Rydal Lodge

The location was fabulous. The hotel made us very welcome despite difficulties.

The host was not well but the staff stepped in.

Spacious room with lovely garden and river view. The owner was friendly and very helpful. It's a great location with Rydal Water just a short walk and both Grasmere and Windermere nearby.

A gorgeous stay with antique charm. The host Iain was very welcoming, helpful with local advice and we enjoyed having lovely chats with him at breakfast. The breakfast was varied (full english, cereal, fruit, toast etc.) and all tasted super. It was particularly nice to have so many options that were local produce. The hotel was good value for money and is set in the most beautiful location surrounded by natural beauty and close to Rydal Lake and Rydal Caves only a 20 minute walk away. We would definitely recommend!

Excellent location for our trip as only 2 miles from Grasmere. The room was an adequate size for a short trip, the bed was comfy enough and the water temperature and pressure was great. The breakfast was very good and the car parking was ideal. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The windows block out about as much sound as a paper bag would, so you get a lot of road noise. Some of the locations of things in the room were peculiar like the coat hooks over the bedside table would have been more appropriate near the door. The place needs a vacuum cleaner running round it, and just generally in need of some TLC.
