    The presentation of the stunning grounds and the backdrop of hills and mountains made the stay exceptional. It was a very quiet setting - very desirable away from busy lifestyle. The attached cottage cafe added to the pleasure of staying in the hall. The evening menu was substantial and nicely presented. All staff were very courteous and went the extra mile to help make us welcome. The bus transport made access to local towns very appealing.

    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.😍😍😍
