Guests say

Dale House is a spacious and well-equipped cottage set in a stunning, tranquil location with magnificent views and abundant wildlife. Guests appreciate the beautiful surroundings, ample space for groups, and easy access to local walks and attractions. While many found the property clean and comfortable, some noted areas needing maintenance, such as heating, kitchen equipment, and minor repairs. The property is ideal for those seeking a peaceful countryside retreat, though a few guests mentioned intermittent WiFi and very firm beds. Overall, the positive aspects of the setting and space outweigh the negatives.

Most guests found the property clean and tidy, though a few mentioned issues such as mould in the shower, dirty kitchen utensils, and leftover items from previous guests. These concerns were not universal but did affect some stays.

The location is widely praised for its breathtaking views, peaceful setting, and proximity to walks and local attractions. Guests consistently highlight the scenery and tranquillity as standout features.

Guests generally found the cottage spacious and comfortable, with good beds and plenty of hot water. However, some mentioned very firm beds, cold rooms due to heating issues, and minor discomforts, though these did not detract significantly from most stays.

The cottage is well-equipped for groups, but several guests noted maintenance issues such as faulty heating, broken kitchen items, and intermittent WiFi. Some facilities, like the log burner and kitchenware, could benefit from more attention.

A welcome basket with snacks and drinks was appreciated by some guests, though such gifts are not guaranteed. The provision of a cot and logs for the fire was also noted, but information on recycling and local contacts could be improved.

    Had a superb stay. First class.

    Fabulous location if you love walking, which we do. Gorgeous views. It's looked after entirely by cottages.com rather than the actual owner and we felt it was showing the lack of overall personal care with which other properties we have stayed at have shone. For example, mismatched kitchen equipment to the point of some of it being unusable - fine if you don't plan to actually cook. Beds are firm.

    Second time staying at Dale House and already looking to book again. Fabolous location with amazing views - cannot recommend enough to anyone wanting a break away from it all
