Comfortable bunkhouse in Rydal in the Lake District
A bijou 2 person bunkroom in the magnificent setting of Rydal Country House B&B in the heart of the Lake District. Situated in the sleepy hamlet of Rydal it is surrounded by stunning mountain scenery and great walking, while the bustling town of Ambleside is a stroll away.
Created from the old cafe, the bunkroom is beautifully appointed. There's a small kitchen unit with microwave, toaster, fridge & kettle, one set of bunks, a dining table for 2 and a small en suite shower room. Up to 2 dogs are welcome too.
Additionally there is a small touring caravan with a double bed, separate lounge, fully equipped kitchen, compact shower room/WC, private patio & on-site parking for one.
All linen & towels are provided, guests are asked to make and strip their own beds.
Guests are welcome to use the facilities of the main house which has an honesty bar, lounges, a mass of local information, maps, local routes, board games and a small library. Outside there are extensive grounds leading down to the River Rothay, perfect for a relaxing evening after a busy day exploring the lakes.
The area is a walker’s paradise. A 5 minute walk away is scenic Rydal Water amidst spectacular mountain scenery – why not take a dip or spend a day fishing? A 20 minute walk away are the atmospheric Rydal Caves. The Fairfield Horseshoe and Loughrigg are on the doorstep and the slopes of Helvellyn are just a 5 minute bus ride away. Wordsworth’s Home – Rydal Mount – is well worth a visit and is only a 3 minute stroll from the doorstep.
