“Rydal Hall offers a unique stay near Rydal Water and Grasmere, more akin to a high-end hostel with spiritual roots, but without overt religious pressure. The staff earns high praise for attentiveness, especially regarding accessibility needs. While decor may be dated, the well-maintained grounds, comfortable beds, and dog-friendly atmosphere create a welcoming environment.”
