    “Second visit here, both in early December.”

    . lovely cottage with amazing views of the river and countryside. The cottage has everything you need and is a perfect Winter getaway destination (and Summer I imagine).. only a 20-25 min walk to Ambleside and is well placed to walk to Rydal Water and beyond to Grasmere too. On Sykes it says dog friendly but in the cottage handbook it says no pets allowed but I think that might be an old handbook and we were fine with our little pooch.. the outside grounds aren’t secure but it was no problem ...

On Sykes it says dog friendly but in the cottage handbook it says no pets allowed but I think that might be an old handbook and we were fine with our little pooch.. the outside grounds aren’t secure but it was no problem nipping out with her for loo visits. If I had to be picky I’d possibly say a new tv would be great for next time and even a new mattress but no biggie. Looking at booking here again for our annual pre Xmas getaway next year.. loved it..

About the location

RYDAL

Ambleside 1.6 miles; Grasmere 2.7 miles.

Lying to the north of Ambleside and Windermere, Rydal is a charming unspoilt village full of history and which has changed little in the last two hundred years. Rydal Water with its shoreline walks adds an extra tranquillity to the location, which is one of the central most points of the Lake District. Home to William Wordsworth for some years there are many walks spreading out from Rydal with spectacular views. Wander along hillside paths to Grasmere, or up the impressive Rydal Fell and Nab Scar with fantastic scenery spanning as far as the hills on the west coast on a clear day. Or stroll through Rydal Park with its ancient and magnificent trees, past the thunderous waterfalls, revered by Wordsworth, and on to Ambleside with its numerous shops, restaurants and pubs to suit all tastes. Only a short drive away is Windermere with its water sports and boat cruises on Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake.

This property offers the following short breaks:
