The location is beautiful, with grand views of Great Langdale from the rooms and a garden out front to enjoy when the weather is fair. It is very much a walkers hotel/bar and there were no TVs in any of the rooms, which given the surroundings felt very right, but might not be for everyone. Particular shout out for how exceptionally comfortable the bed was after a long day of walking the Cumbria Way - would recommend!
Set in 6 acres of gardens, New Dungeon Ghyll is a family-run hotel featuring an excellent restaurant, and rooms with dramatic views across the Langdale Valley.

Breathtakingly beautiful! A joy to be walking in the hills, enjoying God’s outstanding creation! We stayed at the spectacular New Dungeon Ghyll and from there, we started our first wild camping adventure near Stickle Tarn as a married couple.

Probably the most scenic part of the Lake District.
Probably the most scenic part of the Lake District. Plenty of places to stay or eat. The road is quite narrow in places which means it can be slow going at times (especially weekends) . Bus service every 2 hours along the valley. Car Parks a plenty but can fill up very quickly, especially at weekends.

Beautiful surroundings. An ideal stopover for walking the Cumbria Way.
A warm welcome from Finn and Marina in the very comfortable New Dungeon Ghyll hotel with good beer and excellent food.
The local National Trust bar called Sticklebarn is next door to the hotel which is warm and inviting and serves refreshments and food until 5:30pm. The choice of real ales is also very good.
There is nothing else here except beautiful scenery, sheep and walks. It has everything one needs.

The great langdales has to be the most perfect place in the UK , outstanding for anyone who loves the outdoors, there are plenty of walks,hiking, climbing, scrabbling, the most beautiful scenery at every glance.
The manager (I think) who checked me in went out of his way to make sure everything was ok from the moment I arrived to the moment I left. He also made room for us at dinner (we'd forgotten to book and it was fully booked). The cleaner was also freindly and happy to help when I could'nt find the towels (they were in a cupboard in the room but I hadnt checked!). A number of walks could be done straight from the hotel - this was fantastic. Close to Grasmere and Ambleside - brilliant.
Everything was perfect. From the minute we came here, to the minute we left. We booked for 2 nights but nooked a 3rd night. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The room we stayed in was perfect, clean tidy and had everything we needed. The location of this hotel is breathtaking. The food was perfect too. The breakfast was lovely and so much to choose from. The lunch meals and evening meals were gorgeous. You can even order a packed lunch if your out walking for the day
Classic old Lake District hotel. Don't expect frills, but the beds are comfy and the rooms are warm (and it was well below freezing outside; I'd come to do some winter mountaineering). There was quite a bit of noise from a boisterous evening in the bar in my room, but nothing wrong with that - if I'd not planned to be up early I'd have gone and joined in! My price included breakfast but I left before they started serving so can't comment on the food.
Everything. There isn't anything that I can say that is negative about this hotel. The location is absolutely beautiful, the views are some of the best. The hotel itself is stunning, the room was really nice and clean. The staff were lovely, friendly and very helpful. The food was amazing in the hotel, there really isn't anything bad to say about this place. Would recommend.
Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Morning breakfasts were delicious and the waitress was very lovely and served us in great time even during a very busy morning.
Location was amazing and quiet, the hidden waterfall behind the hotel was a great hike. A short drive from nearby town, made for
gorgeous scenery on route to the hotel.
Great location for exploring Langdale valley and mountains. After a day hiking in challenging weather the adjoining Walkers Bar with its fire and decent bar was welcome. Good food too. Choice of eating in Walkers bar or in the restaurant. My room was spot on. Didn't want for anything.
We had a nice welcome, the room was as expected, a good size. The evening meal was lovely, and the full Cumbrian breakfast was delicious.
The location of the new dungeon Ghyll is unbeatable, right in the very heart of the Langdales, so many walking routes from the doorstep.
Great views and located close to excellent climbs. Locals are friendly and the barman at the main bar was very helpful. Breakfast was excellent and for me it was the perfect size. Hotel staff were easy to get along with which always gives a stay that little bit extra.
As always a spectacular location, great pub, and the best breakfast - really sets you up for the day. Hotel is brilliantly old fashioned, puts you in mind of Agatha Christie, and the bar hasn't changed much in 40 years and why would it?
Rooms were very clean, the location is stunning. The food was delicious and a lovely lounge to enjoy a drink with a board game after dinner!
Booked this hotel last minute and, for the location, the price was very reasonable.
Lovely, traditional, country hotel. It was really good to have a special sitting room, bar, and restaurant for residents, so we could be sure there would be space. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
The room was spotlessly clean and cozy. The bathroom and toilet looked brand new. The owners were so kind and accommodating. I had a great sleep on the night before my hike for a great price of £65
Really friendly staff who couldn't have been more helpful. A lovely hotel in a stunning location. Amazing breakfast. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks very much!
