Had a superb stay. First class.

Fabulous location if you love walking, which we do. Gorgeous views. It's looked after entirely by cottages.com rather than the actual owner and we felt it was showing the lack of overall personal care with which other properties we have stayed at have shone. For example, mismatched kitchen equipment to the point of some of it being unusable - fine if you don't plan to actually cook. Beds are firm.

Second time staying at Dale House and already looking to book again. Fabolous location with amazing views - cannot recommend enough to anyone wanting a break away from it all
