Fodor's Expert Review Rydal Hall
Rydal, Cumbria, LA22 9LX, England
This building was established as a private home in the 1600s, and William Wordsworth often used to visit on his evening walks; today the estate is comprised of a 30-room hotel, holiday cottages, a bunk house, and a campsite. Everything is powered by the estate's own hydroelectric plant. There are 30 acres of gardens and woodland plus a tea shop and a program of regular events.
PROS
- sustainably minded
- wonderful gardens
- good budget options
CONS
- fairly basic amenities
- lots of events mean it can get crowded
- dinner needs to be booked in advance
