Dale Lodge Hotel  

The Dale Lodge is in an excellent location in the beautiful village of Grasmere. The hotel reception, lounge and restaurant are all very tastefully decorated and welcoming. The room we stayed in was a standard double which was small but pleasant, with a small en-suite, which was very nice. We ate in tweedies bar in the evening which is great for food, or just for a beer, this is a part of the hotel complex. I would happily stay again

Friendly staff

We particularly liked the beautiful reception rooms - spacious, and warm with a lovely wood burning stove. The staff were really helpful and friendly.

Reception staff very helpful, friendly & bright. Also very professional. Lodge restaurant quiet & cosy. Food good.

I called the hotel 2 weeks before my break to confirm the booking, but they had no record of the booking. The receptionist Vicky, was able to check the Booking .com website?? and was then able to confirm the booking. On arrival, we were not allocated a "Deluxe double room" as booked, but a "Mews" room which was not within the main hotel. Although this room was supposed to be an upgrade, it meant that we had to walk across to the hotel for breakfast, dinner etc when over the three days the weather was very wet & windy. Although we had this problem, I would recommend this hotel again.

Lovely, warm hotel in the centre of the lake district. The room we had was quite well decorated and comfortable, but was small. There was good tea and coffee tray, tv, and the hotel is in a fab location.

The room just needed a couple of things taking care of - for example the shelf above the sink in the bathroom was leaning so much you couldnt put a thing on there, and although it was generally very clean just a couple of things needed a bit more attention like where people had struggled with the sliding door out of the bathroom there were grubby hand marks on the paint.

The friendly staff, the ambience (except the bedroom) the location.

We are both in our eighties, carrying our luggage upto our room proved very difficult. You do not ask for complaints so suffice to say the room was certainly not deluxe. .

Room was clean love the peaceful surroundings and Tweedys bar is relaxing and we enjoyed Sat entertainment Breakfast was good lots of choice and the Dining room was bright and cosy along with the room next door.

Sat night meal in the restaurant was just average.The lighting was very dull. Had a much better meal around the corner at jumbles.

Room 7 was a very spacious deluxe room with a lovely leather sofa as an added bonus, which overlooks the gardens. The en-suite was very modern with a lovely large shower cubicle. The supplied toileteries were a lovely bonus too. Breakfast was very tasty with a good selection of hot options, plus cereals and fruit. The portion of smoked salmon and scrambled egg was huge! Would stay again!

Room 7, we think, is situated next to the staff quarters so unfortunately can be quite noisy when the staff go to bed, as the floor boards are very noisy and I think they forget guests are in the rooms they are walking past. Also there must be staff accomodation above room 7, as whoever was up there was very heavy footed. Would stay again but not in room 7!

Made to feel extremely welcome as the hotel and restaurant staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel is the perfect luxury to come back to after a hike in the marvellous surroundings.we have stayed before and knew from experience how lovely it would be.

Nothing negative to report at all

Very comfortable beds, great location, staff went out of their way to help us.

Nice hotel, helfpul and friendly staff

Value for money, good staff and Tweedies bar and food very good

Dale Lodge was an absolute pleasure. I visited with my husband, 8 month old daughter and mu husbands parents. The bedroom was excellent with lovely furnishings, food was glorious, location second to none, overall excellent. We will definately be returning soon.
