I’ve just spent a week at Dale Garth in Oak Lodge and it was fantastic. The site is really secluded and the lodges are all put in a way that they are all very private. The lodge its self was lovely and comfortable. The beds were perfect and the showers were lovely. It had everything I needed for the week down to having salt, pepper & oil to use. Very nice to have a dishwasher and washing machine too.There’s a few places where the lodge is showing its age a touch but they didn’t have any impact on the break. Highly recommend
