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. The staff are friendly and helpful, relaxed and informal, you are made... More

Just had week here with some friends. We had superior rooms which were very clean and well appointed although they only had showers - a minor point but a soak in a bath would have been nice after a long walk!! The staff were all very courteous and helpful. Five course dinners were included in our D,B&B package which made... More

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

Thanks for your lovely comments and these will be passed on to our staff. Marc is a great singer it was just a shame it was not a bit busier for him, but he says its the quality of the audience not the quantity. He is back with us on 11th May. More

This hotel is amazing. The rooms, the garden, the staff and the food are all great. Plus you simply cannot beat the location. We stayed in room 14 which had an excellent view of the garden and the little hill behind!!

We stayed at NDG at the beginning of March and had the 3 night dinner bed and breakfast offer, which we feel represents great value for money.

We stayed at this hotel on Saturday 23rd March 2013 and from start to finish we had a wonderful experience. It had snowed very heavily the day before, so the drive through the lakes to the hotel was a winter wonderland, and we were relieved to find the road to the hotel was clear of snow. We were met straight... More

Several Langdale hikes start right from the hotel and the view from any room is spectacular. I am glad the hotel is not just serving pub food and you sit on stools, although there is a walker's bar. Instead the food was a positive surprise, very good, greater than average selection and varied. This applies to breakfast as well. Also,... More

You have the most spectacular views and the walks in the area are fantastic. The food is good but the dining area a bit formal for my liking but that is not a criticism just not for me. The room was lovely but could have been better when compared with other comparitive hotels charging the same rate. Great location, nearby... More

What lovely comments, thank you very much. We do also serve bar food in the bar or lounges and our guesrts also get 10% on bar food, so if you ever come to visit again maybe that might be a better option for you. I will pass on the messages to our staff as they love the feed back. More
