Beautiful location. Food was very good. Room was clean if a little tired. I leave the new owners have addedly had the hotel for four months and imagine they will be working their way through upgrading. I wish them lots of luck it's a great hotel in a great location.

3 nights in late July. Hotel is a great place to stay to experience the Lake District, not far from Ambleside but remote enough to feel like you are really in nature. Staff and breakfast were excellent. Walk up to Stickle Tarn was a good test with a couple of scrambly bits but well worth it once you got there.

I stayed in the garden room, which opens straight out onto the garden. The space is spacious, spotlessly clean and really cosy. I had a wonderful experience and would happily book it again.

Another amazing break in Langdale. The New Dungeon Ghyll has had a refurbishment since our last stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, the room was clean and spacious. We've booked another two stays there for this year and next year. Can't wait to go back.

A lively Lakeland hotel with great prospects and a good feel . Fabulous Langdale views, clean bedrooms and helpful staff. The food was perfect and I would recommend the chicken and mushroom pie, really good. The new owners have more to do in making improvements to decor and this is underway but we loved it and will return.

Amazing views and walks around the hotel. Basic room in need of modernisation. Beds were very comfortable. No curtains or blinds on the window! Toilet was broken on arrival but was fixed within the hour and offered a drink on the house which is nice. Staff very helpful and friendly. You can see the property is undergoing some work so understandable.

Our room was excellent very quiet with lovely comfortable bed, nice bed linen, towels and plenty of tea&coffee etc. Breakfast was delicious. We ate evening meals at the hotel which were homemade and great quality and reasonable price. New owners have taken over hotel just over 2 mths ago and we found them to be very friendly, welcoming and hard working. They're improving the hotel with new decor and have great attention to detail so I'm sure once finished it will be amazing. It's location is great with some fantastic walks and bus on your doorstep. We hope to return next time we are in the Lakes and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the hotel.
