This hotel was exceptional in everyway. Quiet,large room,comfortable king sized bed and the sound of the stream through the windows was so tranquil. Staff so friendly and helpful. From the beautiful cooked breakfast to the scones and clotted cream every afternoon it just felt like home. Lots of walks from the beautiful Grasmere village. Jump on the bus if you wish to many places. Good restaurants nearby to walk to and tea rooms at the door. Just so relaxing this place. Lots of parking. Great outdoor and indoor space to relax with complimentary beverages. We will be back one day.

Immaculate and everything is considered. Some features were absolutely unprecedented like having takeaway cups for coffee so you can take a morning coffee with you. Staff friendly and the view from the breakfast room is truly stunning. All the facilities were in great condition and the room beautifully decorated.

What guests said about Rydal:

Scored out of 10, guest rating 10

It has pros and cons.

It has pros and cons. Rydal could be difficult to get to if a road is blocked either from Ambleside or Keswick (unfortunately 2 of the 5 days we were affected). But it is still the best place to stay while in Lake District, being central and in the heart of the Lakes. Quiet and scenic, ideal for nature lovers.

The Hall was near lots of walks and trails, the coffin trail especially was a great example, Grasmere and Loughrigg outside the door, and Ambleside a bus stop away, bus stop at the door. A great Italian Vegetarian restaurant in Ambleside. Never used the car in 5 days. This place is great, ask for a garden view if possible and look out at Arts and Crafts garden designs with a grotto and waterfall.

I liked the hiking opportunities that started right at the doorstep. Also William Wordsworth's Rydal Mount was within about 200 metres uphill. As the bus stop was at the doorstep, we did not need a car at all! We sometimes walked, sometimes took the bus to Ambleside where there are several restaurants and grocery shops. In Rydal Lodge you live in the Lake District athmosphere without a need of going anywhere, but it is easy to reach any attraction you want by bus. We visited Windermere, Bowness-on-Windermere, Ambleside, Grassmere and Keswick.

The accommodation did not match our expectations based on the pictures and past reviews on booking.com. The public rooms ( lounge, library) were abysmal, with cat litter tray, damp, lack of carpets, grubby furniture etc. Then the bedrooms ( 4 in total) either showers didn’t work or had damp. Breakfast ok but shambolic- getting a pot of breakfast tea was a feat and the coffee non drinkable. All in all diabolical for the price paid (£270/room/ 2 nights). We have stayed in many places in the Lake District and can honestly say this was our worst experience.

Cabin 3 at Rydal is not a 4 star Hotel but an off grid cabin in the Hills,its a fairly strenuous walk from the car park and has no electric or running water but it is in our opinion PERFECT!!! Don't book it if you like all the creature comforts but book it if you like getting back to nature. Absolutely Awesome place. The toilets/showers are always clean and tidy,if you have a low/wide sporty car you will hate the entrance road as it is very rough, the view from Cabin 3 is also Beautiful, a really relaxing place. Roll on next year!!
