Top Rydal Water Hotel Reviews

The Swan at Grasmere - The Inn Collection group

10/10 Excellent

"A treasure and a pleasure."

The Temperance Inn, Ambleside. The Inn Collection Group

10/10 Excellent

"Charming establishment with very friendly staff."

The Daffodil Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast staff were brilliant!"

Rothay Garden by Harbour Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and clean, bath robes and slippers, complementary drinks, tea and coffee machine in the room. The bed was very comfortable and big and the shower pressure was amazing. They have a small spa, sometimes there's no one in there and you can have it all to yourself. It was a charming place and probably one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in. Special thanks to the staff, who are caring and always happy to help. Cannot wait to visit again."

Rothay Garth

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely staff. Really helpful."

YHA Grasmere Butharlyp Howe - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"YHA Grasmere is a massive, well-maintained property with a really great team of staff. The kitchen and dining areas are huge and spotless, and having plenty of showers on every floor means you never have to wait around. The rooms, showers, and toilets were all kept very clean. Just a couple of minor maintenance issues: the light fixture above the mirror in my room didn't work, and one of the toilets took a few tries to get it to flush properly. Aside from those small quirks, everything else was really good and it's a solid place to stay in the Lakes."
