Newsletter  - Summer 2009

A review of early 2009 and a look forward to the rest of 2009

 

 

 

 

 

NEWS

 

 

January seems a long time ago and many of you will already have seen the refurbishment that took place back then.

The rooms having a ‘makeover’ this time were ‘Room 2’ and the ‘Conservatory’ and We’re sure you’ll agree that they now look great.

 

 

Using a new interior designer this year, Room 2 (left) is now in calm, relaxing shades of pale green and cream with luxurious fabrics and a stunning bathroom.

 

 

 

 

 

The Conservatory (right) has a new ‘walk-in’ wardrobe and is richly decorated in shades of red and cream giving a really warm, luxurious feel.

 

 

 

 

 

AWARDS & REVIEWS

You can see all our awards and press reviews on the  ‘Awards & Reviews’ page of our website.

You can also listen to the various radio interviews, including the broadcast last November on Radio 4’s ‘Woman’s Hour’ about the Scrabble Holiday

STAFF MATTERS

 

CUMBRIA TOURISM AWARDS 2009  -

     MOST EXCEPTIONAL YOUNG TOURISM 

                            MANAGER

Simply the best!

Following on Rothay Manor being the only hotel restaurant short-listed for last year’s Cumbria Tourism ‘Taste Awards’, we are delighted to say that our General Manager, Peter, was short-listed from 11 other candidates for the ‘Most Exceptional Young Tourism Manager’ 2009 award.

Anne-Marie, who put Peter forward for the award, accompanied him to the ‘glitzy, Oscar-style’ awards ceremony at the Castle Green hotel in Kendal on the 6th May.

He came a close 2nd and his certificate will join Julia’s ‘Most Exceptional Customer Service’ on proud display in Reception – but we still think you’re the best, Peter!

 

 

 

 

New Additions to the ‘Family’

Over the last 12 months, there have been 2 new additions to the Rothay Manor ‘family’

 

Oliver, son of Agnieszka (who many of you will remember from the restaurant and housekeeping) and her husband Marcin, is just 4 months old.

 

 

 

 

Kasia, daughter of Lukas (who is part of the Kitchen Team) and his wife Anna, has just celebrated her 1st birthday

Special Interest Holidays

The 2008 – 2009 Special Interest holidays were very successful with waiting lists once again for the most popular. The first ‘Advanced Bridge’ holiday was certainly one of these - so much so that already we have lots of provisional bookings for next year, so if you want to come along to that, book now!

Also new for 2009, the ‘Chess’ holiday was well attended and everyone seemed to enjoy it and learn from it  - an encouraging start for a new topic.

Details of all the holidays for 2009 – 2010 are available in the Specialised Holiday pages   If you would like more information, just give us a call and we will send you the leaflet specific to any particular holiday, or you can view the details or download the leaflet direct from the website. See the ‘availability page’ in the Special Interest section to check about each holiday.

New for 2010 is ‘Interior Design’ with tutor Christine Hamilton. This will take place in April next year and full details will be available soon.

Exciting news about the website as it continues to evolve and become more user friendly and informative. 

You can already check availability online and make simple bookings from the site, and we are hoping that a full online booking service will be available later this year. For more complex reservations or any queries, just give us a call.

The hotel now has a profile on ‘Facebook’, as well as a ‘Walking’ and ‘Gardening’ group.  Groups for all the other holidays will follow so keep an eye open for that.

A ‘blog’ will be on the site soon and run alongside the existing snippets of news taken from the Westmorland Gazette, so you will be able to keep up-to-date with what’s going on here.

Download any of our leaflets direct from the website as PDF files e.g. details of our wheelchair accessible rooms, Family Holidays, Lake District Literary Heritage etc.

See details of forthcoming local events, names and contacts of food suppliers and, of course, updates of any Special Offers etc.
