Disabled Guests

Disabled guests are welcome at Rothay Manor, where one Ground Floor bedroom and a Suite have been specially adapted for wheelchair use in accordance with National Accessible Scheme Category 2 guidelines.

There is an allocated Disabled Car Parking space close to the entrance of the hotel as well as in front of the suite in the grounds, with a dedicated disabled access at the side of the hotel (the main hotel entrance has just one step from the car park into reception, for which a portable ramp is available). Once inside there is level access to Reception, the lounges and the dining room. If you require assistance with luggage etc, please ask at reception.

Both the lounges and the dining room are spacious and well-laid out with plenty of room for wheelchairs to manouevre.

The Ground Floor bedroom in the hotel and the Loughrigg Suite in the grounds have bathrooms equipped with a bath and also a roll-in shower with non-slip flooring for which shower-chairs are available. The appropriate grab rails are fitted by the bath and toilet as well as in the shower. A stool for use by the wash basin and toilet raisers are available on request.

Room service is available between 8am - 1.45pm and 6.00-9pm and we are happy to cater for any specific dietary requirements with prior notice. The hotel is completely 'no-smoking'.
