NEW YEAR

Enjoy a picture perfect winter in the heart of the Lake District. With roaring log fires in the bar and someone else doing all the cooking and washing up, all you have to do is relax in the stunning surroundings. There is a good chance of snow on the high fells, and the certainty of mulled wine on the bar. No formality here, just a friendly and laid back country inn atmosphere. Go on bracing walks or do nothing except over-indulge, it’s all fine by us.

We are open every day for food and drink.

New Year's Eve: The Inn will be open for you to enjoy a convivial end to the year. The log fires will be burning and the fairy lights twinkling as the clock ticks down to midnight. No rowdy entertainment, just a traditional Inn full of merry customers. Bar meals served as usual.

A real Lake District gem - a great value country B&B on one side and an historic 400 year old inn on the other.

BADGER FEEDING EVERY EVENING - COME AND WATCH

The best walks in the Lake District start right from our doorstep, or just relax in this famous old building and enjoy the good food, real ales and open fires. Our staff are friendly and helpful and play a big part in making the Glen Rothay a really unique place to stay - just have a look at our guestbook, full of comments from guests who return again and again.

Ambleside and Grasmere are close by, and there are glorious views all around. It is not surprising that William Wordsworth chose to live most of his life at Rydal Mount, just behind us on the fellside. And every evening you can see the badgers being fed in our grounds. Where else can you get all that?
