While downstairs- the comfortable drawing room is perfect for relaxing- planning your Lake District adventures or chatting to other guests over drinks and nibbles. A thoughtfully restored Grade II listed house- Rothay Manor wears its heritage proudly- with hardwood floors and Lewis and Wood wallpaper in the award-winning restaurant. But the celebrated executive chef also draws on Japanese and Scandinavian traditions to create menus that burst with imagination and flavor.

The hotel offers a local walking guide- and sustainable foraging expeditions in spring and summer. To get even more active- ask about mountain biking- paddle boarding or wild swimming in nearby tarns. This part of Cumbria was also home to William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter- whose homes are open to the public.
