Set in the idyllic grounds of Rydal Hall, family and friends are welcome to get together and easily explore all that the Lake District has to offer, from lazy lake cruises to tree top adventures. Set in over 30 acres of garden, woodland and natural beauty in the Lake District UNESCO World Heritage Site, Rydal Hall is the ideal venue for retreats, activity weekends or just a family holiday. With wonderful views over the Rothay Valley and with the Fairfield Horseshoe and Nab Scar as a backdrop, the Hall and its grounds are the perfect place to enjoy this beautiful part of the world. Both Ambleside and Grasmere are a short journey away and make for a delightful amble, 2 and 3 miles respectively via footpath or fell. Enjoy the local and friendly nature of the villages where you have a selection of boutique shops, bars and restaurants to peruse at your leisure.

After collecting your keys, you are welcomed into the spacious and cosy home from home. On the ground floor, you can find the first lounge, complete with a wood burner and plush sofas. The open-plan kitchen/dining room makes for a great space to get the whole group together and discuss the day's events. Fully equipped with a utility room with washing machine and dryer. On the same floor, the snug makes for the perfect place for some quiet time away from the rest of the group, with plenty of books on offer you can sit back and enjoy listening to the river flow nearby. Upstairs, each of the four bedrooms beckon you for a good night's sleep, offering views over the manicured grounds to the fells beyond. With a mixture of en-suites and a family bathroom, the whole group can get themselves ready for the day's adventure without fuss.

The private patio to the rear of the property is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine whilst overlooking the river. Beyond this, you are free to roam the shared gardens and acres of woodland. If you can tear yourself away from these beautiful grounds, the fells and lakes can be found on your doorstep.

There is so much good about this property. The location is unbeatable. Easy walks to Ambleside and Grasmere. Bigger walks to Loughrigg Fell - or the great Fairfield Horseshoe. All without needing the car. Regular bus route. Great pub close by with good ales and excellent food. Issues - of which we had a couple that were typical of country propertRead moreies - were dealt with promptly and taken seriously. The house is not really luxurious but is spacious, comfortable and well and generously equipped. No private garden but this is well compensated for by the use of the Halls beautiful garden and grounds. Internet access is undoubtedly a frustration. Hide

Lovely cottage in a fabulous location. It was very convenient for lots of lovely walks, some wild swims and easy access to Ambleside for any bits and pieces you might need. I loved having the tea room so close too.

Internet only worked ok in a couple of rooms, however with a family it needs to work well in most of the house. It didnt work at all in the main lounge. In this day and age good internet connection is expected. After saying that it is a lovely house in a great location and would stay again.
