Top Rothay Park Hotel Reviews

Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and well maintained and the comfort of the bed was amazing. Check in staff were polite and friendly. Breakfast was Self service but superb. We didn’t use the spa on this occasion as we were there to attend a wedding but have used it previously and it is top notch. My only bug bear is that due to not booking direct I had to pay for parking at £12. This didn’t sit right with me because if using the spa, parking is free, if I had just attended the wedding and had not stayed the night parking would have been free. So then when I give them more custom of staying the night I had to pay because I hadn’t booked directly."

Ambleside Central

8/10 Good

"Impossible to rate staff as there are none Shower a little small Place was very clean and I had no problem with noise All in all I would have no qualms about staying there again The code access worked a treat"

Elder Grove

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient for accessing the town centre on foot. Good parking facilities. Flexible and helpful checking in procedures."

Rothay Garth

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, very handy having a parking spot in Ambleside. Well situated, short walk into town and very handy for the cinemas & restaurants. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice and freshly cooked to order. Lovely big room with a great view. Thought it might be noisy as it's by the main road but this wasn't a problem at all."

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful stay yet again at the salutation hotel. The location of the hotel makes it an ideal stay to visit Ambleside. Perfect to park the car when you arrive and no need to use it again for your stay. Having a spa within the hotel is a bonus and the standard of cleanliness throughout the hotel is exceptional. We stayed in a room at the front of the hotel , which yes there is a little street noise , but nothing you wouldn’t expect staying in a town centre , and certainly didn’t keep you awake at night - in fact it was probably one of the highlights of our room - people watching below and the beautiful fells in the distance. Breakfast is a real treat , excellent selection of hot and cold food and drinks , there is everything you could possibly want for breakfast. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff - everyone greats you with a smile and are most helpful. Having visited the Lake District from childhood staying at campsites, lodges, cottages and b&b’s , I can honestly say this is my favourite place to stay. Thank you to the team at The Salutation Hotel , hopefully we will return soon."

Brathay Lodge

8/10 Good

"Room 17 with mountain view is very big with pretty church view too. Clean room but TV remote did not work. Check in time is only 4-6PM which is too short and inconvenient."

The Temperance Inn, Ambleside. The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"Charming establishment with very friendly staff."

Ambleside Guest House

8/10 Good

"It's not a bad place to spend a night or two but is pretty dated and expensive for what you get. For some reason, no bath towels were provided and instead you get four hand towels. There was also only decaf coffee. All this would be fine if it was cheap, but it's not."

Ambleside Townhouse

8/10 Good

"From pictures, I thought it was by the lake but it is not. However it is a nice place to stay"
