Loved the fact the property was a short walk from village centre and alao the trickle of the stream outside our room. Food in the evening meal was fantastic, with the dining area giving lovely view of the garden

The property was very nice clean and spacious, The food was that nice we stayed in both evenings to enjoy. The only complaint if any was the jacuzzi style plunge pool broke down on the first evening of our stay therefore it was not available throughout which is one of the main reasons we booked this hotel. The staff were very helpful throughout the stay.

We had a really lovely stay for 2 nights at Rothay Garden. We booked dinner on the first night which was high quality. The views over the garden from the restaurant were really relaxing. We booked a luxury room which was really clean and spacious and had a terrace.

A beautiful property with everything you need. The spa was very small but we ended up being the only two people in there from 18:30 till 20:00. The dinner was delicious and breakfast was lovely. The staff were attentive and helpful. A really lovely last minute getaway.

Beautiful quiet property with lovely, friendly staff. The evening meal and breakfast were superb. The room was large, very comfortable and had a lovely patio overlooking the river. The hotel grounds were immaculate and had beautiful views of the hills. It was an easy walk into the town and there were lots of great walks from the door.

Fantastic hotel, spotlessly clean, great breakfast in beautiful surroundings. Last minute booking at a great price, staff friendly. Just to note there was a £10 parking charge which i didnt see mentioned in the booking

Friendly, attentive staff. Tasty breakfast. Comfortable room, with complementary gin. Enjoyed spending time in the spa. Used our Expedia reward in the bar, relaxing in front of the fire. A great birthday getaway. Just a shame that they feel the need to charge for parking. Would certainly recommend Rothay Garden and hope to return in the future.

Great room and lovely spa. However one incredibly rude staff in the restaurant that made you feel like asking any question was insulting. For how expensive it is you don’t expect to be treated like that!
