I’m in love with this property and the staff. My husband and I both said it’s the loveliest Hotel we’ve ever been to. Every inch of the property is stunning. The owners thought of every detail, and then some. The staff were unbelievably amazing. Saying goodbye to them was hard to do. We had the most amazing meals on site by a tremendously talented chef. Look no further you want to stay at this amazing place.

A few minor issues with the rooms at Rothay Manor. I would avoid this hotel if you have allergies as nearly every room and communal area is catered to dogs. Our first room had dog fur all over the bed and cushions. The daily cleanliness could be improved in the rooms and the communal areas. Unless you stay in the new Pavilion building, some of the other rooms are tired and dated. Staff are however very friendly and accommodating and the food is very good, but I would not class this hotel as a boutique hotel quite yet. Convenient location into town.
