We are back again after COVID.

Paul G, Tyne and Wear, stayed: November 2025

We have been coming occasionally to the Rothay Manor for over 20 years. We are always delighted with our stay and are happy to say that the standard has always remained at the highest level without fail. This is the hotel that we compare all others to, and despite staying at numerous quality hotels over Europe and the UK, we have yet to meeti its equal for the relaxed comfort and quality feel and exquisite dining.

Lovely three night stay

SF, County Durham, stayed: January 2025

We chose this hotel for its fine dining and it didn t disappoint , although the menu doesn t change frequently and so three days was enough.
The rooms are large and very comfortable.
The staff are all friendly, attentive and welcoming

We are recomminding this hotel to friends and we will return ourselves
