Guests say
Daleside Lodge offers a relaxing countryside retreat with beautiful views, spacious and well-equipped lodges, and a welcoming atmosphere. Guests consistently praise the cleanliness, comfort, and the luxury feel of the accommodation, especially enjoying the hot tub and peaceful surroundings. The staff are noted for being friendly and helpful. While some furnishings and maintenance aspects could benefit from updates, and a few amenities could be improved, the overall experience is highly positive, making it a popular choice for families, couples, and groups seeking a memorable getaway in Yorkshire.
Most guests found the lodge very clean and tidy, with only a few minor mentions of cobwebs or tired furnishings. The overall impression is of a well-maintained property.
The location is frequently described as beautiful, peaceful, and ideal for exploring Yorkshire, with lovely countryside views and proximity to local attractions and pubs.
Guests generally found the lodge spacious, cosy, and comfortable, with particular praise for the beds and living areas. A few noted issues with mattresses or creaky beds, but these were exceptions.
Facilities such as the hot tub, kitchen appliances, and general amenities are highly appreciated. Some guests mentioned minor maintenance issues (e.g., tired furniture, spongy bathroom floors, missing utensils), but these did not significantly detract from their stay.
Guests appreciated thoughtful touches like pre-heated lodges and helpful staff. While some reviews mention small gestures, such as heating being turned on before arrival, these are not guaranteed for every stay.

Really enjoyable break, cabin cosy, comfortable and well equipped plus the hot tub was great with privacy and very warm on a freezing cold night. We stayed in Daleside Lodge #32 and feel the bathrooms need some TLC as the floors are very spongy in places it also appeared that there had been some recent water damage to the floor in the hall way, Also some of the bases of the wine glasses were chipped which resulted in cuts whilst washing them up. Short walk to local pubs and very small village shop.

Warm and cosy lodge. Wonderful and private, hot tub so relaxing. Perfect winter break. Felt so at home after many visits we didn’t venture out this time at all!
