Rydal Hall Christian Retreat

Rydal Hall Christian Retreat

10/10 Excellent
"A beautiful retreat centre in the heart of the Lake District. Fabulous continental breakfast automatically included in the stay, with the option to add a two-course dinner for £22.50. Set in amazing grounds with helpful and friendly staff. Local hikes available from the front door, and an excellent bus service (also serving Windermere station) if you want to head a little further afield. If you’re looking for a break in the central Lake District, you should seriously consider staying here."
