Langdale Chase Hotel

A stunning hotel, on the shores of Lake Windermere. From the moment I drove in, I was made to feel very welcome by each member of the team. The hotel has been decorated to a very high standard, keeping original features and restoring those that had been removed over the years. The food was outstanding as are the views. Langdale Chase really is relaxed luxury offering a memorable experience.

My wife and I have never left negative feedback anywhere before. We come to the Lake District often and were excited to book our wedding anniversary dinner here, post renovation having heard lots of positive feedback previously. We didn’t read TripAdvisor as this hotel has two AA rosettes, big mistake. Replies by management to other dissatisfied customers regarding the food promising improvements moving forward have yet to be delivered. Sad to report there has been no improvement since the comments from Richard C in March 2024. At £79 for what would be generously be described as a three course light snack we were severely disappointed and also felt like going to the nearest takeaway to fill up afterwards. My wife likes her beef medium and I like mine rare but I can reliably describe what we were served as rare to blue and having a preference was not an option. When we asked about this we were told “this is the new trend”. We are lucky enough to be able to honestly say we have been to bucket list hotels and restaurants but you will routinely find us in local pubs and restaurant chains so really feel we have experience across the whole spectrum. Whilst there is nothing wrong with the service if you were at a restaurant chain it is not what you’d expect from a high end establishment. Sorry Langsdale, but if you want better value, not be left hungry and experience the expected service standard we’d recommend looking at other 2 AA rosette, impressive lakeside establishments within a couple of miles. Our hotel dinner from two nights prior at £70 per head was far superior in every way. Please listen to your customers, your setting and wine list are very enjoyable but the food and service need significant improvement to be worth what you charge.
