This place has its own style: The setting under Harrison Stickle is nothing short of dramatic, and the isolation at the head of Langdale is majestic. The walkers bar is very basic, true... it has to be, because walkers, dogs, back-packs, ice-axes, sticks, big boots, muddy feet and a lot of rain come through the door. It is fashioned from... More

A real Lake District icon in a superb location. We walked to the ODG on the Cumbria Way path and it really is a pleasant place to arrive. The lounge the hallway and entrance really are examples of a Victorian era. Not faded but true the era. Our room was very comfortable and looked like it had been refurbed in... More

I visited in Sept , my fiancee and I were walking with our dogs. The outside of the pub looks tired and grubby.

How do you find a place this spectacular! Rooms are good, clean, but the location is perfect!! Excellent dinner and breakfast. Staff appears laid back, but very helpful and service was good! More

My friend is a regular at the ODG and each time he bought a round of 2 drinks they charged him £4.80, but when I (as a stranger in the bar) bought the same round they charged me £5.35. I am told that this is their usual practice ..................... one price if they know you and a higher price if... More

The important thing about the ODG is its location: everything else pales in to insignificance when you consider that for the sheer majesty of its surroundings very few hotels can ever hope to match. Some of the best hill walking available anywhere on the planet is available straight out of the door and this is surely the primary reason for... More

Ate at the Old Dungeon Ghyll last Friday on last day of holiday in the Lake District. Is in a really remore part of the valley, and has a great feel to it with a terrific selection of old prints and photographs of the pub and area in the non-dining areas. The food was terrific and plentiful! My father-in-law had... More
