The Old Dungeon Ghyll is a unique and very special Lake District hotel, located in the remote and unspoilt Langdale Valley. It is the 'original' Dale Head Inn, situated in the centre of the Lake District, amongst some spectacular views. For some 300 years the hotel has offered accommodation and sustenance to weary climbers and fellwalkers in the midst of some of the highest mountains in England.

For the last 23 years Neil and Jane Walmsley have run the old Lake District hotel in a traditional way and guests can expect a friendly, warm welcome upon arrival! The fantastic scenery of Langdale is not the only attraction for guests at The Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel. Some visitors simply visit to enjoy the comfort and traditions of a cosy get away far removed from the stresses of modern-day life. Don't expect to be easy to contact as you might have to climb 1000 feet to get a mobile phone reception!
