With a beautiful riverside location, Rydal Lodge Hotel offers elegant Lake District accommodation, 2 miles from the centre of Ambleside. With Lake Windermere just 6 minutes’ drive away, this Cumbrian hotel offers a full breakfast menu and free parking and Wi-Fi.

We had a lovely stay at Rydal lodge. It was the perfect little getaway! Mark and Helena went out of their way to make our stay comfortable, giving us advice on where to eat and walk. Our room was comfortable and cosy. The gardens and surrounding area was beautiful, with easy access to Rydal lake. Couldn't recommend enough!

    The room (suit) was big, beds and a sitting area. It was light and the room was cosy. The room and bathroom facilities were immaculately clean.

    The Yurt was romantic and authentic, and the camping facilities were nice and clean. We can recommend trying some of "full circle holiday (https://www.fullcircleholidays.uk)" other offers. We did the, tree climbing and packhorse picnic and both experiences was amazing. Furthermore, the location is perfect for hiking in the Lake District. Beautiful and scenic hiking routes all the way around and close to Windermere, where there are lots of shops and restaurants.

    Wooden cabin was nice and cosy with the wood burner inside and open fire outside. Great views and kitchen area was simple but sufficient. Nice high ceiling and the unlimited wood (that we had to pay extra for) worked out well and allowed a fire whoever we wanted.
