Perfect location amidst mountains with footpaths in all directions. Car parking was tricky when small car park full.

Not entirely sure what made our “Superior Room” superior as didn't look into any “Standard" rooms but was adequate, spacious and quiet, simply furnished, smallish TV, no real “luxuries” and no bath, just a large (nice hot) shower. Not the best mattress ever.

TV channels oddly only show London and Central – something to do with reception I was told – which isn’t much help for checking the local weather, although a printed forecast is put on the check-in desk every day.

Friendly and attentive staff during our three night stay, cosy residents and public/walkers bars and comfortable lounge, bar food menu rather limited, restaurant food and breakfasts excellent.

Some public areas, notably the doors and walls in upstairs passages very shabby, otherwise all in good order. The condition and simple room furnishing would perhaps not justify the tariff elsewhere but the great location compensates.

We had a delicious soup and sausage sandwich at The New Dungeon Ghyll a couple of weeks ago. The staff were very friendly and the prices reasonable. We will definitely plan a return visit.

The location of the New Dungeon Ghyll is idyllic. The captive occupancy of walkers and climbers could expect an average experience but thats far from the case. The rooms are clean and adequate with fabulous showers and the views are priceless after a good nights sleep. The food is bar or a la carte. The bar food was hearty and tasty. Service was good but at times hard to find staff, however ring the bell as instructed and hey presto someone appeared. The staff were friendly and the seasonal Aussie/Kiwi contingent give a great antipodean welcome. A chilled, relaxed environment for walkers and countryside lovers, reasonably priced with everything you need. Ideal!!!

Just returned from an overnight stay at this hotel. This hotel is in a great position for exploring the many walks and climbs in the beautiful Langdale Valley. Having walked up to Stickle Tarn and scrambling up Jacks Rake we arrived at the hotel. Check in was slightly delayed but nevertheless the staff were apologetic and we enjoyed a pot of coffee in the lounge in front of a fire - very welcoming. Our room was clean and warm, tea and coffee making facilities, good bathroom (again spotlessly clean with plenty of towels). We ate in the bar in the evening, the food was very good and not to expensive at all. You also have the choice to eat in the restaurant, the menu looked very good. Breakfast in the morning was excellent, plenty of choice, with as much fresh coffee, tea and toast as you want. Checkout was simple and speedy. We must however mention the staff. Mainly Australian/New zealanders, they were polite, helpful, always had a smile on their faces and nothing was to much trouble - a credit to the hotel which I hope is appreciated.
We would most certainly stay here again.
