Hall Covid-19 Risk Assessment

Hall Covid-19 Protocol

What to do if you develop symptoms of Covid-19?

The main Hall has 30 bedrooms, sleeping up to 50 guests. Guests can choose their board basis from Bed & Breakfast, Dinner Bed & Breakfast or Full Board. Bookings can be made by groups or just private individuals looking for a break.

Each room offers simple but comfortable accommodation complementing the surroundings and character of the Hall. All rooms are supplied with bed linen, towels, toiletries, hospitality trays and free wifi. Limited number of hairdryers are available to borrow from Reception. In keeping with our primary purpose as a retreat house, bedrooms do not have televisions or telephones, but there is a television and DVD player in The Library for guests to use.

Rydal Hall is in a lovely setting with the Fairfield Horseshoe and Nab Scar as a backdrop. Some rooms have a woodland view or views of the mountains but the front rooms have uninterrupted views of the famous formal gardens and valley beyond. These rooms have a small supplement per person per night.

Most bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms; 3 rooms have private bathrooms adjacent to the room and 2 rooms share a bathroom. Guests in the 5 rooms without en-suite bathrooms are provided with a bathrobe to use during their stay.

Single, twin  and double rooms are available. In addition, there is a family room for 4 people to stay.

There is one wheelchair-accessible bedroom on the first floor with level access to an en-suite wet room. First floor rooms are accessible via a chairlift for guests with reduced mobility.

If you have any queries or any particular requirements, please let us know when making an enquiry and we will do our best to accommodate you.

"Full board" includes 3-course dinner, full cooked and continental style breakfast, lunch and mid-morning and afternoon refreshments with tray bakes.
