i went for a meal and a look at the hotel, the meals were very expensive and very small my children's meals were bigger than mine. We were greeted by a very rude man who made us feel very unwelcome. we were told that it was a great place for families but we could not see why. more

I arranged to spend 3 nights and came to The Lakes for a wedding. I arrived late and was please with the welcome from staff.

This was our 5th stay at the Glen Rothay / Badger Bar in 18 months and the reason we keep coming back for more is simple: its a beautiful and enchanting hotel that is as quirky and charming as you can possibly wish for! To begin with, the location of the hotel is paramount to its appeal; situated adjacent to... more

The rooms definitely have character but need updating. The scenery and locale is fantastic - we loved the walk around Rydal Water. The beer was good and the staff generally pleasant and helpful.

We have experienced several managements of the hotel, and this was by far the best! Everything about our stay was excellent - the food, the room (we stayed... more

We recently stayed at the Glen Rothay for a long weekend and found it to be a perfect base for exploring the Lakes District. The hotel has an onsite bar (called the Badger Bar) which does great pub grub and a brief stroll across the road leads to a beautiful walk along Rydal water. The staff were extremely friendly and... more

We couldn't change rooms as the hotel was fully booked. The room was ok. Nice big bathroom with a very deep bath, although after I had a bath, there wasn't any... more
