Top Rothay Park Hotel Reviews

The Gables Guest House

8/10 Good

"Very warm welcome and friendly staff, very comfy bed and hot shower. Close to town. Full English breakfast every morning what more do you need! Warren was really nice and let me check in early. Thank you for a lovely stay."

Rothay Garth

8/10 Good

"It was alright, the staff were nice. Location was fantastic just walks away from waterhead, town centre and other places. Room was clean but on the table there was a green fly, must have slipped in from the window. Other than that it was pretty nice."

Melrose Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Melrose Guest House was just brilliant from start to finish. There wasn’t one single thing I could find fault with. Everything was so clean and the breakfast one was of the best I have had. There was so much choice of breakfast items. Tracy and Alan are brilliant hosts. A bonus was the included secure parking area, only a couple of minutes away from the property. The guesthouse is very near to the town centre of Ambleside. Definitely stay there if you are in the area."

Compston House B&B - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was delicious! A variety of home options. Meg said that she orders CANADIAN maple syrop for the pancakes which, we must say, was the best syrup in all of our UK travels. We appreciated it and thanks Meg! The room was really clean with ample drawers and a wardrobe closet for storage as well. John was busy one day cleaning the rooms one day and stopped to talk to us about the history of the house. Really personable and friendly guy. Thanks John! Parking was free (with pass from B&B) and close at kings street car park. It was about 5-10 minutes walk to downtown restaurants and shops. Overall , really great stay. Thanks Meg and John!"
