We spent a week here and the hospitality from the staff was zero - we would not stay there again - hover bag was full when asked for new given another hover same as first full - bedding not ironed - our room was at the back of the hotel facing the kitchen and was damp - if you wanted... more

I'm slightly surprised, having looked at the other reviews, by the number of people who have thought this was either excellent or dreadful, since it seems to me to be neither. Our room was perfectly clean, and to my mind charming, with exposed beams, low ceilings and bay windows. It was somewhat poorly lit, however. The bathroom was good, but... more

We have stayed at many of the top hotels in the Lake District and rate this as one of our top 5.The view was breathtaking.The staff were very friendly and helpful.Our room was beautiful.The evening meal and breakfast were faultless.

Stayed here for a quiet weekend. We were upgraded to a beautiful room which overlooked the lake. Could not have been better, the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was lovely. Definitely come back. more

It was so cold in this place during the night that we had to move the... more

Unfortunately, for us the weather was not brilliant to go walking all weekend and hotel does not have any entertainment televisions etc) but they have wonderful... more

This is in an ideal location for exploring the whole of the Lake District. We were recommended to stay here by friends and were not dissapointed. We will definitely go again but next time hopefully we will be able to stay a little longer. This would be hard to beat and breakfast in particular, was one of the best ever. more

I was not sure what to expect when I booked this hotel. I normally stay in city centre hotels for business which tend to be bustling busy places. Dale Head Hall isn't like that, it is quite literally situated on its own, by a lake. It is also relatively small with only about a dozen or so rooms. This clearly... more
