Price of a bottle of wine a bit over the top. I purchased a bottle of wine for 29.95 only to discover it retailed for 9.95. I can't see how they can justify charging three times the price for a mediocre wine.. I know they have to make a profit but?
Rothay Manor says...
I am very disappointed to learn that you found our wine list expensive, as one of the things that we pride ourselves on is keeping our wine at good value! Obviously we do need to make a profit, and have other costs to pay within that bottle (staff, glassware etc). We do actually pay more for that particular bottle than you have found it for online (we use a small supplier, who perhaps does not get such a good price as larger companies who have a greater purchasing power). We often do competitor analysis, and always come up with better value wines than among our competitors, so I am disappointed to find that this bottle of wine is available so much cheaper at online retailers.
Kind regards

Swimmers retreat
We used Rothay Manor as our base whilst doing an endurance swim in Lake Windermere.
Not only did we have a warm welcome, but so did our dog, with his own welcome pack and letter from the resident spaniel!
The food was fantastic and the staff friendly and approachable. We wouldn't hesitate in booking again.
A brilliant break
Our superior room was extremely comfortable, including a super kingsize bed, plus two armchairs, and had a real country house feel to it. The restaurant's d cor was more contemporary and the food, very gourmet, was delicious. The bar has a superb range of gins.
