Clare Honey
A spacious, well equipped home from home with secure garden! We went as a couple with two dogs but it’s plenty big enough for a family of four & there’s extra room for a travel cot in the main bedroom. As mentioned drive entrance is very tight but we managed the left turn easily by going slowly, swinging across the road before turning; the space in front of the property allows for a 3-point turn enabling you to drive out when you leave —- please do not let this put you off as the privacy it affords is 2nd to none! The garden furniture is a little tired & an outside washing line would’ve been useful but inside has absolutely everything you need. It is a very warm property & I normally feel the cold! Two minute walk to the high street which has variety of takeaways, pubs & a well equipped supermarket! Would highly recommend.

Cosy and comfortable home from home. Great garden for the dog, properly secure with good fencing. Dalton is a lovely little town with everything you need. A perfect base for exploring the coast and the South Lakes.
