Rothay Manor Description
Rothay Manor is an elegant Regency house built in 1825 as a private residence for a prosperous Liverpool merchant and still retains many original features. The house is a listed building and is set in attractive landscaped gardens a 1/4 mile from the head of Lake Windermere and a short walk from the centre of Ambleside. Fresh flowers and antiques give the feel of a welcoming private house and the lounges are ideal for relaxing over afternoon tea or pre-dinner drinks.
It has been run by the Nixon family for over 40 years and combines well-appointed bedrooms with a relaxed atmosphere. The hotel and restaurant has been listed consistently in the Good Food Guide for 38 years and is one of only six establishments that has been mentioned in the Good Hotel Guide since it began. Nowhere is the philosophy that 'if it is worth doing it is worth doing properly' more apparent than in the Manor's restaurant. At Rothay Manor dining is treated as an experience to be savoured to the full. Perhaps therefore it should not come as a surprise to learn that Rothay Manor was named 'Small Hotel of the Year 2006' in the Cumbria for Excellence Awards.
The menu is varied and meals are prepared and served to the highest of standards with flair and imagination. Local produce is used wherever possible and choices for main course could include: shoulder of Cumbrian fell-bred lamb slowly braised with root vegetables, red wine, tomatoes and herbs, served off the bone on a bed of braised red cabbage with a sweet potato mash, broad beans and a rich lamb sauce flavoured with rosemary and tomato; Holker Hall wild mallard braised with damson gin, served with a juniper berry jus, green beans, gruyere potatoes and a Cumberland sauce; fillet of sea bass pan-fried and served on a prawn, aspargus and coriander risotto with mangetout.
There is much to recommend about their wine list, as their mark-ups are reasonable, with five house wines at £16; plus they make helpful suggestions of what wines to have with dishes on the menu.
For further information, do visit their Website - with 16 individually appointed bedrooms and 3 suites in the grounds of the hotel there is accommodation to suit all needs. Families are made most welcome with rooms and suites available, together with cots, highchairs, baby-listening and an excellent High Tea menu.
