Rothay Manor Hotel
Ambleside, United Kingdom · ★ 4.7 Exceptional B.Booking.com 9.3
A cedar hot tub on a private slate terrace, a Lakeland fell rising beyond the wicker screen. Ambleside at its quietest.
Slip into the cedar tub and the fell is right there, green and close above the wicker hurdle fence. That's the view from the private terrace on the hot tub rooms at Rothay Manor, and it's the kind of thing you don't quite believe until you're in it, steam rising, a bottle of something cold on the slate beside you. If you're looking for a hotel with a private in-room hot tub in Ambleside, this is one of the more considered options in the Lakes.
The photos show two distinct set-ups: a round cedar barrel tub on a private terrace screened by woven hazel hurdles, and a Jacuzzi-branded white tub sitting closer to a mossy rockface. Three room types carry the feature, from the Grand Room on the ground floor to the Deluxe Suite and the Suite. Guests rate the hotel 9.3 out of 10, which tells you the broader experience holds up well beyond the tub itself.

Questions, answered
Is the hot tub outdoors or inside the room?+
The cedar barrel tub sits on a private outdoor terrace, screened by woven hazel hurdles for privacy, with fell views above. A Jacuzzi-style tub also appears in the photos in a more sheltered setting close to a rockface.
Which room types at Rothay Manor include a hot tub?+
Three room categories include the feature: the Suite with Hot Tub, the Deluxe Suite with one king bed, and the Grand Room with one king bed on the ground floor.
Are the tubs actually private and in-room, or shared with other guests?+
Every property we list has a tub that's exclusive to your suite or room, so you won't be booking a time slot or sharing with strangers.
Which part of Ambleside puts you closest to the fells with a tub suite?+
Both properties sit within the town itself, so you're a short walk from Waterhead and the lake shore, with open fell views easy to reach on foot rather than by car.
