I've stayed at the NDG at least once a year for many a year for a long weekend of walking in the Langdales valley. The rooms are good quality especially the four poster room. However, I have noticed that the food in the restaurant has gone off significantly from what it once was. The last few years the food has... more

Stayed twice. Good place to stay. Very peaceful in the late evening. more

Just got back from another lovely stay at the NDG. Even with the rain we had wonderful time. The hotel is lovely, situated in Langdale Valley, one of the most beautiful places in the world. The rooms are clean and well kept, the food is excellent, service very friendly. Wonderful hikes just outside the door. While there's bus service, I'd... more

Turned up at the NDG on spec having decided on the Langdales as our destination. The overall look of the Hotel was great and the reception from the staff was welcoming but after paying £114 for a Delux box, we were left abit dissapointed, Double aspect room but unfortunately all you could see was a giant PineTree from both windows... more

When I arrived I had to go fnd the bartender to get my room. The bar food that night was self service. My room was a blast furnace... more

What a wonderful place to use as a base to introduce my American girlfriend to the Lake District. The weather, as usual, was changeable but we had a very pleasant stay in this hotel. The staff are very friendly and incredibly... more

Have stayed here several times in the last few years and have always found it excellent. Though an old building it is very warm and cosy, even in mid-winter, and is a welcoming place to relax at the end of a day's walking. Friendly staff, great food and a wonderful location in Great Langdale as well. Their 5 day mid-week... more

We stayed here for a long weekend in March 2006. The hotel is an interesting Victorian mansion,set in a superb location . The food was always excellent,whether at breakfast, dinner or lunch. We thought the staff were clearly more service oriented than is the norm in the Lake District. The owners are very friendly, and consistently helpful. We had problems... more
