Welcoming boutique Lake District B&B in the heart of Ambleside

In an enviable Ambleside location, less than a five-minute drive from the head of  Windermere, is Rothay Garth, a welcoming B&B with fabulous mountain views and boutique bedrooms. Whether you're travelling solo, as a couple, or part of a small group, it makes for an excellent Lake District base.

There are 19 stylish rooms to choose from across 'Cosy', 'Comfy', 'Superior' and 'Family'. All feature tea- and coffee-making facilities, WiFi and a TV. 'Superior' bedrooms are the most spacious – some have statement wallpaper, wooden flooring and a four-poster, while others come complete with a sofa and a spa bath. Meanwhile, 'Family' guest rooms sleep three across a double and single. Fancy bringing your dog along for some Lake District adventuring? Not a problem: Just let the B&B know when you book.

Breakfast is served each morning in the characterful, light-laden dining area, and included in all room rates. Options range from a Full English to a lighter continental offering, including yoghurt, fresh fruit and cereal.

As lovely as Rothay Garth is, you'll no doubt want to explore all the Lake District National Park has to offer. There's no shortage of things to do close by, from visiting Stock Ghyll Force waterfall, just a 15-minute walk from the bed and breakfast, to hiking Wansfell Pike, Black Fell Peak or the 10-kilometre Helm Crag/Wythburn Fells loop. Ambleside itself has an array of shops, galleries and foodie spots, while slightly further afield you'll find the bustling market town of Keswick and Coniston Water. And of course, there's Windermere, England's largest natural lake, where you can embark on a boat cruise or self-guide by canoe or kayak.

After a day out and about, it's back to Rothay Garth, where you can relax in the lounge and conservatory at the front of the property, looking out at the well-kept garden – perhaps with a drink from the honesty bar. On warmer days, why not take your beverage outside to the patio?

Also part of the same family are Victorian House, a boutique B&B in nearby Grasmere, and Georgian House, down in London.
