The property was good and conveniently located close to the main attractions. Although it’s an older building, it had all the necessary amenities. One of the highlights was the beautiful view. We especially enjoyed having breakfast while overlooking the lakeside, which made for a lovely start to the day. The breakfast was decent—not extraordinary, but satisfactory. The property was also quiet and comfortable. However, there were a few drawbacks. The room had spider webs in several places, and we even noticed a few spiders, which made it feel less clean. The kettle was also in poor condition, with heavy stains and residue inside, so we didn’t feel comfortable using it. The complimentary biscuits were a nice touch, though. Overall, it was an okay stay—not extraordinary, but acceptable. The location, peaceful atmosphere, and beautiful lake views were definite positives, but the cleanliness could certainly be improved.

Awesome hotel, fabulous location right on the bank of the lake, very tranquil would definitely recommend for a chilled break away. Staff are very friendly and attentive and breakfast is wonderful.

Dirty rooms, the whole place is very eerie. One member of staff who tried his best to accomodate.

Beautiful lakeside hotel; lovely comfortable room and a very nice breakfast indeed.

The welcome was warm the room was comfortable and the breakfast was really good . All the staff were very helpful. Thankyou

bath tub drain was badly clogged. the liquid soaps in bathroom didnt work, had to open the top to access the soap. cups and cutleries at breakfast werent washed properly. friendly people.

An amazing stay at the Dale Head Hotel! Beautiful location and well-manicured grounds to walk around. There is access to the lake from the property, but not easily - the path is a little over-grown. The Manager, Dale, was lovely and could not have been more helpful. We were there to hike Helvellyn, and he advised us that Swirls Car park (beginning of the hike) is easily accessed from the hotel by a woodland footpath, rather than the main road, or paying for the car park. Drinks on the terrace over-looking Thirlmere lake were lovely in the evening, as were the home-cooked bar meals provided. The menu is small, but is ideal for when you return in the evening hungry and wanting something substantial. I had the Chicken & Bacon pie and my husband had the burger - both were cooked beautifully and very tasty. They also served a home-made beef stew with cheese scones, which looked (and tasted, according to other guests) amazing. A short, 5 minute walk from the hotel is The King's Head Pub on the main road, who also serve delicious food. We stayed in a 4-poster deluxe double with a lake view. The room was full of character (slanting floor - interesting!) And very comfortable - especially the bed! First time I haven't woken feeling like Ive slept on a board! Breakfast was also superb! The poached eggs were cooked perfectly each day! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would not hesitate to book again in the future. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Amazing location and really nice staff Had a long chat with owner discussing history Really recommend it for a Lake District holiday

Awesome

Dale was a tremendous help in securing a dinner for us. He gave great instructions on the hike from the hotel too. What a beautiful property and we didn’t hesitate to ask for help. Bravo
