Family Holiday

Excellent property for a large family group to spend a week together. Accommodation worked well for a large group, and location on the edge of Grasmere is exceptional.

This house was amazing, kept immaculately and everything in it which one might need for the weeks stay. Books full of detailed instructions and advice for any appliances etc in the house. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

Large house perfect for big groups

The house and garden are amazing and in a perfect location. Spectacular views of the rolling hillside and only a 5 minute walk into the centre of Grasmere. The house is really well equipped. Large garden is beautiful and even has a stream running through it. Easy access to all the Lakes, incredible walks nearby and some really good restaurants. What more could you want.

Thank you for taking the time to review. Rothay House & Apartment is a bit special, unique. Those wanting to visit the lakes, walk the fells, hit the peaks, resturants, coffee shops, pubs, its all walkable from the House. Windermere, Ambleside, Keswick, a hop on the bus, or short drive. The views from the garden change daily, Spring Summer, Autumn, or Winter all incredible, Alcock Tarn, Helms Crag, Stone Arthur, Fiarfield Horseshoe to name a few. Rothay House is our hidden gem, we thank all new and past guests for staying. Jon

This house is in a stunning location. On the edge of Grasmere with it's plentiful cafes and famous ginger shop! The garden is great, BBQ and firepit are provided and there's lots of seating etc... The house has plenty of space. Unfortunately, the upstairs leaves a lot to be desired! Lots of mold and cobwebs everywhere, we were really disappointed given the amount of money we had paid. The smaller room was by far the worst, tiles off in the shower, mold on the carpet (just really shabby) I would never have booked to stay here if I had known the state of it. It's a shame because it could be a stunning house.

hello, thank you for reviewing. yes the upstairs of the property did let itself down in comparison to downstairs. It has taken the best part of 2 years to schedule and get contractors in. Over £160,000 of improvements have been made, all windows have been replaced, double glazed, 4 of the 5 en-suites have been completely gutted and refurbished, last one scheduled for spring 2026. Will update pictures very soon.

Fantastic house, great location

Great week in Grasmere with ten of us comfortably accommodated in this house. A few minutes walk from the centre of Grasmere with its cafes, pubs and restaurants and on the doorstep of some stunning Lakes hikes and bike rides. Highly recommend bbq and drinks in the beautiful gardens as the sun goes down. Fabulous Lake District experience.
