Top Rydal Water Hotel Reviews

Rothay Garth

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and warm. They accommodated an early checkin and held our suitcases for us after checkout. Victor had local knowledge of the cruises and cycle hire. Will be staying here again"

The Temperance Inn, Ambleside. The Inn Collection Group

8/10 Good

"Decent place to stay and good value for money so would recommend. No car parking which is made clear so no argument with that, however it’s worth being aware that Ambleside is busy so I ended up parking some distance away. Only negative would be the 8am breakfast time, as it was too late, so had to miss out both days. Annoyingly, the Ambleside in which is 100m away and owned by the same group is 7.30am which would have worked. Overall a decent place though"

Beck Allans Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay and a fantastic location. Friendly hosts highly recommend"

"The apartment is in a location, on the hillside, amongst trees and overlooking a wildlife pond.The onsite swimming pool was appreciated by our grandson, he loved it. Despite being on a holiday "site" it is quiet and feels secluded.It is well equipped, clean, warm and comfortable.We would not normally stay in a property on a site, and didn't realise this one was, but we would not hesitate to return."
