"It was a great location. We did find the car park a little bit tight and tricky to get into (as the road was fairly busy when we arrived). The cottage was great and had all we were after and the downstairs bathroom was great for my elderly Mum. The two single beds mattresses were a bit past their best so the only thing I’d suggest to improve the property would be an update of those. Otherwise it was a great place to stay right on the river."

Top Rydal Water Hotel Reviews

Paradise in the Lake District.

8/10 Good

"Useful location and nice size place for two for a week. Hosts explained access and check in very well. Would stay again."

Rothay Garth

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff. Great location. Great breakfast. Very nice room."

Moss Grove Organic

10/10 Excellent

"Moss Grove is a fantastic B&B in the heart of Grasmere. The staff were wonderful—their “we’ll do everything we can for our guests” attitude really made our stay. The hot tub photos seen during booking however, gave us the wrong impression. It’s exclusively for the suite, with no access for other guests. We brought our bathing suits, only for them to spend the entire stay in our suitcase. A massive disappointment. What did I like…the staff!!! Breakfast and location. What didn’t I like? The hot tub we couldn’t use and the price we paid for a hub tub we didn’t have access to."

Victorian House

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Victorian house. Would definitely consider staying again if we return to the Lake District. Staff were really friendly. Breakfast was delicious. The hotel was beautifully decorated. Our little dog also enjoyed her holiday, mainly because of the sausages at breakfast! The Cake available in reception was a lovely touch."
