New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel - Ambleside

Hotel was really welcoming, comfortable and in a great location of the purpose of your visit is exploring the great outdoors in the beautiful Langdale valley. If you're looking for a wealth of other facilities then probably not for you as - aside from the (lovely) Sticklebarn pub next door the nearest shops are a couple of miles up the road (not a problem if you have a car). The bar serves great quality food and a small but good selection of beers and the staff are really friendly. Good drying room for those inevitable wet days in the Lake District. Highly recommended as a base for exploring this lovely part of England.

An amazing location, clean hotel and fairly friendly staff, but a little impersonal at times and no investment or care in building relationships with guests. Room was on the top floor - many stairs with narrow stairwells to walk up to the room and no lift. No wifi available in the room. Pleasant lounge. Bar was noisy with lots of young children screaming during the day. Bar food was adequate but expensive. Bar choice was surprising poor offering no local Lakeland ales, compared with the much better Stickle Barn next door. Breakfast was poor on one morning. Absolutely no comparison to the amazing Brimstone Hotel a short drive away.

Only one night stay. Room very clean nice decor. V friendly staff. View from guest garden v good

Enjoyed our stay and were able to make use of the residents garden one afternoon. Its probably a bit overpriced, even given the location.

Not bad value, amazing location in the middle of absolutely nowhere (but there is an infrequent bus service from Ambleside- the 516- if you dont want to drive). Staff were excellent, food is good and the rooms clean, well cared for and have everything you need for your stay.
