Rydal Holidays from £384

Great place with wonderful views of a lake. Good location for those with a car, not too far from the main city

easy stay - check in & out is super smooth, right in near everything you need for a city break. comfy enough and communal areas super clean - recommended!!

All was great. Room fine. Breakfast really good. Only problem was the WiFi which didn’t work very well during our stay.

The hotel was clean, spacious and welcoming. The breakfast was excellent, with lots of choice, the room was lovely, well equipped and very comfortable. The spa was really good however, as a guest I think access should be free. We were surprised we had to pay an entrance fee, and only allowed two hours to visit.

A very pleasant welcome from the staff and we quickly got to our room. No the best view, but we weren't planning on spending much time there. The beds were comfortable and you had a choice of pillows if you wanted it. The bathroom was also nice with make up pads and earbuds available - but no tissues, which I would have expected. The shower was hot and powerful but because the screen was a moveable one it meant the shower leaked and soaked the floor every day. The shower head also sprayed water out the sides; not a massive issue, but a bit annoying. There was a kettle and tea/coffee and because there was a minibar, real milk! A great touch for a tea drinker like myself. There was aircon but we couldn't put it lower than 20, which meant it was very warm at night - too warm for us. We did contact reception and they helped to override the system to make it cooler, but that was a bit of a nuisance not to be able to do it ourselves. Breakfast was very varied and good quality; from hot dishes like bacon and scrambled egg, to fresh fruit, cereals and continental items. We left fully prepared for our days out after this. We didn't have any meals in the evening here, but did go to the bar and have drinks. The staff here were really friendly and in particular the English barman we met was really helpful suggesting places to visit for sightseeing and eating. The only strange thing was that when we ordered Baileys this was served by the cl (and priced that way)?!?
