Bassenthwaite Rydal Lodge

The whole process of booking, payment, communications, and the location was simple and straightforward. The lodge was exceptionally clean and was in a great position. We stayed for 5 nights and toured around the lake district and found the location to be ideal for easy access to Keswick and beyond. Would definitely recommend to others.

Love the Lakes

A lovely 3 night stay on Bassenthwaite Lake. Lodge was well appointed and as described in the listing. Location is remote but only 10min drive to Keswick and exactly what we wanted. Recommend The Sun Inn in Bassenthwaite for dinner and even managed a quick paddle board on (thankfully not in) an empty Lake, which was bliss. Will definitely consider staying here again.

Great stay

We loved our stay at the lodge. It was very well equipped and the location is beautiful. The hosts were super helpful with their communications. The lodge itself is a little tired looking but this didn't bother us. It was clean & tidy though. The location is very calm & peaceful but no amenities within easy walking distance. Again, this didn't bother us as we enjoyed the peace & quiet.

Stay in Bassenthwaite Lodge

It was absolutely an amazing stay. My husband and I arrived on Thursday and we spent the night there before our daughter and husband and son and partner arrived for the weekend. It was perfect, enough space for everyone, and we all felt comfortable. I will definitely book again later in the spring. Thank you very much.

Very nice. Savnat said we arrived before we reached lodges. A comment on directions that said lodge sign is somewhat hidden would be helpful. Also directions to garbage location. Would definitely stay here again.
