The only good thing about this hoyel is the view from the front door. Rooms are old and bed clothes smell of damp. Cobwebs everywhere but the dust makes them.look worse. Furniture dates from pre war. Mattress had more bumps than a golf ball. Wifi terrible. Tv was temperamental at best. Avoid.
3.0
We only stayed one night, but its dated, makes it feel dirty, the bed felt like every spring had gone
If the price was right i would stay again, however its twice what it should be considering the facility
On a good note breakfast was lovely and the staff couldnt do enough for you.
5.0
Great staff and fantastic views, very short walk to footpath for Helvellyn. Great lake walk straight out of the back of the hotel.
Decor a little dated, but cosy and well worth the money. Breakfast is very nice as well.

Beautiful property in a quiet location right on the lake. The bedrooms/bathrooms could do with a bit of a refresh but apart from that we had a lovely stay.
4.0
Great location on the shores of Thirlmere.
Because of Covid Hotel restaurant was closed and couldn’t find a pub or Restaurant locally where you could sit down for a meal as everywhere was fully booked for the 3 nights we were there.

The beautiful gardens. Very disappointed in catering no restaurant no warning about this prior warning could have ate before arrival.. a 12 mile round trip to eat.. breakfast very poor in a bag!!! One sandwich,a croissant, tea ,and a banana.. poor value for money paid... room very dark and dingy!! Poor lighting decor poor..
5.0
Best location - right on lake - with lake view rooms
very nice Quiet - feels private your own lake
very nice walk
unfortunately the Restorant was closed due to covid-19 but with Restorant working you do not need anything else
it is totally self contained place right on lake
we will always go there .

Over all stay was nice, breakfast was lovely, all Covid-19 measures were taken very well. Location is wonderful.

Very clean as you'd expect given covid 2020. Lovely place in a superb location for the mountains. Eerily quiet so for me thats a win win.

We were very disappointed with our room, it was really shabby & tired looking.. although the views were spectacular.. we had to choose our grab and go breakfast before we had even finished checking in, which I thought strange. We weren’t advised when booking that the hotel dining room was closed due to COVID-19, & were told what time our breakfast would be delivered to our room, I would have liked a choice.
2.0
Amazing location and views across the lake. Room was a little tired and could have been cleaner.
Would have been nice to have been told the restaurant was closed before we arrived and also a note in the room about the water (from its own treatment system)
1.5
The Location is great, our Room (No5) was perfect with an unrestricted view across to the Lake. However due to CV19 restrictions there was No Restaurant or Bar. Hotels.com which made no mention on this so I paid £200 a night for a B&B without any Breakfast. Low mark for staff as we only saw the owner on arrival when he delivered the bad news. Whilst the Room was clean the whole place needs some refurbishment (and new Carpets)
2.0
View from our room was gorgeous. The hotel was delivering breakfast to our room due to Covid, and it was lovely having our breakfast looking out onto the lake.
1.0
Booked for two nights to enjoy some walking. Stayed in four poster room 14.
Could only stay one night as our bed was so uncomfortable we barely slept and suffered back pain. The mattress was so old, cheap and uncomfortably you could actually feel the springs digging into you. Management didn’t seem too bothered about this. No apology and no offer of refund. This hotel has so much potential as one of the best locations in the lakes overlooking Thirlmere. Please, please replace your mattress.

Dale Head Hall overall is a nice place . The room No 5 has a splendid view of the lake. We had the 4 course meal which was beautiful and well presented. The staff were friendly , however I would have to say Dale Head lacks atmosphere.. No background music either in bar area or dining area which adds a little ambience. we spent most of our time in our room.. If you want somewhere isolated , very quiet then you would like Dale Head.
2.0
Comfortable hotel and lovely room (11) with excellent garden and lake views. The hotel could have better security lighting around the car park and entrance as the hotel is in a very dark and secluded area. Whilst having lovely views, the breakfast room was quite uninspiring although the breakfast provided was very tasty. Most of the staff were very helpful and pleasant. The shower could have been warmer. However we spent a comfortable three nights at the hotel and enjoyed our short break despite the very wet weather.
2.5
Hotel amenities and lake views excellent. Staff welcoming, professional and helpful.

Breakfast excellent
Bed comfy but too low

We ran up Helvellyn from this location and it was great. 2.5 miles to the top. Also good options for running around Thirlmere.
