    The house was a great place for our large family get away. It could do with some upgrading. The furniture was a bit grubby with a lot of marks a stains on the sofas and chairs. The kitchen area is lovely and very modern, we had to phone the out of hours service to find the cutlery as it is hidden in a secret draw, within a draw. The hot tub is a lovely touch however the few family members who used it, only stayed in for 5 minutes as they said the water was smelly and felt a bit grubby, they had to get out and shower. Overall we had a lovely stay, but it just feels like a bit of TLC is needed especially given the price we paid.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Feedback from guests is really important as it means that we can continue to improve our properties. I have passed your comments to the cleaning team regarding the sofas and chairs. The cutlery draw as you'll now know is in the top slim draw on the island in the kitchen and this information is in the guests manual which was emailed to you prior to your visit and also in the guest manual at the property so sorry if you missed that. The hot tub is emptied, cleaned, re-filled and treated before any guest arrival so I am surprised to here that you felt you couldn't use it and I wish you had called the out of hours team as they would have been able to help. I am please to hear that you had a lovely stay and once again thanks for the feedback. Kindest Regards Julie Property Owner

The property

Nestled in the charming town of Dalton-in-Furness, Cumbria, is this superbly appointed detached Victorian treasure of a dwelling, Valley View House. This property has been thoughtfully converted into a large holiday home for all types of guests wishing to explore all the delights of the Cumbrian countryside. The property benefits from a range of sitting rooms to unwind in after a long day of sightseeing, one which features an open coal fire, where you can unwind on the plush sofas with a cup of tea in hand, as your favourite show plays out on the TV. Continue through to the spacious kitchen, which has everything you could need to create your families’ favourite dishes, ready to enjoy in the large dining room. On warmer evenings, why not enjoy your meals in the expansive grounds, followed by a dip in the bubbling hot tub? After dinner, if you’re looking for a quiet space with a view, head through to the conservatory, escape to the living room with open fire, snug or take some time out I the games room, where you can challenge your loved ones to a game of table tennis, pool or a good selection of board games. The ground floor is also home to a beautiful bathroom with walk in shower, along with four bedrooms, two super-king, one double and a twin. Follow the stairs up to the first floor, where you’ll find seven further beautifully decorated bedrooms, an emporer size French-style bed with en-suite bathroom, one super-king-size with zip/link, three doubles, a family room with double and two singles, and one twin room - all of which have access to their own en-suite bathroom where you can freshen up in style! Three of the en-suites host a bath so you can have a long and relaxing soak to rejuvenate for the days ahead. While you're in the area, take advantage of your town centre location and visit Dalton-in-Furness’ selection of pubs, restaurants, and cafés for those evenings you don't fancy cooking. If you're an animal lover, you'll delight in visiting the South Lakes Safari Zoo which spans across 51-acres and is perfect for you and your little ones to enjoy a day trip to. You can explore this town's rich history at Dalton Castle, or venture further afield towards the medieval ruins of Furness Abbey. Dalton also has its own train station which can take you closer to the Lake District National Park and all its magnificent attractions. Make sure you travel towards Lake Windermere, popular for its vast amount of water sporting opportunities including sailing, fishing, and kayaking. If you're looking for more outdoor activities, Helvellyn and Scafell Pike are ideal for keen hikers, or enjoy some walks alongside any of its picturesque lakes. Literary lovers will delight in visiting Dove Cottage and The Wordsworth Museum, where the famous poet William Wordsworth once lived with his family and sister Dorothy and wrote many of his well-known poems. Valley View House is an excellent choice for a countryside retreat for a large group.

About the location

DALTON-IN-FURNESS

Ulverston 5 miles.

The ancient town of Dalton-in-Furness lies in a narrow valley on that part of the Furness Peninsula which extends deep into Morecambe Bay. Once the leading town of Furness, Dalton has a good selection of shops, restaurants and pubs. The architecture of the town includes some interesting buildings in and around the market place, as well as an elegant Victorian drinking fountain, the market cross and slabs of stone used for fish drying in the 19th century. The 14th-century pele tower, known as Dalton Castle, was originally a place of refuge for the monks of nearby Furness Abbey, an impressive sandstone ruin nestling in a peaceful wooded valley. Within easy reach of the town are the South Lakes Wild Animal Park, the world's only Laurel and Hardy museum at Ulverston and the Haventhwaite Steam Railway which runs to Lakeside, where you can board a steam train for Bowness or Ambleside. Just north of Dalton-in-Furness is the stunning Duddon Estuary and Duddon Valley, with Cartmel, Holker Hall and Grizedale Forest within easy reach. Situated on the edge of the Lake District National Park, and surrounded by mountains and beaches, this area is ideal for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers.
