“The Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel truly embodies the spirit of Great Langdale, sitting in an epic location for serious walkers with truly grand views. My exploration revealed a place where the bar, particularly for hikers, buzzes with a well-deserved energy, serving restorative food and excellent ale after a day on the fells. It's a simple establishment, certainly, but one that understands its purpose with exceptional comfort in its rooms and a welcoming staff.”
