As usual the place goes from strength to strength. Over 24 years of staying at Rydal I’ve seen many changes and am pleased to see that improvements are still being made.
Just a note to say thank you for an absolutely beautiful week camping. I was so blissfully happy down on C5 by the stream. Everywhere was so clean and friendly and the walls and waterfalls were stunning. I fully intend to return for another week next year.
Thank you for a lovely couple of days, we have thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of our time at Rydal.
Rydal still has the ‘magic’ of relaxation and spirituality but it’s now like a quality hotel.

The whole experience of being at Rydal Hall has been very special for me – one to be treasured and I’m certainly planning to come back.
I really appreciated the Services in the Chapel and the sensitive way in which they were led, helping people to feel comfortable, whatever their spiritual background.
Both the Hall and the grounds were, for me, full of God’s presence and His peace, and this, to me was the very special thing that sets Rydal Hall apart from other conference centres I’ve stayed in.
I had a brilliant time as usual. I always love coming back to Rydal. The food is great and everyone is very welcoming.
Another lovely stay – many thanks. The food was really good, and the Hall and grounds have so much to offer.
We found the staff extremely helpful and considerate.
