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.
Open for food, drinks and a warm welcome
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?
We are open for food 12noon-2.30pm and 5.30pm-7.30pm each day, and usually a little longer at weekends.
If you want to be sure of a table, bookings are taken just for the start of each service, at 12 or 12.30 for lunch, 5.30pm, 6pm or 7.30pm in the evening.
Groups of 7 or more, please give us a ring or send an email.
Please note the office is not usually manned after 5pm so we cannot always read emails or answer calls.
