Amazing location, friendly staff, easy access to other touristic locations. Nice breakfast limited in open buffet, but I think it’s enough with the option of ordering hot food. Love the parking in front of the B&B. We played golf and enjoyed very much.

We stayed only 1 overnight on the way down from scotland. We could see lot of people staying for visiting the lakes. The hotel is in a very nice location. They are also pet friendly and they provided us a towel and a bowl for the dog. We highly recommend both breakfast and set menù dinner which was very nice. Room was clean and bathroom looked recently renewed.

My wife and I went to Ambleside for 3 days. We would normally never stay in a Guest House (prefer a pub/hotel) but opted for Rothay Garth. We were pleasantly surprised. We enjoyed our stay and the whole breakfast situation was great.Full English on order, plus extra options and friendly, helpful staff. We selected the cosy room as we were on a budget. It was totally adequate, but next time we go, we'll book a larger room.

My first stay at Rothay Garth and the friendly staff - Joanna - made the experience more delightful. Finding the location via car GPS was intriguing. It said the location was on the left when the actual address is on the right side a little further down from the GPS indication. After making couple of rounds we found it and glad there was parking was available. Overall, Ambleside is a perfect location as a base to visit the lakes district and Rothay Garth was an excellent choice.

Although the decor and building felt a bit dated - lots of dark wood and patterned carpets - it was very clean and the staff were brilliantly friendly - remembering our names to greet us in the morning. The breakfast was straightforward and tasty and arrived quickly - loved the fact that there was cake on the breakfast buffet! It was quiet at night too. Had to air the room as there was condensation on the inside of the sash windows but wondered if that was because it wasn't possible to double-glaze them. It was plenty warm enough in chilly March and had a lovely warm shower and big fluffy towels. The room itself didn't have a lot of space for storage, just a small slightly musty cupboard which we didn't use in the end. It would have been nice to have some herbal tea and biscuits in the room. I think it's generally quite expensive to stay in the lakes as this was more than we would normally pay to stay but the location was excellent for walking and Ambleside itself.

Lovely traditional B&B very close to the centre of Ambleside. The room was clean, warm and beautifully decorated. The bed was super comfortable! Joanna was a great host and I felt very welcome and safe as a solo guest. The breakfast room was charming and I enjoyed the vegetarian breakfast on offer. The only minor negatives were the shower and the lack of hygiene bags in the bathroom. I also struggled to access the apps on the smart TV. Overall it's an excellent place to stay and I would book again if I were visiting the area.

Well run friendly efficient staff. Hotel is a more dated property but is nice and traditional. Our bathroom in a superior room was in need of updating which i believe they are in the process.The shower was rather poor which i reckon was due to a faulty mixer valve. We didnt raise this has it wasn't a major issue for us and it may be just low mains pressure on the cold supply or because its a older property.
Breakfast was very good with excellent service
Parking was good but obviously over weekends can be full rather quickly.
Hotel is in a great location but you may hear some noise from road and the property is obviously single glassed, which again wasnt a real issue for us.
Overall, great stay and would definitely stay again.

Hotel was dated and the windows in the room were only single glazed meaning there was a lot of road noise and moisture on the inside of the glass. Room was freezing cold upon arrival as all the radiators were off (it was 2.5 degrees out). Upon arrival with the dog, the hotel said they were not aware a dog was coming (despite when I made the booking through hotels.com I filtered for dog friendly, had to pay a surcharge for the room (which wasn't that clean when we arrived). We were then told we'd have to have breakfast the next day in our room! Upon floating around the breakfast area looking for someone to speak to about breakfast, a nice young lad asked if we would like a table made up In the lounge, we said yes please. He said weren't you given this option when you checked in? I said no we didn't. He was a great lad and very accommodating and friendly. Food was also really good!

Rothay Garth is situated right at the heart of Ambleside, with all the local amenities only a couple of minute's walk away. There was also ample free parking on the premises. I would recommend this guest house and have already booked another stay.

Very convenient location with parking and a good breakfast. Comfy bed, the room was a bit dated and the shower was quite small but it wasn’t a problem for us.

Awful! Left my pregnant wife sleeping on floor

My recent stay at this hotel was an awful experience. We discovered the bed was completely broken on our first night, leaving my pregnant wife to sleep on the floor. This was unacceptable and dangerous.
The negative experience continued the next morning at breakfast. A staff member handed me a plate that was dangerously hot. When I pointed this out, she refused to apologize and blamed us, claiming she had warned us—which she had not. No plate should ever be hot enough to pose a burn risk to a customer.
Other issues only added to our disappointment:
Hairs were left in the bathtub.
The broken bed creaked loudly all night.
We waited 15 minutes to check in.
The room smelled strongly of bleach and had no full-length mirror.
Noise from outside the room was constant and loud.
While the location was convenient, that was the only positive aspect. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.
