    When you think of the Lake District, spectacular fells, picturesque lakes and stunning scenery comes to mind.

    Great rural location. Very relaxed friendly atmosphere.

Rydal Water

This crystal-clear lake is perfect for a waterside wander. There’s a path that skirts round the banks, winding past William Wordsworth’s old house. Here’s a tip: for the most atmospheric walks, head down just after sunrise, when the mist still hangs above the lake to create an intoxicating air of mystery.

    Lovely room, lovely view, exceptionally well located close to Rydal Water (went for a swim and a walk up the fell). Property felt slightly short staffed. Dinner was decent pub grub though served surprising quickly suggesting use of microwave
