    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.

    A very quiet and peaceful hotel ideally placed for walking in the lake district. The hotel grounds and waterfalls are worthy of a visit in their own right.

    Best thing about Rydal hall is its building, gardens and location. Fantastic views from my room window. Short walks to rydal fall and rydal caves. Very peaceful and quiet area. Cannot ask for a better location for a short stay.😍😍😍

    Beautiful location, really good for local walks and easy to get to Ambleside and Grasmere. Lovely and quiet site with nicely spaced out yurts and cabins so you don't feel over looked.
