New Dungeon Ghyll - Langdale

A Truly Stunning Location,A Fantastic Hotel ideal for walkers,Set amongst the Langdale fells,The Staff were great! Welcoming and Attentive! Room was standard but that’s all I needed,The view out of my window made up for it as it was truly stunning! Food was locally sourced cooked fresh,breakfast was first class and the service from Diane was spot on!! Booked this last minute I’ve found an hidden Gem will definitely be booking again! There’s plenty of space to eat either in the Lounge area but I preferred the Walkers bar which was just through an opening in the bar area! More relaxed plus a cracking Log burner! Other walkers very pleasant and chatty as I was on my own! Overall a fantastic 3 nights away!

We went for a short break away with our well behaved dog. The location is great for walking with also a good number of pubs around. The room we had was spacious, clean and looked over the gardens which was lovely. We ate in the Walkers Bar at the hotel in the evening which was great with a lovely log fire, perfect for a wet evening. There was plenty of choice at breakfast, the hot food cooked fresh which is always much better.|All the staff were welcoming and professional with a special shoutout to Diane who was on reception and at breakfast. Will definitely come again.|Helen, Paul and Jake the dog 😀

Absolutely brilliant. Been coming to Langdale since 1969 and have clearly missed one of the best hotels as first stay here. Adam and his team are so welcoming and friendly and everything great about the hotel. If you like real ale then stay here to enjoy the Swan blonde local beer. Lovely sensibly priced food too. Well done that chef. We will be back.

The hotel is in the most gorgeous location and the staff are brilliant. They went over and above to make our stay enjoyable over New Year and they provided some fab entertainment on NYE. They were super friendly and accommodating for our large party of unruly adults, kids and dogs. Francesca was so lovely and couldn’t do enough to make sure we all had the best time.

We stayed here for one night while walking a section of the Cumbria Way. There's a carpark (however we didnt use it due to walking a linear walk). The room was great. Plenty of space, a nice view outside and it was lovely and warm. There's also a drying room outside where we left some of our walking clothes and boots to dry overnight. The staff were also friendly. We had food in the bar. I had the pie and my partner had a burger, and we both enjoyed our food. There's loads of places to walk in the local area, there's a bus that stops outside the hotel, and fantastic views outside.

We are big fans of The Lake District and The Langdale Valley is one of our favourite locations. The hotel is ideally located at the valley head and is surrounded by the hills on all sides. We think it is really very good value for money and would happily recommend it. The hotel itself is pretty well kept, but looks as though it needs some tlc in some areas. We had The Garden Room which has a seperate entrance from the main hotel building. Comfortable, very large bed, good shower, good towels etc. We were very happy in our room for 4 nights. The food is good (the menu options changed while we were there) and what we expected for a walkers type hotel. Breakfasts are great. A decent selection of beers and wines from the bar. There is always the bar across the way which has a slightly wider selection. The staff are all really friendly and helpful. Our only reservation is that housekeeping is a little bit slack and doesn't always change the room or replace itemes used (tea bags etc). But this is a small point in what was for us a very pleasant stay. Fot the location and value for money we would thoroughly recommend it.

Staying for 5 nights. Surrounded by mountains this is a quiet hotel about 5 miles from Ambleside. There is a small bar attached to the hotel with a nice log burning fire in the winter. They also serve a small menu of food and snacks. Breakfast is available which was included in our room rate. Nice choice of breakfast. The rooms are located on ground, 1st and 2nd floor although 2nd floor is just a small flight of stairs up. Note there is no lift but the lady did offer to assist when we were checking in. We had a double room with private bathroom and a garden view. Spacious room and although by no means a modern hotel, it is atmospheric and olde wordly but we loved it. Very comfortable bed and hot shower. Just what's needed after a long walk.

spent, Christmas period (2025) at the New Dungeon Ghyll. The area is fantastic with a great walk up to stickle tarn right at the side of the hotel. The Christmas lunch was fantastic and all the staff were helpful and more than willing to help with anything that was asked of them. The hotel itself is a bit dated and could do with some refurbishment, but given its location and the staff we have no complaints. We also took our dog, which was no problem.
