About this property

Tucked away in a peaceful position on the grounds of the owner’s home on the outskirts of the pretty village of Ingleton rests this fantastic single-storey holiday home, Dale's Lodge. Enveloped in scenic meadows and set a stone's throw away from the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Dale's Lodge makes for an idyllic base to explore the delights of this captivating region. Follow the track road through the extensive well-kept grounds and park up in your private car park nestled at the foot of this remarkable dwelling before unloading your bags and making your way inside. Kick off your muddy walking boots and hang your walking gear in the handy boot room before venturing through to the open-plan living space to recount the days adventures over a well-deserved glass of wine. The fully-equipped kitchen tucked away in the corner of the sociable space houses a number of modern amenities, giving guests the choice to cook separately or prepare a heart-warming meal for the entire group. Carry your conversation outdoors and soak in the peaceful setting of your home-from-home as you toast your favourite tipple to an unforgettable countryside retreat, enveloped in the scenic views across the surrounding countryside. Following an action-packed day, prepare for bed with a rejuvenating rinse in the shower room, fit with three separate shower cubicles so there's no queues if you're traveling with a larger group, as well as a handy wet-room with grab rails, ideal for assisting guests with limited mobility. When sleep calls, enjoy a sleepover with your guests as you pick your bunk in one of the four quirky bunk rooms, or escape the excitement and retire to either of the two double rooms, both benefiting from their own en-suite shower room for an invigorating steam. Get better acquainted with your surroundings and take a scenic stroll through the extensive grounds that envelop the property, home to a remarkable stretch of tranquil countryside as well as a thrilling outdoor activity centre, promising a fun-filled day out for the outdoor adventurers of the group. A short walk from your doorstep will bring you into the heart of Ingleton where you'll find a host of local amenities to assist with you self-catering needs; indulge in a spot of pub grub at the family-run Masons Freehouse, toast a pint of cask ale in the quintessentially English setting of The Craven Heifer or pick up some last-minute ingredients at the well-stocked convenience store to prepare a hearty meal from the comfort of your holiday home. Make a splash at the seasonal outdoor swimming pool, explore the fascinating subterranean cavern of White Scar Cave, the UKs longest show cave, or follow the trail to Thornton Force Waterfall and marvel at the breath-taking water as it tumbles 50ft down the rockface. Lace up your walking boots and take on The Yorkshire Three Peaks, a challenging hike to the summit of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, collectively known as The Three Peaks, totalling a route of 24 miles and 5200ft of ascent; can you complete all three mountains in under 12 hours? Venture further afield and visit the popular tourist town of Kendal, home to a fascinating selection of museums and art galleries as well as a host of attractions worth visiting, including the medieval remains of Kendal Castle, the well-maintained 18-hole course at Kendal Golf Club, or partake in a course at Woodmatters to create a handmade keepsake to take home. Whether you're looking for a base for a group celebration or an adventure, choose Dale's Lodge.

Resting on the western edge of the Yorkshire Dales and under Ingleborough mountain rests the attractive village of Ingleton. The narrow winding streets are home to a fabulous range of shopping opportunities and eateries, offering all of the essential amenities to ensure an enjoyable self-catering experience. There's plenty to keep you entertained, with a climbing wall, a seasonal heated outdoor swimming pool and a plethora of walking, cycling and hiking opportunities from your doorstep.

    Sam the Owner was also incredibly helpful with tips for the local area and we would definitely stay again. Thank you so much for having us!

  • John

    The lodge is just perfect for large groups. Our daughter said "This was the best holiday ever!" Ingleton village has something for everyone. Our group ranged in age from 3yrs to 80+ and we all enjoyed our stay. Thanks Sam and Craig .

    However additional storage either externally or in the dorms needed. Industrial ovens need to be added to cope with large groups, along with a purpose-built drying room as the current one isn't sufficient to cope with large parties. One other addition would be an up-to-date smart TV as we ended up purchasing our own for entertainment in the evening due to inclement weather.
