I didn't stay here I popped in for a pint and at £5.80 I won't be bothering again. It's not just here the whole of the Lake District is a rip off. Do your selves a favour and visit Yorkshire instead!!!!!!!! The Station Inn has rooms from £80 per night or bunkhouse rooms for £40 or you can camp for free and if you eat and drink in the pub you can use the bunkhouse facilities ie shower room and outside tap.

The hotel was full of character in a stunning location, the staff were friendly and welcoming and the rooms were comfortable. There was an issue with our original room and the staff bent over backwards to move us to a more suitable one. The bar service was a lot friendlier than the negative reviews suggest. The food was fairly good, the beer was spot on. Yes, the hotel is slightly shabby but in some ways that adds to its charm. We only stayed one night and didn’t walk, but we will definitely go back soon with our walking boots. Finally, some rooms have private bathrooms across the landing which are accessed with the room key; don’t do what we did and lock your room key in the bathroom 😬

My son and I stayed for a week whilst exploring the beautiful local area. The staff were welcoming and friendly from the start and helped advise us on the best walks/hikes in the area. Great breakfast and evening meals and a lovely selection of beers which were very much needed at the end of a long days walking in the wonderful area. Highly recommend and will certainly be back at the ODG.

I used to stay here and always rated the experience. Not this time. The Climbers Bar (I’m sure it used to be ‘The Hikers Bar’?) needs urgent attention. The barman was rude with a ‘take it or leave it’ attitude. The beer was ok and I asked about food. I was pointed to a scraggy piece of paper on a table that looked as if it had been used to mop up the beer slops. ‘Pie of the day’ was one of the few dishes, but asking what today’s pie might be, clearly annoyed the barman! We did eat (nothing special) but everyone seemed to be leaving after one drink. I can understand why. We did likewise.

We were snowed in at the ODG this weekend and it was an amazing once in a lifetime experience. The whole crew of the hotel, from receptionist and emergency coordinator and yogi, Linda, to barmen, Mark and Cam, through to the chef (Alex?) and the owner, Neil, all rallied round to help us out in what would otherwise have been a mountain survival situation at the end of an inaccessible, snow-filled valley. While the rest of the Lake District became gridlocked with abandoned cars, we enjoyed the hospitality of people who are the epitome of true Cumbrian grit. When we became stuck in snow, they added us on to their bookings and looked after us. The owner came through in his 4x4 to get the fire going in the residents’ lounge and regaled us with the story of how he bought the hotel in the first place forty years ago. Linda and Joanna, amongst others, cancelled their days off to help out too, keeping us updated as to the off-on potential availability of a room for a night on Saturday and again on Sunday. Once we were ensconced in the winter wonderland scenario for the whole weekend, Mark was assiduous in his attention to keeping us warm with log fires in the climbers’ bar and the residents’ lounge. He offered drinks and food service with a smile and much good humour, even when one of the other resident’s dog growled and barked at him when he called ‘last orders’! In the minds of thousands of climbers, walkers and campers, the ODG is an institution. This weekend we can bear witness that the traditions of the ODG remain intact. Hearty food and good company. We had no distractions from loud music or any television. The only hubbub was from likeminded guests sharing their experiences. The Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel is always there, always offers a safe haven in a tricky situation and the present staff are continuing to keep up the legend of providing a benchmark to others, a beacon of Cumbrian hospitality. Stoicism in the face of adversity. Well done to one and all! We are very grateful to you. Xx

Have visited the ODG on many occasions and always wanted to stay here. It was fantastic. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Rooms are exceptionally comfortable. Of course, the location is absolutely amazing, perfect for walks and enjoying the scenery of Great Langdale. There is a good selection of real ale on the bar, all well kept. And, we were lucky enough to stay during the week of the folk festival, which was great.

Staff were miserable and unwelcoming. Sign says walk-in breakfast welcome from 8 till 930. 8 of us got turned away at 8.30 in the morning. No explanation given except chef said no! Wouldn't have been so bad but as it's basically the only place in the valley , we had been for dinner and drinks for the previous 2 nights so between us all spent a fair bit of ££££. Food is basic but nice. The beers ok but the bar staff are as welcoming as 90's bouncers.

After a 6 and a half mile walk up the glorious valley from Skelwith Bridge we wanted a simple coffee and soup or a sandwich. When the cafe door was unlocked half an hour late, the surly member of staff didn't think to open the door or even welcome in the 12 or so hungry and thirsty walkers but stomped off to the back of the bar and stood with arms crossed glaring at all those brave enough to enter. We ordered some coffee and not a word was spoken to us. When asking for some milk we were told that as we had ordered an Americano we would not be getting milk! There was no offer of a menu, no smile, and when asking what beers were available were told to look for ourselves!! Beyond rude. We hurried to the next bus and found a far friendlier place at Chesters Cafe. Will not be returning.

We came to the climbers bar for a beer, what a great pub, no frills, just good beer and a warm welcome. Straight forward food, well cooked, great portions and served quickly! I had the battered haggis, absolutely delicious. Shall definitely come back next time we stay in Langdale
