The area is perfect for walkers of all ages and abilities, with several footpaths leading from the village. The Pennine Way passes through the village and half an hour’s brisk walk brings you to Low Force, the first of a series of spectacular waterfalls in the area. One of Middleton’s attractions is High Force Waterfall, England’s largest single-drop waterfall, and there’s a lovely walk popular with families here. The area offers an abundance of walking and cycling for all abilities. Grassholm reservoir is nearby for fishing and sailing. The splendid scenery encourages all kinds of outdoor pursuits, from cycling along the C2C route and cross-country hacks, to watersports and wonderful walks.

Lovely location and very well equipped. Village has everything you would need for a break. Due to it being a Chapel the noise echoes a bit and it is a bit tricky to keep the heat even across all floors/rooms but these are not really issues. We liked it a lot.

We recently returned from a long weekend in Dales Chapel and had the most amazing time. The accomodation has everything that you need and lots of space for a large group. The games room was a bonus and kept some of our group entertained during our stay. The village has everything you need for a short stay, we even tried the local pub for Sunday lunch which was lovely and I would recommend.Fantastice break in a lovely viillage and we will definitely be back.

The children loved it and we hardly saw t hem all weekend apart from mealtimes. It was ideal for my husband as there was a bedroom on the ground floor. We had a lovely weekend with the family for our 50th wedding anniversary.
