"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. :)"

"Beautiful Perfect place to relax after a day of exploring"

"Very good all round and have booked for next year"

"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."

"Can not fault this holiday in any way. The area is amazing and the accommodation was just as good."

"Too far away from amenities .had to use our car every day just to get anywhere."

"Back from another week at Avon Wood. We love visiting, this was our fourth time. As per previous visits, the lodge was spot on - all the equipment you can think of. Christine and Andrew are so helpful and kind. I would recommend Avon Wood to all. Thank you !"

"A wonderfully comfortable Lodge with everything needed."

"An excellent, clean and tidy lodge. The hot tub was well received by myself and my wife. Would stay here again if we holidayed in the Lake District."

"Gummers How is pretty much faultless - its modern, clean and is stocked to the brim with everything you could need. It's very private, which is good for a lodge with a hot tub, and has an impressive view of the lake. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and believe its excellent value for money."

"Excellent, highly recommended."

"Superb and would recommend to anyone"

"We are a family of 5 and stayed in Blakeholme lodge for a week. The lodge was immaculate on arrival, and very well equipped. The living room is spacious and comfortable.

"This is a lovely Lodge in a truly beautiful location. We enjoyed a very friendly welcome, and are only sorry that illness meant we had to leave early. Would recommend without hesitation."

"One word Excellent"

"Having stayed before there is little more to add. It still remains a fantastic place to stay on a very well run site. As usual it was immaculate on arrival. So far we have never bettered it anywhere and we suspect this will remain the case."

The area around the lodge is lovely to walk around even if you don’t fancy venturing out any day, I really enjoyed taking my children down by the water just to relax :)"
