My wife and I have been coming to the hotel for many years and have always had the very best stay. The service, food, location, room and value for money are all exceptional. In particular, on this weekend, the usually excellent staff were even better!! It goes without saying that staff make all the difference and the New Dungeon Ghyll... More

We visited this delightful hotel last weekend in the Langdales and stayed two nights. It is a superb location for walking and not far from Ambleside or Windemere. The hotel was very clean and comfortable and also had its own grounds to sit. It was so lovely to wake up to see the mountains and sunshine and also hear the... More

First visit to hotel. Superb location for walking. The hotel was clean and the rooms and staff were very good but found the lounge and bar very cold - so for this reason did not come across as homely like other hotels we had stayed at. Even more surprising as 2 days of our 4 were very cold days outside... More

Thank you for your comments, I am so sorry that you felt cold, the heating was on but all our fires are being either replaced or refurbished in the next couple of months and have had different parts removed from each fire so they could not be used. we did this at the end of April not expecting to light...

This is a lovely hotel in a beautiful setting in the Great Langdale valley. We stayed here for two nights in May to do a bit of hill walking and to see the new lambs. When we arrived the car park was pretty full and we struggled to find a space. It didn't seem big enough for staff and guests.... More

Thank you for your lovely comments. Our car park is big enough for staff and customer cars but occasionally is used by passing walkers as the other car parks in the valley are full. We do try and monitor it but it is not always possible. Hope to see you again. More

stayed here one night, we have stayed here over many years and found standards gradually slipping, to the point where we have decided not to go back again. Charged a few pounds more than the £49.00 quoted, couldnt be bothered to complain what was the point being the girl on reception was having enough trouble trying to find my bill.... More

We were blessed with very good weather, which made this a very good stay. The rooms, while on the ageing side, were well maintained and comfortable. The (cheaper) food at the bar, which you could eat outside was very good. We didn't eat at the hotel restaurant as the bar food was very good. The grounds were also well maintained... More

Stayed here for a weekend walking in the Langdales. The setting and location of this Hotel is perfect, loads of walks without the need to drive the car a millimeter... and as well as the hotel bar and food, alternatives nearby should you fancy a change of scene.

Thank you for your great comments, most of our superior rooms have double showers and not baths, if you visit the hotel again ask for rooms 1 or 20 as they are both superior rooms with bath and shower. The fires are still roaring even though it is the first week in may!! More

Just come back from a weekend at the New Dungeon Ghyll. The room was very clean and warm. The equipment in the room was very good. Food in the restaurant was very good and priced reasonable. On the Saturday night there was entertainment in the walkers bar which was very good
