New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel, Great Langdale

A popular hotel in one of the busiest dales in the southern lakes, purchased in August 2021 by the emerging RedCat Pub Company. Originally a farmhouse, the hotel takes its name from its position at the foot of the deep Dungeon Ghyll ravine with an impressive 40ft waterfall.

The walkers bar, with wooden floor, has a practical interior for those who arrive wet and muddy. It is furnished with tables and wooden chairs along with a few church pew style benches next to a traditional fireplace. A large TV shows sport or other entertainments and it is used for live music and other events. There is also another carpeted bar area along with a lovely dining room. Residents have the use of an elegant lounge with views over the garden to the countryside beyond.

There is plenty of outdoor seating in front of the walkers bar.

Fell Ghyll (golden ale), Crag (bitter) and another from Fell are often on the handpumps along with a wide selection of canned Fell Beer in the fridge.
