Christine and Andrew provided the most relaxing, comfortable and clean lodges around.Their attention to detail cannot be surpassed.We had the most amazing time in The Retreat where even the odd days of rain felt totally acceptable.All local guides and tips were beautifully presented in a folder and each sheet was laminated so that they could be reviewed without any damage.The hot tub was amazing and the lodge was beautifully decorated which felt like a boutique holiday.We will definitely be back!

A lovely very large lodge, with hot tub, found it very comfortable, but found the hot tub had a strange design inside, but it may be we are too old now. Like our tubs to have proper seats.

We had such a fantastic stay at the Rydal retreat. The lodge itself was absolutely beautiful and immaculate and the views are incredible! The hot tub after a day of walking up mountains was a massive treat. I cannot fault our stay. We had a lovely welcome package on arrival too. This was our first time at the Lake District and at Avon Wood and we loved it so much we have actually booked to stay here again in April. Albeit there isnt much around unless you drive about 10 minutes, thats just what we wanted. So much peace and quiet. Also, at the very bottom of the park you can access the lake from a little slipway its so sweet. Definitely take your kayaks with you. The hosts were wonderful. Highly Recommend Avon Wood. Thank you for a lovely stay. :)

Both myself and my partner visited here for a long weekend (last week). It is honestly the most beautiful location and we couldnt have asked for better. The accommodation is immaculately presented and is spotlessly clean (perfect for someone with OCD like myself). We have never stayed anywhere as clean and tidy before. The hot tub and the views are also amazing, and so peaceful and private. The only thing that has let the holiday down is the rock hard mattress on the bed. We both struggled to sleep because of it and woke up with aches and pains. If this mattress was replaced with something softer, the Rydall Retreat would be a perfect 10 out of 10! We will most definitely be booking again though because everything else is spot on, and we have recommended this accommodation to all our friends and family. Thank you for an amazing stay!

Absolutely beautiful lodge in an even more beautiful setting. Facilities were fantastic and not needing for anything. The welcome pint of milk was most appreciated for that first cuppa after a long drive. Christine was really helpful with all the pre-visit checks so we knew exactly what to take and what to leave behind. The spa was a first but lovely to slip in to at the end of a long day's walk.If there was any kind of downside it would be that you definitely need your car to get anywhere as there are no footpaths running past the site. We did manage a short walk around site but it was very short. Would go again and would recommend ????

This was a very relaxing holiday in a very luxurious lodge . It was equipped exceptionally well with everything you would need . The hot tub was lovely and the treats in the fridge a lovely touch . We have no negative things to say as it was a fantastic holiday and even the weather played ball .

The only thing that I would recommend is to have some mattress toppers available. The bed is quite firm (which is understandable).The location of the site is perfect for getting around the lakes.The welcome pack of prosecco and chocolates is a beautiful touch.

Beautiful 3 bedroom lodge with direct view onto lake Windermere. A perfect getaway with an extremely well equipped lodge with all the everyday items you would have in your own home. It made our stay more comforting and relaxing. Would highly recommend and hope to be back soon.

A lovely quiet place to stay view over looking the lake. Only 5 mins drive to the main Bowness for boat trips shipping and sight seeing. We will definitely recommend this to anyone. The hot tub and terrace area is lovely with all mod cons inside. The owners were very thoughtful leaving gifts of milk, box of chocs, wine and Easter eggs on arrival which was lovely
