New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel

No ......................

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.

Excellent location, food, staff and rooms

Staff were great. The valley had no water due to the drought. The staff took it in their stride. They were honest about the situation, provided bottled water and kept guests up to date with the situation which was resolved by the next morning. The room was clean, however the paintwork could do with being refreshed. Tea / coffee stains on the wall by the kettle. The bathroom taps were loose (we tightened them) and the toilet bowl could've used a good scrub below the waterline. However, the shower was big with room to move and there was plenty of hot water once the water issue had been resolved. The lunch / evening menu is very limited. Breakfast was included and very good, there were more options on this menu than the other! We did however, enjoy our stay and will stay here again when we next go to the lakes.

Stayed here before and happy to do so. Excellent location for the valley and great bus service onto the wider lake District.

What a find! It was great. Now don't be deceived by its address. It is not in Ambleside. It's a few miles to the west on the narrow, winding B5343, beyond Skelwith Bridge and the old slate mining village of Chapel Stile. This road comes to a dead end in the Langdales a few miles from the hotel. There's an old 19th century Ordnance Survey map on the wall of the breakfast room which identifies 'Robinson place' which I think was this building, previously a farm. Anyway, it has been sympathetically restored to welcome visitors, both car drivers like us and plenty of hikers and cyclists. My room had large windows on two walls, with beautiful views of mountains, grass and sheep.

The hotel has stunning views of the valley The staff were brilliant food excellent

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.

Just about everything here is lovely. Nice garden, comfortable room, helpful staff and the main thing, best valley in the world. Xx

Remote location, quiet, peaceful with fantastic scenery and views

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.

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.

Great location. Comfortable room and staff were friendly and very helpful. Food was very good. Overall a great place to stay. Recommended.

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.

Excellent for walks! Straight out the car park is a steep stepped-path alongside the beck to the tarn a mile above. Hard work but stunning views

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.

Lovely location; great room

Very helpful and friendly staff. Room clean and bed comfy. A bit of a wait for dinner but it was well worth the wait; delicious. You couldn't find a more fabulous landscape as the setting either.

The breakfast was excellent

We enjoyed our visit We were very lucky with the weather on the whole Issues with the bathroom were passed on to the manager Beautiful location with access to lots of great walks and views Definitely need to revisit
