Valley View in Lancashire | Cottage With a Hot Tub

About Valley View

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 a log 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 familiesâ€™ 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 youâ€™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 youâ€™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-Furnessâ€™ selection of pubs, restaurants, and cafÃ©s for those evenings you don't fancy cooking.

Valley View Reviews

Barbara

We had a great weekend celebrating my 70th with all my family a lovely property ... We had a great weekend celebrating my 70th with all my family a lovely property to stay in plenty of room for all of us The games room was great too

Valley View in DallyoninFurness was one of the best stays we've had in Cumbria! Even though we saw some negative reviews beforehand, we couldnt find any real faults. If I had to be extra critical, maybe having some coffee powder or kitchen towels wouldve been nice, but everything else was perfect. The space is ideal for 24 people, with lots of room for the kids to run around. The kitchen and dining area were fantastic, and it truly felt like a home away from home. The number of bathrooms was great, and the hot tub was a standout! Plus, the property is wellbuilt so sound doesnt carryanother big bonus. Highly recommend for large groups looking for a comfortable, spacious retreat!

Alison

No oven gloves, no large pots, not enough storage in one of the ground floor bedrooms and one on of the upstairs bedrooms, grass not cut, but otherwise fabulous.

Nazmul

This property has huge potential and overall as we made do with what we had we were happy with our stay. However unfortunately there were a number of issues which arent really acceptable in a stay of this size. 1. Firstly the cooker was out of action. We were given small electric conductors which kept cutting out and simply didnt provide enough heat for the large pots we were trying to cook in 25 people. The camping gas conductors were an improvement but the 4 gas canisters finished in no time. The engineer was unable to fix the cooker even though we were told it would be fixed on the third day. 2. The boiler was not working on arrival. The downstairs and 2 bathrooms upstairs did not have hot water. People shared bathrooms in the first night but this was inconvenient. 3. After the plumber came to fix the boiler we still had no use of the thermostat to put the heating on. It was cold for August with a storm most evenings. Despite being told the electrician would come we heard nothing for the rest of the stay. 4. Unfortunately certain parts of the house were not properly cleaned on arrival I.e downstairs bathrooms. 5. The conservatory room started leaking on our final night. Albeit there was a pretty bad storm but it did leave a large puddle in the morning. 6. The shower pressure in most bathrooms was poor and also the bathtub in many didnt drain quick enough. 7. There wasnt enough toilet roll for the number of bathroomsguests. These were the main issues. In reality we think we should be compensated c.10 of our costs for these problems.

Valley View is one half of a converted hotel in the middle of the unpretentious town of Dalton, just 5 minutes drive from the stunning Cumbrian coast. It is incredibly spacious and whilst some of bedroom furniture and general woodwork could do with updating, the decor is generally in keeping with a grand old hotel. Highlights include a fabulous games room, multiple lounges and an enclosed garden. The large kitchen could really do with a second fridge and a new cooker hob. Yes, there were some issues which are to be expected with a property of this size and age the conservatory roof leaked and the power tripped on a couple of occasions but the maintenance team dealt with each of our calls within the hour. At over 8k for a week in August, I think the price point was a little high, compared to similar properties I have stayed in. But overall, Valley View is a wonderful property for a large, multigenerational gathering within a short drive of a stunning National Trust beach and also close to the Lakes.

We had a fantastic weekend, the house was exactly what we were looking for and did not disappoint. It was extremely spacious and catered for all needs. We particularly enjoyed the games room and hot tub. It was lovely to be able to eat together at the spacious table overlooking the beautiful garden. The only thing that could be added is another fridge as the one provided wasnt really big enough for the amount of people we had.

Richard

Overall the house was good. The downstairs communal areas were excellent and easily accommodated our extended family of 24. The kitchen, dining, cosy lounge and games room were in constant use and felt very comfortable. The single large fridge we found to be in adequate for our group and in the Summer we're sure it would certainly not cope with drinks and food. The showers were pretty useless and believe there was only one that was ok out of the 7 on offer.

We spent the weekend here to celebrate my Wife's 50th birthday with her family and friends. overall our experience was satisfactory and the house games room and large kitchen were the highlights. We found the various hot water systems a little confusing to be honest and there were issues with running hot water in all rooms consistently so we had to share bathrooms to allow people to shower which was not ideal The heating systems didn't seem to work consistently either with the right side of the house feeling cold games room side even though the hive thermostat indicated the heating was working We used all the fire logs we bought and ended up purchasing more from Booths to keep warm We also had issues with the lighting games room area and electric showers with a call out required for some mains breaker switches to be reset by the emergency weekend support team

Christian

We had high expectations of the property from the pictures on the listing. Upon arrival however even our lofty expectations were exceeded the place is spectacular. Valley View is a massive property, and the facilities are fantastic. The hot tub is massive and modern and fit for a large party. The beds are all large, clean and brand new, the dining facilities were just brilliant, and we had a fantastic meals across the large dining area. The kitchen itself was also tremendous. It was myself who arranged our trip, but every person from our large party personally congratulated me on my choice of housing for our trip. Everyone was blown away with the place. We will definitely be coming back in the future. Thank you to all the staff who had the place looking pristine upon our arrival, we had a very memorable weekend

This property is truly amazing! I spent time there for my 70th birthday with 18 members of my family. It was so spacious we could all get together in one very large and comfy lounge and their were several other lounges and a games room for when we wanted to sit in smaller groups. My 3 year old grandson had the time of his life roaming around and playing in all of the rooms. The dining facilities were fantastic and we could all dine together very comfortably. The gardens were beautiful and the younger members of the family had a great time using the immaculately clean hot tub even though it was October and the weather was cold. Everyone who worked at the house or for Sykes were so welcoming and friendly to deal with. We just loved the house and were sad to leave it.

Carolyn

This property has not been described correctly. It has NOT been fully refurbished and is not secure to the standard that we expected. There was rubble, paint tins, weeds and dog mess in areas of the garden when we arrived. The property and grounds are not secure and we had people looking in the windows, walking in the garden and even entering the hall to enquire if it was a caf! The kitchen tap fell apart, a shower was not working at all and others were too hot and couldn't be adjusted. The curtains in one bedroom were tied up with string, headboard broken and sticky mess on carpet. The conservatory roof leaked and the windows painted shut. Other windows elsewhere were nailed shut. A small piece of plaster moulding on the ceiling fell down. A Door handle fell off in one bedroom door trapping people inside and the external door handle to the kitchen was missing. There has been some refurbishment such as to the kitchen, some of the bathrooms and some bedrooms but the property is still in need of a general overall.

Momchil

Very bad experience . Perfect size property. We feel like we are in the building side because of the work that is unfinished. Disturbing nouse from the building work on Sunday around the property . No privacy at all. The main view is the rubbish from the building work all around the property . Inside had newly installed kitchen. But the rest of it was very old fealty or new but unfinished. Bedroom with no windows it is ok but you should have some sort of ventilation to provide air in the room, or shared bathroom with no locks

Patricia

We had a wonderful stay at valley view with family and friends and would definitely recommend. The family area was huge and ideal for family gatherings. It would have been nice if there was some basic refreshments and condiments such as tea, coffee salt and pepper available to us. We encountered a few maintenance issues during our stay including a lack of hot water to some rooms and the hot tub only working on one side. We were subsequently advised that these issues were resolved after we had left.

There was no lock in any room As well as common bath room no lock Some room hot water was missing

Mr Wayne Hassell

We booked Valley View House for my wifes 70th birthday and what a brilliant stay we enjoyed. The house is very well presented and warm as toast as we arrived. The property manager was so very helpful and ensured our stay went smoothly. All our guests enjoyed a fabulous stay. We held a Murder Mystery weekend what a brilliant house to host such an event. Everyone went away rested and fulfilled, our happy time here will be fondly remembered forever thank you Valley View House

Mr William Tivendale

We had a wonderful stay celebrating a 50th birthday party. Valley View is a lovely place for a family gathering. The place was immaculate, large and spacious. It has be renovated just recently. All beds were extremely comfortable and looked to have brand new bedding. The kitchen is also brand new and is so big you will have trouble finding things because there is so much storage but it is all there! There are many things to do inside and places to visit just a short car ride away. The hot tub will be cold when you arrive as the water is changed for each new client. But the next morning it will be piping hot. The property has large gardens perfect for outdoor fun if you get the weather. There are 2 pubs, a Chinese take away and the CoOp are all just a 5 minute walk away. We had a fantastic time in Valley View and would recommend it for any large gathering of people.

My Dave Staley

Wow. Lots of character in this huge holiday home. Plenty room for everyone. Stayed here for my daughters 21st celebration and it was perfect. Games room went down a treat. Huge dining area connected to the kitchen doubled up as party central. Just a stroll to a great choice of pubs restaurants. Great setting for a get together.
