Hotel a bit pricey for what you get - but the location makes up for it. Rooms clean and breakfast good. Have stayed there 3 times. Twice the food in the bar in the evening was good - despite the shouting from behind the bar. Third time my chips were black - sent them back (never done that before) to... more

Well what can I say. I avoid this part of the lakes during the silly season of the UK school hols or as the French say Les Grandes Vacances. Some of the best and hardest graded climbing routes in Europe are just behind the Hotel. Dawes Rides a Shovel Head E9 8c The last time I stayed we stood in... more

We stayed at the ODG again for the ??? time - we have been so often that I cannot remember - as usual the welcome was warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble - we have found this to be an excellent base for walking holidays since we took over the whole hotel for a group stay in... more

With high hopes of a warm welcome after a day of walking we were disappointed in the ODG Hotel. Staff insisted on yelling out the dinner orders over the heads of the drinkers - (and I mean really YELLING !) to the extent that one area of the Walkers bar remained empty even on a busy night.

Basic but great. As a stopover on our walk of the Cumbrian Way this proper walker's hostelry in the magnificent scenery at the end of Langdale provided shelter, hot water, a fine resident's lounge, substantial helpings of pub grub and a full breakfast to set us up for a day's walking. If you aren't a walker stay somewhere smarter, if... more

A fabulous experience! ODG is land-locked if you're driving so you can only leave it by retracing your route in...but that's only 6 or 7 miles and it is through some beautiful countryside. The fabric of the hotel has seen better days but this is a hotel in rustic Little Langdale and is very much in character. Everything was clean,... more
