Lovely location and service but pricey
A lovely quiet location, picturesque gardens and nice spacious room. As this is a 4 star hotel we had high expectations. Some things a bit surprisingly is the £10 per day parking, part of the spa facilities not working (aromatherapy room) and some of the drink and food prices were eye watering. We had a meal in the restaurant and we were still hungry. The room also missed a condom wrapper when cleaning! The customer service was really good, nice food and drink just overpriced. The gardens are lovely to sit in and the spa is relaxing just on the small side.

On arrival the hotel looked great, friedly staff on the desk. Overall we had a lovely stay. We had two rooms and the double overlooking the river behind was idyllic. Downsides: * Noise from the room above - the residents weren't crashing about but you could hear every footstep, loudly when they were in the bathroom. * Spa - whilst a lovely pool overlooking the scenery, both the aromatherapy room and sauna were out of order during our stay. * Surprised a little that residents were charged for parking although in retrospect can see "Self parking fee" (what other type of parking is there?) in the property info.

Lovely, friendly staff and lovely room with balcony overlooking the river . We spent the first two nights of our honeymoon there. It was just a shame the spa bath in our room didn't work and we didn't get anything extra to acknowledge our recent wedding. However we still had a great time and will definitely return.

First time stay and we loved Grasmere. Problems in the restaurant on the first two of our four night stay. We dined out the other 2. Room size, location and setting excellent and staff were great. But, oh dear! The cleanliness!! Towels and linen were good but room doors and skirtings etc were grubby and worn. We are aware that Harbour Hotels have just taken over and that a refurb is about to get under way, so I am sure the shortfalls will be addressed.

Excellent hotel and service.
Our 2 night stay at Rothay Garden was excellent. The staff were exceptional, nothing was to much trouble and the facilities were excellent. The bar prices were actually lower than most of the local bars although the restaurant prices were a bit higher than some of the local restaurants, however the service and quality were very good. Looking forward to visiting again.

Becoming one of our return to hotels
we like Rothay Garden. it’s location is great for Grasmere and the surrounding hills - the rooms, whilst not massive, are clean comfortable (some have stream view balconies). The team are warm and attentive. breakfast is great quality and evening meals are food to for those that want an easy dining option. the spa is a nice touch. There are plenty of hotels upping the “pretentious quotient” and expecting their customers to pay for it.Save the cash and stay here. RG produces good quality and fair VFM. Three trips and still returning.
