Glen Rothay Hotel
About
Welcome to Glen Rothay Hotel & Badger Bar, a charming Lake District B&B and historic inn that blends 400‑year‑old heritage with modern comfort. Nestled just a two‑minute stroll from Rydal Lake, the property offers a mix of double, twin and family rooms, many featuring four‑poster beds, open fires, and floor‑to‑ceiling windows that capture sweeping views across fells and woodland. The Inn’s iconic oak‑paneled dining room, a relic from the 17th century, sets a cosy, atmospheric backdrop for hearty pub fare and locally brewed real ales officially approved by CAMRA. Each evening, guests are treated to a unique badger‑feeding spectacle just outside the Bar, making the venue a must‑visit for wildlife lovers. Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape, a family friendly retreat, or simply a place to unwind after a day of Lake District walks, Glen Rothay provides friendly, attentive service, extensive parking, and a relaxed, welcoming environment that invites you to stay a few days or even longer.
