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.

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!

He gave great instructions on the hike from the hotel too.

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

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

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.

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
