Top Rydal Water Hotel Reviews

The Swan at Grasmere - The Inn Collection group

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about our stay except that the bathroom was very small - hard to even dry off after a shower -- the space in the room was so tight. Parking was also challenging. Otherwise, lovely place with very pleasant staff. We were there during a heat wave, and a very nice staff person rounded up a fan for us. We were comfortable with the fan blowing on us all night (there is no AC but we didn't mind). The breakfast was excellent, including the vegetarian full English. Lovely outdoor seating area. Easy walk to the center of the village. I would definitely stay there again."

Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels

8/10 Good

"We stayed in the Lodge 1, it was aesthetically really beautiful! The only downside is you can hear EVERYTHING from next door, which wasn’t too bad for us because it was just TV but I can imagine if you had a rowdy next door neighbour in the lodge you’d be extremely disappointed. The Spa was beautiful and intimate it is a great escape for a couple… However, two elements of the shower didn’t work, the hydropool could use a bit of maintenance and a little bit of atmospheric music would be great (there is speakers). Besides this, it’s picturesque and relaxing facility. Breakfast here is AMAZING like 10/10 the best hotel breakfast I’ve had. You have both a continental breakfast, and you have a made to order menu. I ordered the eggs florentine and my partner ordered the porridge, both were great. This a hotel I’d definitely come back to and recommend for couples or friends looking for a relaxing getaway in the lakes :)."

The Gables Guest House

8/10 Good

"Warm welcome. Friendly and attentive staff. Tasty breakfast and clean rooms. Towels exchanged every day, same for coffee and room tea station. Good restaurant nearby but on the expensive side. There's limited parking available in front of the building. However, there's an alternative parking lot just a 2-minute drive down the road, and the owner provides a free parking permit. Please note that the WiFi is currently not functioning."

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely hotel in the heart of Ambleside. Our balcony room was in an annexe just a few steps from the main hotel. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the outdoor jacuzzi in the spa was a lifesaver in the immense heat we have just had. The food in the restaurant was lovely, breakfast was a continental buffet and hot from the menu and the dinner choice was very good and well priced."

The Temperance Inn, Ambleside. The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"Can't fault the hotel in the slightest. When we arrived, we were informed that there was loud music on that evening until 11pm. Not the end of the world, but with two young children on their last legs at that point, it wouldn't have been ideal. After informing us they had no alternative rooms further away from above the main stage, the staff were able to secure us a room at their sister hotel The Waterdge Inn. Everything was transferred seamlessly, and for no extra cost. They didn't have to do that. There was absolutely no obligation to do it, and yet they offered the chance, and they sorted it out for us. Can't rate the hotel itself, however if the facilities and accommodation are anything like he staff, then anyone would have a wonderful time here."
