Rothay Garth is a really lovely guest house. From check in with Nick to the staff who served breakfast. Everyone was super friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Located opposite the Park where there is crazy golf, pitch and put and tennis courts, and a short walk into Ambleside centre. Very clean bedrooms and a very nice dining room and lounge area. We would definitely stay here again.
