Location was perfect, right in the centre of Grasmere.
Rooms were clean and comfortable.
Breakfast was excellent.

Good location for Windermere, excellent rooms with good beds and showers, use of the pool and sauna included - these were nice but a bit small for the number of people staying there, some good art work too

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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Lovely spacious and quiet room, beautiful grounds surrounding the hotel and perfect location for hiking. A hearty breakfast. Parking on site. The adjoining pub was a bonus for a cold pint and something to eat after a long day hiking the hills. Other than some hiccups with the meals and the housekeeping, we enjoyed our stay.
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.
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?
