Glamping Yurts

We do allow well-behaved pets in Cabin 2 and Yurt 1 and 2. As dog owners ourselves, we know how important it is to find somewhere that accepts every member of the family.

You need to bring:

• Towels for showering.
• A personal torch.
• Food and refreshments.
• Battery packs for your devices.

Yes, the accommodation 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.

We provide a tea towel for drying your dishes but you need to bring your own towels for showering.

PET RULES

• Pet owners must clean up after their pets.
• Pets must be kept on a lead/tether whilst at the Rydal Hall grounds as there are grazing sheep & other wildlife on site (There is a wood 100m away where they can exercise off the lead).  Rydal Hall Management has the right to ask any pet owner to leave if these rules are not respected.
• No pets on the beds.
• Cleaning of pets feet on entering the dwelling.
• No more then two pets allowed per dwelling.

If you want to bring food, you will be able to cook in the accomodation.  We provide a double gas hob, a grill and the utensils you will need.  We have an on site freezer, accessible only in the summer seasion, if you want to bring a cool pack to chill food in the cool boxes.

There are pillows, duvets and freshly laundered cotton sheets for the double and single beds.

Oh yes, we supply as much free fire wood as you require and all accommodation units are very well insulated.  We promise you will be toasty warm, as long as you tend your fire!

The accommodation door can be locked and you will be given a key.  However, you are in a secluded corner of a retreat centre, away from any footpaths and are unlikely to be disturbed, we advise you to keep any valuables locked in your car.  We assume no responsibility for the loss of your possessions.

There is a purpose built toilet and shower block that is cleaned regularly and is situated just 3mins from your door.

When you have checked in at Rydal Hall Reception, which is the first turning on the right, take the second road on the right immediately after it (marked 'Alternate route' on the map).  The road runs along a stone wall at the bottom of a wood.  You will go through a gate and drive past the Rambler’s Tea Shop, over the bridge, past the houses and turn left up slope then park in the gravel car park.
