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

Recently stayed at the Langdale Hotel, with a little anticipation reading the review below. They must have stayed in a different hote!!! Food was excellent, son has a nut allergy & they could not have been more helpful. Leisure facilities superb. Staff extremely helpful & polite, despite the various nationalities. Would definately recommend this hotel to family & friends. more
