Langdale Hotel & Spa

Stayed in the Roomy Lakeland Signature Room, for 2 nights.||check in was easy, reception staff were super helpful and made sure we knew all we needed to get around the estate.||Room was excellent. great entrance area to get rid of walking gear/wet clothes. Bed's very comfy, bathroom was great too, hydro bath was a nice feature.||Breakfast was excellent, no complaints at all. We ate out for other meals. ||Pool, etc was really good, we didnt use the spa. ||The whole hotel and estate is really nice. could spend hours just walking around. quite a unique setting||Wainwrights pub was great, food was excellent.|Brittania pub is very nice too. both within 5 min walk||Lanty Slees bar about 5 mins away too, really nice cocktails.

Having driven past the hotel many times I thought I would treat myself to a stay in one of the self catering timeshare lodges. Whilst the setting is principally pleasant and the leisure facilities outstanding, the lodges themselves fall very short of 4 star expectations. They’re dated and in desperate need of modernisation but more to the point the standard of cleanliness is appalling! It may seem clean on the surface with shiny taps and a clean shower screen but you don’t need to look any further or harder to see filthy appliances, doors and door handles, light switches, shower walls, indeed any surface. With any attempts to modernise the properties appearing minimal. The 80s was 45 years ago - I felt old just being inside. I am classed as clinically vulnerable to cleanliness is important to me. I did complain about the standards and management were very responsive, sending out a cleaner the next day but again, it was a disappointing surface clean. It was in desperate need of a deep clean with years of grime on the doors and door handles. In the end I came home early. Utterly depressed and disappointed. There are much better options for self catering accommodation nearby that were a lot cheaper. I did manage to get a 10% refund for my shortened stay but as I know, having a terminal illness, time is precious and I can’t get that holiday time back. I feel sad even thinking about it but I want others to know that they too may end up feeling utterly disappointed. I would suggest staying elsewhere.

All in all, for a cozy double, entry for two at the spa and room service at night- this cost us £460. This trip would honestly not have been worth half of that amount.||The room:|Very small and the site is oddly laid out. The room was very hot and we had several flies in there. The toilet was leaking water from its base and the shower was overly complicated to work. However, the Kendal mint cake on the pillow and jacuzzi bath were a nice touch,||The spa:|Hosts were not to be seen once we entered. The service was non- existence as you couldn’t find a host and so we only had one drink after we went to the bar. The heated pool was tiny and too many tickets were sold for the size of the facilities. Extremely over priced and nowhere near the standard of nearby competitors||Room service:|Menu was extremely limited. Food arrived without any cutlery and without our drinks. Some 30 minutes later both had now arrived. By now our burger had sweated and was soggy and stone cold. The foot was tasteless and the service was awful.||I have reached out to the hotel and the only element they want to focus on is the room service and so it does not seem as though they wish to action any change on the basis of my feedback.||Ultimately, beautiful setting but awful breakfast, room service and spa service. If I were you - I would avoid.

Such an idyllic location, with incredibly helpful staff and a wonderful attention to detail. We stayed in a Waterside Room…sited perfectly with the roaring river passing by our balcony. It was clean, warm and luxurious. The Spa was wonderful, the deli platters were delicious, the breakfast in the Stove was outstanding….essentially the whole experience far exceeded our expectations. ||We will most definitely be returning to this wonderful spot in the heart of the Lake District, and would definitely recommend this as the perfect location for a romantic getaway.

After a lovely stay back in 2023, we returned in October 2025. Unfortunately this time the food / restaurant let out stay down. The spa and our waterside room was beautiful. However, the food at the Stove restaurant was not piping hot, the service was extremely slow during our meal and waiting for our next course, and my dessert was forgotten about. We were really disappointed and something has definitely changed since 2023 either chefs/ management which is such a shame. This is not what you expect for a £500+ per night stay and will definitely put us off from returning if this is not addressed. ||Lovely room and spa was great but the restaurant needs improvement!||Thanks|Chloe

Place is a rip off and I would not recommend to anyone. Lots of hidden extras and CGI photos to make everything look more luxury than what it is. Spa is £85 extra per person (no - this doesn't include any treatments) and this is on top of steep prices per night for dated rooms. If you want just a pool, please note you have free access in the leisure centre, just be prepared to share this with the local community but very crowded during the holidays so essentially not usable. We were staying in a room with poor natural light which felt like we were in a basement (it's on the ground floor and half of the view is a wall! It's also a pathway so you can't leave the blinds open much for privacy. This picture really doesn't give the poor light justice), I'd love to know who thought this was an acceptable room to offer anyone, or even someone on such a special milestone. To get something with even a view of a car park it's £10 extra (yes we ended up upgrading for better natural light at least). For even my 30th they wanted an extra £18 for chocolates - not even a small treat they'd give which is pretty standard in places charging this price per night. Worst experience I'm still having to endure and I feel horrible for my partner who drove so far thinking the experience would've been the best we've experienced in 10 years together. I won't break his heart - but instead write this review to warn others - lower your expectations and come with disposable income you can afford to lose and you'll be ok. Highlights - breakfast was nice, and dinner waiter Catyln (I believe her name resembled) also very nice.

Disappointing Experience Despite High Expectations I had dinner at The Stove Restaurant and Bar, and unfortunately, the evening fell well below expectations. The booking process started off promisingly with friendly customer service when entering the restaurant to book a table, and we managed to secure a table for 20:45, knowing the kitchen closed at 21:30. We arrived early and decided to enjoy cocktails at the bar beforehand. However, we sat for around 20 minutes without even an acknowledgment from staff before being served. When our cocktails finally arrived, we were shown to our table — but no water was offered, the menu wasn’t explained, and when we asked about specials, our waitress didn’t know. When my partner tried to order a starter, the waitress came back three separate times to inform us each dish we picked was unavailable. Once we eventually placed our order, the food arrived quickly. Unfortunately, the chicken and waffle starter was extremely greasy and lacked flavour. A new staff member — who was very polite and eager to help — did his best to assist and provided extra olive oil for our roasted pepper snack, which we appreciated. For mains, the sides were cold. At that point, I was so disappointed that I didn’t even feel it was worth raising the issue and just wanted to finish the meal and leave. I understand we had a later booking towards the end of service, but given the premium cost of the accommodation and the reputation of the resort, the service and food quality were far below what should be offered. Sadly, this experience has left me reluctant to return.

We were welcomed by a lovely receptionist ! Very smiley and kind! The spa facility is great ! Rooms are very quiet ! Bed is very comfy! ||I was really disappointed with the food ! The breakfast was very average and so was the room service offered!
