Location really lovely. Leisure facilities were good.. We were aware that there was a refurbishment programme in place.Fortunately we were allocated a refurbished room, freshly decorated with a new bathroom . Room was clean but needed the carpet, especially the edging and skirting boards cleaning. We ate in Purdey's Restaurant-absolutely delicious! All in all a really enjoyable two night break.... more

Ominously as it turned out -we were given room 101 in the main complex. This room was not fit for a £15 per night B&B let alone a luxury £150 per night rate. No water supplied in the rooms. The furniture had appalling stains and torn fabric, the headboard - again stained, the curtains hanging off the rail the wallpaper... more

This hotel has an excellent location, with fantastic views from whatever direction you look! A warm welcome at reception and by all the staff we encountered on our stay. Lovely leisure club, very clean, staff a little less warm here although this seems to be common among the sporty types!! The food in Purdys restaurant was fantastic. The rooms were... more

Our first room smelt "odd", not paricularly unpleasant, just odd and gave me the creeps. The room's furnishings were standard in a Travelodge... more

We booked a one night late deal direct with the hotel, which cost £109. This included dinner, bed and breakfast, and use of the leisure facilities. There was a mix up at reception on check in as we had been upgraded to a waterside room (possibly 173?), as a surprise gift and the new room wasn't ready. We had a... more

We stayed here for a friend's wedding over a Bank Holiday weekend. We had a wonderful time, and the hotel was OK, but not perfect. Some pluses and minuses: + Excellent pool with very clean / up-to-date changing facilities. + Lovely grounds. + Food at the wedding was exceptional. + Very friendly and helpful staff in the main bar. +Good-sized... more

Cumbria: The Langdale Hotel, Lake District: "An absolute joy!" Date: August 10, 2004 What can we say !!!!

Lunch in Wainwrights especially good, we will be returning again just for the... more

The room had no heating at all and was freezing! They couldnt find our booking when we arrived! The room smelt damp... more
