Incredible location, great food and the packed lunch was great too! Super comfy beds and room with excellent facilities. Private bathroom opposite the bedroom.

Excellent!

9.0

The hotel is in an enviable location for mountain walking and climbing and is of great historic significance in the context of the early days of mountain exploration. There is a lot of artwork around the hotel featuring the area. My room was comfortable and the meals were very good.

The public areas could do with a little refurbishment without taking away the olde-worlde charm.

Very convenient pub/hotel in a great setting.

7.0

Location is ideal for walkers in Great Langdale - it's unnecessary to use your car and you have access to a lot of great walks. Good, basic food for people doing a lot of exercise! Good variety of choice for breakfast. Our room was pretty cool in hot weather and was reasonably quiet in the evenings. An amazing setting.

We had the impression that the staff were under a lot of pressure, leading to minor mistakes and occasional lack of communcation. Packed lunch is unimaginative - chocolate bars are useless in hot weather on the hill, sandwiches quite boring e.g. cheese but no tomato, tuna (?without mayonnaise? - didn't choose this option), ham on its own. Beer excellent, head barman quite rude. Menu quite limited - but you can always walk down to the New DG Hotel, which has a more varied menu.

A great location for walkers. It was a good, hearty breakfast and I couldn't fault any of the ingredients or service. I was grateful for the free wifi because there is no mobile phone signal in the valley. There is if you climb out of the valley but it is tough going getting the elevation. I liked the authentic old-world feel and the staff were all friendly. The only issue I had was the toilet flush handle was loose but it worked when you got the knack.
