Home truths
Rothay Manor is actually a 5 or 10 min walk from the centre of Ambleside. We think that provides the best of both worlds. Should you want to amble in to town you can do so, and for the evening retreat back to your cosy country home for dinner. There really is no better place locally to dine.....

History of the hotel
Built in 1823 by a wealthy merchant from Liverpool, and converted to a hotel in 1936, Rothay Manor is steeped in history, and still retains many delightful Regency features.
Dogs Policy
There are 4 dog-friendly bedrooms, all with either external access or a small enclosed courtyard, for your dogs' enjoyment. For the comfort of other guests they do ask that your Best Friend is not to be brought into the Restaurant and refrain from allowing them on furniture or beds. If there is any excessive damage such as chewing, or fouling in the bedrooms/public spaces then there will be a fair charge for the cost of deep-cleaning.
There are 2 lounges that you are welcome to relax in with your pooch, either the comfortable Drawing room or the welcoming Brathay lounge, where you can dine with your dog for breakfast and dinner if you wish.
You are welcome to exercise your dog (on a lead) in the beautiful gardens and doggie waste bins are provided for your convenience. There are more walks then we can mention from the doorstep of Rothay Manor so please do ask if you need any advice on where to walk.
The price for your dogs to join you on your wonderful break in the Lakes is just £20 per dog per stay, and this is limited this to 2 dogs only per room.
You can book any hotel break through our secure online booking system.
