Rowan at Rothay Manor

Found in Ambleside at the northernmost tip of Lake Windermere in the Lake District, Rothay Manor is an elegant Grade II listed country house retreat. With hiking, climbing and boating on the agenda, Rothay Manor is the perfect escape from the stresses of modern living.

This unique country house hotel is home to Rowan, the award-winning restaurant that showcases the best of the region, with beautifully crafted dishes, afternoon tea treats and delicious Sunday roasts made from locally sourced ingredients wherever possible.

Working with exceptional local producers, the kitchen team - led by Michelin-starred chef Simon Ulph, crafts beautifully composed seasonal dishes offering a modern interpretation of British cuisine, subtly influenced by European and Asian flavours. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Lake District, each dish showcases carefully sourced ingredients from locally reared meats and valley-grown vegetables to the finest coastal catch.
