We stayed at the hotel over the Christmas period 2005. Our room was a large twin bedded family room - so plenty of room for myself and my wife! The TV was a little on the small side though! Bedroom was clean and tidy. The food was outstanding and the service friendly and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble. The views and walks from the hotel on a frosty Christmas morning were memorable. If you like peace and quiet, good food and service along with views and walks to die for, this is the place for you.

I stayed here for one night end of September. The room was comfortable, shower room had a very good shower. The view from the room was so lovely, I opened the window for the night and went to sleep to the sound of the stream running close by and the sheep in the fields. The evening meal was good and the cooked breakfast excellent. My only grumble is that the television in the room was so loud I could hear it word for word, very annoying! However I would definately go back, and there are some fab walks straight from the front door of the hotel! Ear plugs and walking gear!!

good place if you like to walk the fells, can get up on the fells straight from the hotel.
our bathroom roof also leaked as the guests in the room below hadnt closed the shower door properly.

I stayed at the New Dungeon Ghyll after a day's walking in the rain in the Langdales. My room was reasonable although it looked a little in need of refurbishment. I had an evening meal which was much welcomed and satisfying, though not as high quality as some places I have stayed in the Lakes. I went, exhausted from the day to my room and laid on the bed dozing and half watching TV. I was listening to a dripping sound , thinking it was the rain outside when suddenly the TV went off with a crack. Looking up there was water coming through the ceiling and landing on the TV! I went to reception and they found it was from the bathroom of the room above. There were no other free rooms and it was too late to go elsewhere so I was stuck with a wet room for the night.
The morning view from the window was wonderful though . There was mist on the valley floor and the most beautiful sunrise.
