Guests say
Daleside Lodge receives high praise for its beautiful countryside location, spacious and well-equipped lodges, and relaxing hot tubs. Guests frequently mention the cleanliness and comfort of the accommodation, as well as the helpfulness of the staff. While some furnishings and mattresses are noted as needing updates, and a few minor maintenance issues are mentioned, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return. The thoughtful touches from the owners and the peaceful setting make it a popular choice for families, couples, and groups seeking a relaxing break in Yorkshire.
Most guests found the lodges clean and tidy, with several reviews specifically praising the cleanliness. However, a few guests noted issues such as cobwebs, marked sofas, and the need for a more thorough clean in some areas, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is consistently described as beautiful, peaceful, and ideal for exploring Yorkshire. Guests appreciate the countryside views, proximity to local pubs, and the tranquil setting by the lake.
Many guests found the lodges spacious, cosy, and comfortable, with some highlighting the beds as particularly restful. However, there are repeated mentions of mattresses and sofas being worn or uncomfortable, which impacts the overall comfort score.
The lodges are well-equipped with amenities such as hot tubs, washing machines, and kitchen appliances. Guests enjoy the high-spec fittings and spacious layouts. Some minor issues with maintenance, such as tired furniture, spongy bathroom floors, and limited utensils, are noted but do not detract significantly from the overall experience.
Guests appreciated thoughtful gestures such as the heating being turned on for late arrivals and helpful, responsive staff. While some reviews mention these touches, it should be noted that such gestures, including any gifts or extras, are not guaranteed for all guests.
