Dale Head Hall Lakeside Hotel, Thirlmere

The hotel offers a mix of incredible views over the lake from some rooms and modern bathrooms, but some rooms are small, tired, and not very clean. The service ranges from being welcoming and helpful to needing some extra incentive. The location provides a beautiful, peaceful setting overlooking the lake, ideal for walks. The dining experience varies, with some highlights but with rigid meal times. Overall, the stay has positives and negatives to consider.

My stay at the hotel was delightful! The warm room I stayed in was small but immaculately clean, offering a lovely view of the grounds and the lake. The tranquility was unmatched, though there were very few guests around. The location was superb, close to Windermere and Keswick, providing a great view of the lake where I loved spending my time. The dining experience was satisfying, with well-cooked meals, just with limited options. Overall, a wonderful experience worth every penny.

The hotel has stunning views over Thirlmere, with all-day walking options right outside the front door. The rooms were comfortable, though could have been cleaner and lacked a breakfast table. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the stay enjoyable. The location was lovely, offering easy access to Thirlmere lake and footpaths. The dining experience was good, although the timing was rigid. Overall, a charming place worth visiting despite a few drawbacks.
