Is it suitable for children?
Yes, The Yurt and its surroundings make for a fantastic holiday for children. It also gives families the opportunity to share communal space together, which in our experience can really help build relationships. There’s also a great adventure playground a skip and a hop away for when both the kids and adults need some time apart!

We do allow well- behaved pets in one of our yurts. As dog owners ourselves we know how important it is to find somewhere that accepts every member of the family. Conditions are as followed.

Pet owners clean up after their pet and dispose of appropriately.
Pets are kept on a lead whilst at the Rydal grounds as there are grazing sheep & other wildlife on site.
Rydal Hall management has the right to ask any pet owner to leave if these 2 wishes are not respected.
Our only Yurt condition is that you bring your own bedding if your pet is likely to jump up onto the beds.
How many does each yurt sleep?
Each yurt has a double bed, twin single beds and two air matresses (with pump). The beds have pillows and duvets and freshly laundered sheets. If you are using the air matresses you will need to bring your own sleeping bag.

What’s the weather like?
The Lake District has some beautiful weather. It also rains. In the middle of winter it can be glorious and in summer it can be grey. And it can change between the two very quickly. Always expect the unexpected. Bring clothing for all conditions whatever time of year you visit. Don’t be put of by the clouds or rain. Some of the most dramatic and beautiful vistas of the Lake District are to be seen with swirling mists and cloud wrapped mountains.

Where do I park?
Don’t take the first turning into Rydal Hall. Take the second road immediately after it that runs along a stonewall at the bottom of a wood. Drive past the Rambler’s Tea Shop, over the bridge and past the houses and park in the gravel car park. It’s all sign posted. Take a look at the map on the ‘Contact Us’ page of this web site.
