Where to Eat - The Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel
« Go Back
We are a unique Lake District Hotel located in the remote and unspoilt Langdale Valley.
The Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel is to be found in the magnificent setting of the Great Langdale Valley. It is the 'original' Dale Head Inn and right in the centre of the Lake District.
For 300 years the Old Hotel has offered accommodation and sustenance to weary fellwalkers and climbers in the midst of some of the highest mountains in England. However it is not only the fantastic scenery of Langdale that attracts our guests, some simply come to enjoy the comfort and traditions of a cosy get away, far away from the stresses of modern day life. Don't expect to be easy to contact – you may have to climb 1000 ft to get a mobile phone reception!
We enjoy cooking and maintain a fine wine cellar, so the accent is very much on home-made meals, and we provide an excellent dinner served in the comfort of our dining room. Our chef who has been with us for 12 years serves a wide selection of home-cooked food using the finest local produce, to satisfy your appetite after a day of activity. Over the years, we have also gathered quite a collection of Scottish Whiskies, along with our beverages on tap.
