If you are searching for Grasmere hotels or Lake District Hotels, consider Rothay Garden, no ordinary Lakeland Hotel. We are one of the finest luxury Lake District hotels and the newest contemporary four star hotel in Cumbria. The hotel is situated on the edge of picturesque Grasmere village, nestling in two acres of classic Lake District riverside gardens, surrounded by the majestic Lakeland fells.

Following a major £3 million redevelopment in 2008, Rothay Garden has again in the winter of 2010/11, embarked upon further major investment. This has seen the upgrading of our ground floor bedrooms on the garden and riverside by the addition of sun lounges, with the corresponding bedrooms above gaining balconies. Also, by Easter a stunning new restaurant and small but delightful Riverside Spa will open. This will ensure we remain one of the highest rated of all hotels in Grasmere and Ambleside, challenging the very best luxury Lake District hotels. The hotel now boasts 30 beautiful bedrooms, including five loft suites, six riverside suites and 2 garden suites, a stunning new conservatory restaurant overlooking our gardens, boasting 2 AA rosettes, chic lounges and bar and of course, our new Riverside Spa. These facilities, together with our renowned personal yet attentive service, combine to ensure you have the Lake District short break or holiday which you deserve.
