Dale Chapel is a lovely house in a beautiful location.
Dale Chapel is a lovely house in a beautiful location. Our families enjoyed all the many facilities the house had to offer, the top floor being a great place for everyone to relax, especially on a wet and windy day! The kitchen was well equipped and easily coped with large numbers to cater for, making it an easy holiday for everyone. I would recommend Dale Chapel as a great place to stay, especially at this time of year when inside space is a bonus, thank you Sam for a holiday that was enjoyed by us all.
