Langdale Chase Hotel

Pulled up outside and was greeted by a very abrupt member of staff from the door! Told us FULLY BOOKED we wanted to have a nice Sunday drink at the bar, when questioned we said we’d sit outside and still be refused us entry!! Never known such a rude arrival and unwelcoming place! You need to be a little more hospitable to your guests and visitors when arriving and at least let them have a drink at leisure and TRY TO GET SOME STAFF who are much more accommodating. Shame as we were going to book 3 nights next month! Your loss- very very disappointing Never ever had that experience anywhere else in my 38yrs of living on this planet!

50th birthday, wanted a small celebration at the Langdale Chase. Lunch on the terrace, full sun. Boats going by, wonderful. Staff on hand all the time, unfailingly polite and nothing is ever too much trouble for them. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks we had. Too much to list… Then we went on the hotel’s private boat, which is available for lake tours at a small cost. The boat has been lovingly restored and it was a pleasure to sail up and down Windermere in. It was comfortable, relaxing and had great viewpoints. There were 2 members of staff on board that day, one piloting and one dealing with the passengers. Both gentlemen had excellent knowledge of the boat and the lake, and sadly the time flew in and we were back at the hotel. I have been lucky enough to sail on Windermere for 40 years, and I can say this was my favourite way to see it. We will be back on board as long as it is there. It was a great finish to a great day. If you visit the Langdale Chase, then enjoy all it has to offer - including their boat. It’s now our go to place on Windermere.

Overall we had a wonderful stay. The hotel building inside and out, plus the location were truly stunning. The decor was beautifully chosen and our room was amazing and we could not fault it, including stunning views and a balcony. We stayed for 4 nights and enjoyed the breakfast and dinners, we thoroughly enjoyed our service from Martin with his lovely sense of humour. We took the hotel’s own boat around the lake which was superbly hosted by Rob and Pete. The only negatives were that the rooms were not cleaned on two days and the final bill was incorrect by a considerable amount and had to be amended.
