The location is stunning. Customer service is excellent.Beautiful cooked breakfast. Amazing historic building.

Beautiful hotel stunning lake views nice and peaceful surroundings very oldie worldly. Breakfast was 5 stars, staff manager just want your stay to be perfect. Will be back.

Hotel is beautiful but bedrooms need an update, but the stunning lake view did make up for that in our experience.

Great location and easy to get to. Improved WiFi would be make a big difference.Staff were very friendly and helpful and make us feel very welcome.

Room generally clean, the bed was very comfortable. Beautiful view from the window of the garden and lake . Helping Staff:)

The view, very friendly, peaceful

The water pressure in the shower wasn't very good

Absolutely amazing. Booked a room at the last minute for an impromptu trip and so glad that I chose this hotel. Due to a massive drive and some road related challenges, was delayed getting up there and managed to secure myself some last minute dinner made by the host, very kind of him to do that for me 20 minutes after the bar technically closed. The host was great to chat to for a bit and although I've seen other reviews saying that hotel is dark and spooky, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Woke up to an absolutely amazing lake view. Would have spent the whole day in my room staring at it! Breakfast was great and the staff were amazing. The room was very spacious, and I had a bath and a shower. Although the water pressure in a shower was a little weak, I made it work. The room smelt a little damp but wasn't an issue. Family run, full of history and an absolute gem by a lake. Will definitely return! Loved it and kept joking about squatting there :)

The service was helpful, polite and cheerful. The breakfast was nice and plentiful. The room was clean and tidy.Great Location.

Shower Gel hadn’t been checked and was empty in the room.Chance of an upgrade seemed a bit awkward.Key to the room had to be left inside the hotel on a set of hooks when you were out.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It was very quiet and peaceful, which made it a perfect place to relax. The food was excellent, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. My room was clean and well-maintained. The location was great, with beautiful surroundings and excellent opportunities for hiking. The views were stunning. Overall, a fantastic experience!

The welcome was very pleasant and the view of the lake was spectacular from the apartment door. The layout was good with a decent kitchen, well equipped with a full sized oven, fridge freezer and dishwasher. The bathroom had a bath and walk in shower. There was a dining table for two, plenty of storage and perfect for self catering. Outside was a small, covered patio with rattan seating and a table - perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun.It was a peaceful, beautiful spot. Near to Helvellyn , Grasmere and Keswick with a decent pub down the road.

There were a few oddities - a newish bathroom which has a full large tile missing from the wall, the towels were ragged and need replacing and we had to clean out the shower drain to prevent the shower tray from overflowing. The curtains would benefit from cleaning.

Dale Head Hall is a lovely hotel fit with everything you'll need to enjoy a few nights away in the Lake District. It's positioning means it's easy to drive to all of the hikes you could possibly want to do in no time and the actual hotel is lovely to wake up in every morning and look out on thirlmere reservoir. The staff were amazing and attentive, the breakfast was delicious and set us up well for the day but once again I cannot undersell how amazing THE VIEW is in the morning. Whether it's the moment you first open your blinds or sitting having coffee out the front of the house, it does not get less remarkable. All in all a lovely trip away for my partners birthday.

There's nothing I can think of.

Loved the room with the view of the lake, the Hotel was quirky, clean and quiet, just how I like itThe bed was so comfy,

Our view at breakfast and the items on offer were excellent, the service matched the quality of the cooked breakfast and despite being the only guests, no level of service was omitted.

As we were the only guests and we’d reserved a room twenty minutes before our arrival (19:00) the room was cold. However the bar was manned and we were content to while away some time with gin and wine until we were ready for bed. After which we found the room and facilities very comfortable.

Excellent views of the lake and very close so we were able to take a walk around the lake right from the hotel. Breakfast was good with plenty of options. The room was comfortable and clean, the hotel itself is a lovely old building with many character features.

Staff were very presentable and helpful. Friendly with us and nothing was too much trouble.

Dale Head Hall is magical. Stayed there a couple of years back and I can only say nothing has changed. Its as fantastic as it was the first time. The staff were brilliant and very attentive. The breakfast was excellent and thank you for adding the vegan option which wasn't available on our first trip. Amazingly awesome if you love your countryside experiences. No cell reception made our day. Thank you Dale and all your staff for another fantastic stay. We hope to stay again soon.

Lovely room /suite with stunning view of Thirlmere lake. Gorgeous grounds. Bed was comfy and breakfast was lovely.
