but the restaurant was so good it deserves its own review ! Open fires to have a drink in front of before dinner . Brilliant amuse bouche , great wine list , we had a very decent and reasonably priced St Veran , and a fixed price menu . Delicious bread , good starters and then superb main dishes of hake and duck which were delivered with the heat of the pan still noticeable. Perhaps one of the best cheese boards I have ever enjoyed with a good understandable description of each , a brilliant dessert of vanilla honey and lemon , a glass of port , brandy and a really enjoyable evening in a beautiful dining room delivered by efficient and warm staff …. Thanks !

Second visit to this wonderful restaurant which has become our favourite. From the pre drink in the lounge by an open fire everything was perfect. We went for the full menu with wine pairings which were just delicious. Everything runs like clockwork. They called us a cab after so we could get home to hawkshead. Can’t wait to come back!

We had a lovely warm welcome at this fine dining restaurant. The dining room is spacious and comfortable. The service throughout was efficient but not overbearing and the food was as to be expected for 3 Rosette standard. Bread, home churned butter, scallops and duck main course were well prepared and presented.

Our first visit to Rothay Manor despite knowing the area well & visiting regularly for 35 years. We were staying a short distance away in Windermere for Christmas & wanted a special meal, just the 3 of us, 2 from Somerset & the other from Norfolk. Rothay Manor was our 1st choice. And how glad we were that we chose it. Everything was totally wonderful. A joyous experience. From the initial welcome to the final departure. I'm amazed this place hasn't got more Michelin recognition with the quality of food & service it's producing. And incredible value at £75 a head. Our wine waiter was extremely knowledgeable & we thoroughly enjoyed his suggestion of what to pair with our food. The menu is short but proves the rule that less is more. 4 starters, 4 mains, 3 desserts & a magnificient cheese board. Plus canapés & petit fours. Every single mouthful was perfection & a total treat for the eye. All our waiting staff were attentive & friendly without being overbearing & we felt they really cared about our experience. I have to add a couple of minor niggles, however not about the meal itself, and these could be easily addressed. Having never been to the hotel before, we parked & followed a sign to reception. However on rounding a corner, the signage vanished & we were left wondering where the restaurant was, given it was dark, with only a few lights, this was frustrating. After a couple of false turns we finally found the door, but please add some more signs for first time visitors! Finally, we had coffee after our meal in one of two lounges. Both were exceedingly uncomfortably hot, the radiators being too hot to touch! We had remarked on the temperature on arrival, whilst having a pre dinner aperitif. Just a minor niggle but.... Overall we had a blissful evening enjoying the most flavoursome food obviously created by a chef who loves his job, has a wonderful palate & an eye for exquisite presentation! We may just have to come back next year!!!!

They owners have done a lot with the place,the food was just pleasant nothing more nothing less. It could be so much more.

We booked in advance to dine for a Sunday Roast and we were not disappointed. Excellent service throughout our meal. The beef roast dinner was divine as were the deserts, sticky toffee pudding and a beautiful chocolate desert. It’s a dog friendly hotel so we will definitely be taking ours when we go back.

We had a very enjoyable dinner last night -the staff were very friendly , the food was tasty , well presented with a good choice of main courses ,with an orientalist course if you felt adventurous ( influenced by the chefs travels!)they were small portions ,which we expected, the scallop with a delicate sauce was yummy but we felt full after the courses but it had an extensive British cheese trolley if you had room left in your tummy !

It's nearly 2 years since we ate at Rothay Manor and it was AMAZING again. We had the extra course and cheese, an indulgent and wonderful meal with excellent wine. We've eaten here a few times and have always been bowled over by the food; the flavours, creativity and presentaion are out of this world. The service is perfect and the dining rooom a beautiful space. I said in my last review that we live in a city with many top resturants but this beats them all. Treat yourselves.

A meal to celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary, table booked for 7, no proper greeting, sat outside, waited 15 mins and had to call someone over to ask for a wine menu, whilst other tables were attended too, had to call someone over to get a menu, asked if our table was ready after 30 mins, "Ill check" and then disappeared eventually went inside as it started to rain, our 7pm booking a t a table at 7.41 A new bottle of wine was opened, but we said we already had one, not sure any one knew what was going on. Food was good, no problems there. We had to get up cross the dining room to help ourselves to our own wine. Offered a complimentary dessert wine, red was good, white was poor. First time ever in my life i have asked for the discretionary service charge to be taken off, if you are paying michelin star prices, expect a modicum of service level.

Don't go if you are Vegan or Vegetarian. We notified the restaurant when we booked that we needed a Vegan option, we first tried booking a Vegan tasting menu 2 days before arrival and were notified that wasn't sufficient time for the chef to prepare one. We then asked if there were vegan options on the menu and were assured that they would improvise. When we got to the restaurant the service was great but the options and attitude were not. The ONLY veg options for £75 was a garden salad and a main dish of beetroot with goats cheese They were just going to skip the cheese. They didn't have any other options and it was against their protocol to deviate from their menu. We could have happily ordered off the kids menu, but it was against their protocol to have happy well fed customers so we left. I googled vegetarian restaurants and had a FANTASTIC meal and service at Zeffirellis. I am sorry we are staying there tonight...I can only imagine what is going to happen at breakfast.

It’s easy to review this restaurant - the food was simply superb when we visited. There is a chef in the kitchen who knows how to combine flavours. Don’t look at the ingredients of a meal (you might not like one or more of them), just taste the combination! Only one very slight downside - we felt the staff were a bit too keen to up sell extra bottles of wine or water etc. Overall, excellent food and we will return next time we are in Ambleside.

We had the tasting menu with matching wines and both agreed that it was the best food we had eaten for a very long time. Each of the courses was memorable and the staff were wonderful and very informative. The only thing I would say is that the tasting menu has given the chef the latitude to follow his own influences so if Japanese style flavours are not your thing then stick to the A la Carte. As far as we're concerned, we loved it!

Food: 3/5 Service: 0/5 Value: 1/5 A triple AA Rosette restaurant. A chef who won Champion of Champions on the Great British Menu in 2021. Set in an old Manor House. A menu with less than ten dishes. The stakes are set for a glorious...

Delicious inventive food with great wine choices and amazing service. Fantastic value for money - would thoroughly recommend (we had the testing menu with matching wines)

The food in the restaurants was excellent, with fine dining at its best. Rothay Manor's very talented chef and waiting staff should receive a special mention, whose knowledge and professionalism were first-rate!

This was our favourite restaurant from our week stay in the Lake District. My wife and I had the tasting menus and loved everything. The desserts were really special. The waitress was also very entertaining. Most refreshing.

My wife and I had the tasting menu with paired wines. The food itself was fantastic and beautifully presented. Would highly recommend.

See my hotel review which sums up our stay here but suffice to say the staff are so helpful and friendly and the standards of cooking simply excellent.

Stayed for one night to include the tasting menu. On arrival there was no where to park as both car parks were full after the reception rang to say there were many spaces. There were other guests sitting in the carpark waiting with us for...

Amazing tasting menu and wine flight which was all perfectly timed between courses. The staff were great. The food was so so good !!

So glad we came back as our last visit a few years ago was quite ordinary, but this time the food was really good. It may be personal taste but we both thought a little more beef in the sandwich was needed and the blueberry/violet...

Beautiful hotel in the heart of Ambleside. Tasting menu was wondeful and the staff were so kind. They went out of their way for us. Highly recommend.

Excellent food and amazing unpretentious service with lots of added extras like pre desserts. My only slight criticism would be that the menu was very brief and I would have liked a veggie option for at least one of the courses. The cheese board was...

I'm a foodie and this food was as good as I've ever tasted. Service was very knowledgeable, efficient and warm.

Slow, expensive, had better pub foodWould not recommend, slow service, got wrong bill, complained and got more expensive bill. Annoyed with this place as feel if you pay >£200 for 2 people you deserve good food with excellent service. But was not the case.

We weren’t able to have the break away as planned to celebrate our anniversary, so we chose to go to Rothay manor of which we have always enjoyed. Tonight didn’t let us down, in fact it was even better. The service was impeccable and the food was outstanding, I can’t believe that every time we go here it can possibly be better than before it is always is. Well done to all the team

We had dinner at Rothay Manor as part of our Staycation and it was amazing. The restaurant is spacious and the new décor beautiful. It was hard to choose from the menu but if you can’t choose you can turn it into a “tasting menu” and have a couple of starters and mains along with many little extras and amazing canapes. Wine-pairing is also available if you can’t decide on the wine list. One night we did this and another night we chose from the wine list. Every element of the meals was perfect with some really innovative touches and everything was delicious with a big “wow” factor. For me eating a meal that I couldn’t dream of preparing myself with some elements that I’ve never tasted before is one of life’s joys. We’ve eaten at Rothay Manor several times, as residents and as non-residents and it has always been amazing. We have some Michelin star restaurants in our home town and Rothay Manor Restaurant is absolutely on a par with them. I love the use of local and regional ingredients (e.g. Herdwick lamb, Scottish Langoustines) and the blend of modern and classic techniques. Dan, the head chef is amazing and the owners and team equally passionate.

We booked for Sunday lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It didn’t disappoint, from the service through to a tasty roast! We are here for over three hours and had a lovely relaxing afternoon. The Sunday lunch was delicious - well cooked, seasoned and generous portions. I will definitely return when we are back in the area.

Pasé un fin de semana encantador en Rothay Manor y también la ventaja adicional fue el clima, fue genial sentarse en sus hermosos jardines bajo el sol y patio corriendo disfrutando de su estadía también. . todo el mundo tan servicial y amable el almuerzo del domingo fue excelente al igual que el desayuno y bailey también amaba su salchicha. muchas gracias a todo el maravilloso personal ya Craig. . por hacer de esta una estancia memorable.

¡Tuvimos una comida deliciosa y estamos ansiosos por volver a intentarlo! Nos quedamos impresionados con la comida. La presentación, el sabor y la emoción de cada plato son cada vez mejores. El plato langustine y el postre de melocotón fueron lo más destacado. ¡Incluso el pan estaba delicioso! El personal fue muy amable y cortés.

Nos estábamos quedando aquí y nuestra reserva para cenar en otro lugar había sido un desastre, así que teníamos el menú del bar aquí en el comedor más pequeño.Puede relajarse en la zona del bar con una bebida mientras pide su comida, luego se sienta en el comedor más relajado.Teníamos la hamburguesa / sándwich de pollo, muy bien cocinada, algunos sabores diferentes como mayonesa de chile y aguacate. Bastante agradable en general.Yo diría que necesitaba un condimento o salsa, ya que las patatas fritas estaban bastante secas al igual que la ensalada, pero no estaba mal.El ganador fue el pudín de caramelo pegajoso, que era una porción generosa, una buena salsa y una guarnición de crema cuajada. Diferente pero agradable.Creo que probaremos el menú de degustación a continuación.

Llegamos a las 7:55 para una reserva a las 8 pm. Para empezar, tomamos una copa en el salón y nuestro pedido fue tomado a las 8. 30. A las 8:50 tuvimos que preguntar si podíamos tomar nuestra mesa, a las 9:15 tuvimos que preguntar dónde estaba nuestro entrante, a las 9:30 tuvimos que preguntar nuevamente y hablar con el gerente. No se pidieron disculpas, sino que se les dijo con condescendencia que esto era "buena comida" y "la comida estaba preparada a pedido". ! ? ! Esperaría que mi comida se cocine a pedido en cualquier restaurante, y una buena mesa no significa tener que esperar horas para que se sirva la comida. Si reserva una mesa para 8, no espera comer su entrante a las 10.Podría haber sido mejor si la comida fuera excelente, pero lamentablemente otra decepción. El chef opta por el enfoque minimalista y cualquiera que haya visto MasterChef sabrá que si pones algunos ingredientes en el plato, será mejor que sean los mejores. Nuestros entrantes y platos principales fueron los platos más insípidos y sin sabor que hemos tenido.Para darles crédito, el postre de durazno estaba muy sabroso, pero ya era demasiado tarde para ese momento.Hay muchas mejores opciones para cenar en los lagos. Cualquiera debe ser mejor.

Vinimos aquí para cenar el jueves para terminar nuestro viaje a los lagos, teníamos el menú de degustación de 7 platos y fue divino (y terminó siendo alrededor de 12 platos teniendo en cuenta el amuse bouche y el pre-postre). Aunque tenía la intención de pedir los mismos platos en todo momento, muy amablemente dejaron que mi otra mitad pidiera carne para un par de platos, mientras que yo pedí pescado, ya que soy pescatariano y a él le encanta la carne, lo cual fue un buen toque para que no estuviera restringido por mis elecciones dietéticas. Confieso que soy quisquilloso con la comida (seré yo el que elija macarrones con queso, pizza margharita o pescado con patatas fritas), pero todos y cada uno de mis platos volvieron limpios y encontré cada plato delicioso. Tuvimos el menú de degustación en el restaurante de Michael Caines hace aproximadamente un año, que tiene una estrella Michelin y también estaba delicioso, pero nos costaría decidir si ese menú o este era mejor. Y fue una excelente relación calidad-precio para una comida tan maravillosa. En la situación actual nos sentimos muy seguros, es el primer lugar que he estado donde los vi usar desinfectante en la mesa correctamente (rociarlo, dejarlo para el tiempo de contacto, luego volver a limpiarlo después del tiempo correcto), así que nos sentimos muy seguros y es algo de lo que estoy muy consciente. ¡Definitivamente volveremos si regresamos a los lagos!

Recomiendo encarecidamente Rothay Manor. Decidimos reservar Rothay Manor como una comida especial durante nuestro tiempo en los lagos, y desde el momento en que entramos por la puerta, la experiencia fue fantástica. Optamos por el menú de degustación de 5 platos y, de hecho, nos obsequiaron con 5 platos adicionales en la parte superior, en forma de pre-entrantes, pan fresco y un limpiador de paletas antes del postre. Los 5 cursos en sí eran exquisitos y estaban muy bien presentados. El conejo y el rape eran especialmente buenos.El personal fue muy atento y muy informado sobre el menú que se ofrece. También notamos lo bien que atendían a huéspedes con diferentes necesidades dietéticas. Fue una experiencia acogedora, relajada y muy agradable, por un precio muy razonable. Un saludo extra para Greg, que estuvo muy atento de principio a fin.

Fui a tomar el té de la tarde con un vale. El servicio inicial parecía bueno con café y té entregados rápidamente y la comida entregada rápidamente. La comida también era genial en sí misma, especialmente los bollos.El hotel, aunque parecía un poco en mal estado y tenía muy poco personal. El camarero estaba ocupado y debe haber sido difícil para ellos, pero rara vez lo veíamos y cuando pedimos algo nos hicieron sentir como si estuviéramos siendo difíciles. No vimos a un miembro del personal durante 20/30 minutos a la vez, y tratar de pagar nos llevó toda la vida.Me imagino que como huésped del hotel sería encantador, pero según mi experiencia, no recomendaría ir solo para el té de la tarde. Un año antes, usando un vale similar (para un té de la tarde a un precio similar) fuimos a tomar el té de la tarde en un hotel de Windemere. Esto vino con una vista increíble del lago, una copa de champán e incluso la opción de usar la piscina. Me doy cuenta de que esto no es posible para Rothay Manor, pero ciertamente podría haber hecho más para brindar un buen servicio.Sin embargo, supongo que esto fue probablemente una excepción basada en otras críticas, tal vez fue un día ajetreado.

Cenamos aquí la primera noche ya que nos estábamos quedando en la mansión y nos encantó la comida. Elegimos 5 platos del menú de degustación a la carta y volveríamos aquí. Elegante y la comida se presentó bien. ¡Los cócteles también fueron geniales! Gracias por recibirnos. Saludos, Annabelle y George

Wedding anniversary dinner during one of the hottest weeks in the lakes, and during a pandemic. Hotel staff were all extremely professional and the entire evening we felt safe and could see that every possible aspect of protecting guests and staff had been thought about. The decor is beautiful and the dining room is so pretty - loved the candles! We went for the normal a la carte menu and were pleasantly surprised by how many little extras we were served too - yummy! Although fine dining usually involves very small portions (my husband says!) we were both full at the end of the meal! A fabulous place for a special treat and lovely, friendly (very unpretentious and helpful) staff.

My Wife and I booked a one nighter at the Rothay Manor to escape our 5 months of shielding.What a Treat ! They only re opened the day before we arrived but the pandemic measure and the execution you would have thought that they had been doing it for years. Well done all the staff and thank you for a wonderful stay.Dinner and Breakfast to the highest standard,we both had fabulous,well aged steaks at dinner 10/10 for quality and cookery.10/10 for service and the room,high end TOM GYLL was sumptious and spotless,beautiful balconies.

We were staying in the hotel on a room and dinner basis and opted for the five course tasting menu. Unlike other tasting menus we have had the choice was made from the a la carte menu. You choose two starters, two mains and one desert. Unfortunately everyone in the group has to have exactly the same so the choice is limited. There was nothing wrong with the food but there was also nothing great about it to set it apart from other places. For the price and the limitations on choice I would recommend just sticking with the main menu.

Guau; Qué maravilloso restaurante. Allá arriba con los mejores. Sí, esta es una buena cena y no es del gusto de todos, pero si quieres una noche especial, no lo dudes. Desde el principio, el servicio fue excepcional. Optamos por el menú de degustación de 5 platos y vino a juego y no nos decepcionó. esperamos visitar denuevo.

Fuimos a este restaurante para el cumpleaños de mi novia. Llegamos justo antes de las 8 para nuestra reserva a las 8 pero no nos sentamos en nuestra mesa hasta las 8. 30 pero ya había ordenado y tomó una copa. El menú de degustación de 5 platos fue exquisito, pero prepárate para estar allí por un tiempo. Nos sentamos en nuestra mesa alrededor de las 8. 40 y nuestro último curso salió a las 11 pm! ! Lo recomendaría pero esté preparado para un largo tiempo de servicio

Reservamos en Rothay Manor para la víspera de Año Nuevo 2019/20. Esperábamos una degustación de 10 platos como se anunciaba, pero realmente tenía poca idea de cómo iba a resultar todo. ¡Qué experiencia tan maravillosa! La cena fue excelente, desde el champán y canapés hasta el (segundo) postre, todo fue hábilmente preparado, bellamente presentado y servido con estilo por un personal cortés y conocedor. Fue sabrosa, imaginativa y refinada cocina en su mejor momento. Las porciones eran exactamente correctas dada la cantidad de cursos, y la velada fue perfecta. Excelente carta de vinos. Agregue a eso un ingenioso mago de mesa, un sutil cantante y una exhibición de fuegos artificiales de medianoche (!) - Dios mío, qué noche estelar, sofisticada y memorable en general. ¡Bravo!

Estaba abrumado por este restaurante que no estaba seguro de qué esperar al principio, pero entre los 3 platos habituales había cursos intermedios adicionales de comida deliciosa fuera de este mundo que tenía mucho pensamiento y pasión por parte de un chef verdaderamente talentoso. Cada curso se presentó muy bien y los camareros lo entregan con una explicación detallada de los ingredientes y de dónde vino el pensamiento para el plato.

My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversay at the Rothay Manor restaurant and we were treated like royalty. The chef is inventive and the food is superb. Highly recommended for a special evening.

My wife and I dined here last Monday evening. We both had the a la carte menu, my wife choosing the vegetarian option. We counted at the end of the evening we had actually had 7 courses with all the extra courses they gave us. But it was the quality of the food, the innovation and execution of the cuisine, the faultless service and the excellence of the sommelier which together contributed to one of the best meals, if not the best, we have ever had. An outstanding experience on a rainy night in Ambleside.

On Satrday night we had dinner at Rothay Manor and it was really wonderful. We had the 3 course a la carte dinner and it was so much more with exquisite canapes, an amuse bouche, home made mini loaves and a pre-dessert. Every single course was a delight and exceptional. I won't give too many details as that spoils the surprise for you but my starter was pigeon, main course grouse and dessert chocolate and they were all so beautiful and innovative in taste and appearance. I think they regularly add new dishes to the menu so I'm looking forward to going again. The wine recommendations were excellent too. Lovely staff and setting as well. Such a treat after a long day on Helvellyn!

I attended a celebratory function here on Saturday lunch time and I experienced a First Class lunch with excellent service. The food was well presented and of a very high quality.

Если вы пробовали множество блюд в местных окрестностях, но все ещё не нашли того самого такого знакомого и изысканного места, то оно здесь. Великолепное место и атмосфера. Персонал, подача и вкус. Всё. Обязательно вернёмся.Работают днём.

My husband and I stayed here , rooms were well presented and decorated lovely, with everything you need, a great hairdryer too. The bed was so comfy , had a great nights sleep.. We decided to go for the 5 course taster menu and we were so pleased we had. The food was superb, from the canapés before our meal to the 5 courses, each one was so different, the presentation and taste was fantastic, so much effort that’s put into it all, even the waiters and waitresses were so pleasant, nothing was too much trouble.The next morning at breakfast I had high expectations and once again it was delicious..loads of choice, good fresh food. Definitely will be recommending this place to all our friends.

We dined at the hotel restaurant during our recent stay and the food and service definitely lived up to the fine dining experience that the Hotel has created. We had a delicious 4 course meal and every course was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Next time we will definitely have the tasting menu to be able to try more of the chef’s outstanding creations. Thanks to the chefs and staff for a wonderful meal.

Excellent food in a lovely old building with nice grounds. Plenty of dining options, from a la carte, vegetarian to different tasting menus. The service was friendly and enthusiastic but not quite on the ball and we waited quite a long time between courses but it was a busy saturday evening. Overall I can highly recommend and will definitely return

Having lived in Ambleside for more than 2 decades it felt remiss never to have eaten at The Rothay Manor Hotel. A friend was visiting for a long weekend and we decided to try it. We were very impressed. Easy to book, friendly and attentive welcome, good choice of menus and perfect weather for a glass of fizz outside. We chose the Chefs Tasting Menu which included Sweetbreads, Arctic Char, Duck & 2 delightful desserts. Pre starters & fabulous home made bread & flavoured butters were additional extras making for a well executed, flavourful & delicious meal. We chose a bottle of house Champagne, great value at £52 for the bottle & 2 large glasses of Fleurie. We thought the whole experience was one we would repeat & pretty good value to boot. Thank you Rothay Manor. We hope to be back again in the not too distant future.

We traveled from Australia and met with 6 other family members here at the hotel.

We booked this restaurant as a treat whilst on holiday in Ambleside and had a vegetarian tasting menu option for my husband. It didn't disappoint. Each course of the tasting menu was well presented and tasted great. I think the chefs speciality was the two dessert courses which were amazing, especially the souffle. We also enjoyed a reasonably priced but great tasting bottle of Malbec.

Tuvimos un tiempo maravilloso en el restaurante. Con la excepción de la larga espera para nuestros entrantes, todo fue excelente. El sumiller era muy sabio y estaba claro que su amor por el vino era una vocación. Lo mismo sucedió con la persona a cargo del carrito de quesos, que incluso había oído hablar de Filetes de queso de Filadelfia. Mi esposa comenzó con una vieira perfectamente cocida en una deliciosa crema de espuma y yo comí la salsa de naranja. El pichón estaba perfectamente preparado aunque encontré la salsa de naranja un poco asertiva. Ambos tuvimos el lomo y el vientre de cordero en un jus de cordero y fue fabuloso. El campo de quesos también fue excelente, con una interesante selección de quesos de productores de quesos ingleses. Definitivamente vale la pena una visita de regreso.

This is fine dining good choice and they will adapt the menu if you ask them mushroom risotto brilliant

Un excelente menú de degustación fue un verdadero placer disfrutarlo con un buen servicio, especialmente del sommelier que combinó los vinos con los diversos platos. También parecía estar al frente de la casa. En nuestra segunda noche solo tuvimos el menú normal y disfrutamos un poco de vino recomendado.

Recibimos un cupón de regalo para el té de la tarde para 2, así que fuimos con nuestro hijo de 2 años ya que estábamos en los lagos de vacaciones.

Nos alojamos aquí por un largo fin de semana después de nuestra reserva para un lodge de alquiler se fracasó.

Hemos estado yendo a Rothay Manor para el almuerzo del domingo durante una docena de años cuando estamos de vacaciones en los Lagos. Siempre ha tenido una oferta sólida y un buen servicio. ¡Mi hijo, ahora de 11 años, solía arrastrarse por el piso del comedor!
