Rothay Garth is a really lovely guest house. From check in with Nick to the staff who served breakfast. Everyone was super friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Located opposite the Park where there is crazy golf, pitch and put and tennis courts, and a short walk into Ambleside centre. Very clean bedrooms and a very nice dining room and lounge area. We would definitely stay here again.

6/10 Good

Avoid room 6. The smallest room we have ever had h

Breakfast was the high point of the stay. Our room was a big cupboard. 6 yards by 3 1/2 yards. One broom cupboard for a wardrobe. No stowage for clothes so had to live out of a suitcase. Hand luggage had to be stored in the shower room. Mouldy window frames need to be sorted. Not an ideal stay for our four nights. We felt like the poor relations. My wife cried on arrival and wanted to go straight home. A nightmare. On the plus side. The staff were friendly and obliging. The location was perfect. In other words, avoid room 6. Highly overpriced for what we had. Perhaps other rooms were better but we stuck it out.
