Arya
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.

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!

Andrew
Location amazing - quiet, no noise from main road, great view of lake and direct access to the lovely 10 mile path all around the lake. Beds in our twin room were nice and comfy. Lovely staff. Nice breakfast. Only negative is that the hotel really needs a bit of a refurb/modernisation, but for the price it's still great value. Highly recommended
Ryan
We stayed in the family room for the weekend. The room was very clean and spacious, with a brilliant view of the lake.
The hotel is only a stone's throw away from Hellvelyn which is where we intended to visit, which was very convenient.
With the delicious breakfast it was very good value. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful as well.

A lovely old hotel, with beautiful views and very friendly and helpful staff. The bedrooms were comfortable but signs of it being tired (the towels need to be changed, cracked toilet seats, shower unit kept coming out). Lovely stay and fab breakfast… just needs a little investment
Katherine
We enjoyed our stay here in a large room with modern bathroom. All staff were very welcoming and friendly, felt homely. The breakfast was delicious. The view of the lake at the front of the hotel was stunning - we enjoyed being able to sit and watch the sunsets. Our only negative point was the poor wifi if you need it (which we did to remotely work so this was a struggle). Otherwise we would happily return.
Debra
Amazing place full of character, friendly people, great breakfast
Kim
Great location
Beautiful location overlooking Thirlmere. Lovely old building, in need of a little TLC & modernisation. Friendly staff. We stayed in a superior room, which had a recently refurbished bathroom which was good. Bed way too soft for my taste & I’d expect bigger than a double in a superior room. Breakfast was ok
Muhammad

This hotel is lovely old building with lots of charm and character. The views are amazing. Breakfast is excellent
sharron
We where upgraded to a superior room with patio, the views where spectacular, great to sit out in the morning with a coffee and see the sunset come up on the water and hills, unfortunately the soundproofing in the rooms is poor. Apart from your room there is no other facilities at this house, which we found disappointing. Breakfast was very average and small portions, which we felt a little disappointed with.
Anne
First visit, easy to find with drive on A591. Good parking. Magical setting with access to lakeside walk from gardens. Silence and darkness over Thirlemere at night, stars beautiful. Feels like staying over at home of friends in traditional not overdeveloped property. Breakfast piping hot. Will be visiting again.
Mark
The only good thing about this hoyel is the view from the front door. Rooms are old and bed clothes smell of damp. Cobwebs everywhere but the dust makes them.look worse. Furniture dates from pre war. Mattress had more bumps than a golf ball. Wifi terrible. Tv was temperamental at best. Avoid.
Julie
We only stayed one night, but its dated, makes it feel dirty, the bed felt like every spring had gone
If the price was right i would stay again, however its twice what it should be considering the facility
On a good note breakfast was lovely and the staff couldnt do enough for you.

Great staff and fantastic views, very short walk to footpath for Helvellyn. Great lake walk straight out of the back of the hotel.
Decor a little dated, but cosy and well worth the money. Breakfast is very nice as well.

Great location on the shores of Thirlmere.
Because of Covid Hotel restaurant was closed and couldn’t find a pub or Restaurant locally where you could sit down for a meal as everywhere was fully booked for the 3 nights we were there.

The beautiful gardens. Very disappointed in catering no restaurant no warning about this prior warning could have ate before arrival.. a 12 mile round trip to eat.. breakfast very poor in a bag!!! One sandwich,a croissant, tea ,and a banana.. poor value for money paid... room very dark and dingy!! Poor lighting decor poor..

Very clean as you'd expect given covid 2020. Lovely place in a superb location for the mountains. Eerily quiet so for me thats a win win.
George
We were very disappointed with our room, it was really shabby & tired looking.. although the views were spectacular.. we had to choose our grab and go breakfast before we had even finished checking in, which I thought strange. We weren’t advised when booking that the hotel dining room was closed due to COVID-19, & were told what time our breakfast would be delivered to our room, I would have liked a choice.
Ben
Amazing views
Amazing location and views across the lake. Room was a little tired and could have been cleaner.
Would have been nice to have been told the restaurant was closed before we arrived and also a note in the room about the water (from its own treatment system)

Great Location. Expensive B&B with NO Breakfast
The Location is great, our Room (No5) was perfect with an unrestricted view across to the Lake. However due to CV19 restrictions there was No Restaurant or Bar. Hotels.com which made no mention on this so I paid £200 a night for a B&B without any Breakfast. Low mark for staff as we only saw the owner on arrival when he delivered the bad news. Whilst the Room was clean the whole place needs some refurbishment (and new Carpets)
Jane
View from our room was gorgeous. The hotel was delivering breakfast to our room due to Covid, and it was lovely having our breakfast looking out onto the lake.
Couple
Booked for two nights to enjoy some walking. Stayed in four poster room 14.
Could only stay one night as our bed was so uncomfortable we barely slept and suffered back pain. The mattress was so old, cheap and uncomfortably you could actually feel the springs digging into you. Management didn’t seem too bothered about this. No apology and no offer of refund. This hotel has so much potential as one of the best locations in the lakes overlooking Thirlmere. Please, please replace your mattress.

Anniversary weekend
Dale Head Hall overall is a nice place . The room No 5 has a splendid view of the lake. We had the 4 course meal which was beautiful and well presented. The staff were friendly , however I would have to say Dale Head lacks atmosphere.. No background music either in bar area or dining area which adds a little ambience. we spent most of our time in our room.. If you want somewhere isolated , very quiet then you would like Dale Head.

Comfortable hotel with excellent lake views
Comfortable hotel and lovely room (11) with excellent garden and lake views. The hotel could have better security lighting around the car park and entrance as the hotel is in a very dark and secluded area. Whilst having lovely views, the breakfast room was quite uninspiring although the breakfast provided was very tasty. Most of the staff were very helpful and pleasant. The shower could have been warmer. However we spent a comfortable three nights at the hotel and enjoyed our short break despite the very wet weather.

Hotel managed to accommodate us (not one of their better rooms) but not a pleasant experience to turn up and not be expected. Luckily the hotel wasnt fully booked.
