Langdale Chase Hotel Restaurant in South Lakeland

Our eager anticipation and excitement over the architectural renovation of Langdale Chase by Daniel Thwaites Brewery over the last two years sadly didn't match the Sunday Lunch experience on our visit on January 14th 2024. A pricey £55 per head for a three course lunch proved very disappointing. Sadly the meal was only pub fare and definitely not fine dining. We felt embarrassed for our friends we had invited to join us. Wine prices were off the scale with no house wine, or wine by the glass options. Wine prices started at a jaw dropping £50. Despite Langdale Chase being in the most romantic of settings, Daniel Thwaites need to do some serious thinking if they actually want the local support of comfortably off local residents. The three course menu was disappointing. Our starter selection of chowder despite having a hint of smoke contained no pieces of fish, just a creamy sauce. Main course Roast Beef was poorly presented, large slices of very rare beef with a layer of fat and gristle which required some work to cut, definitely not melt in the mouth, We were not asked how we preferred the beef. Also presentation of the vegetables was poor. Carrots were hard, and my wife found the roast potatoes unpleasant, giving up on the cold Yorkshire pudding also. My wife & l chose Passion fruit souffle with ice cream. Sadly no passion fruit was in evidence and no ice cream, just a white puddle in a tiny dish. We sent the Souffle back to the kitchen, only to endure a repeat performance of the same dish, no passion fruit and again no ice cream. Naturally we complained to front of house and the desert was removed from our bill. Overall a truly underwhelming experience, with some embarrassment for our invited guests who had travelled some distance. One of our party is a vegetarian and the only option starter and main involved goats cheese. No other choice was available. A very expensive mistake.

I’m afraid this refurbished hotel has a long way to go if it wants to attain a high quality starring. Our afternoon tea which was £45 a head was in a beautiful setting but that was the only positive point. The place was quiet with a lot of staff milling around who didn’t really know what they were doing. The waiter didn’t seem to know what Darjeeling tea was, the peppermint tea was in a bag, had to ask for sugar, had to ask for 4th pot of tea for 4th guest as it didn’t arrive, took a long time (15mins ) for the food to arrive by which time teas were cooling. No room on a table for everything so clattering around and moving things. They need a separate table next to sitting table to place all the items. As for the food. The chef is trying really hard but I’m afraid it was all false with food dyes and over managed . Looked like Christmas decorations that were hard and tasteless. A simple well made scone and cream, eclairs and ham sandwiches of high quality would be so much better. The potted shrimp was floating in oil in a green glaze dish …in all the hotel needs to redesign the afternoon tea completely . I’m sorry for this review but I think better to get it better early on as it’s only been open a week . £243 for 4 afternoon teas and 2 glasses of Prosecco with service charge included automatically…..thwaites need to rethink this. When we got married there 30 years ago it was higher quality food….a case of progress not being progress. Sorry but you have time to change this.

I found this hotel by accident when snow blocked the road and I was too exhausted to go on. From the moment I went through the door I was cared for and shown great kindness. I stayed for two nights in a beautiful hotel with the most amazing views. The service was excellent and the room large and very comfortable. I am looking forward to visiting again in better weather.

Most beautiful hotel. Stunning refurbishment. All of the staff so welcoming. Our lunch was delicious from an imaginative menus. Thank you.

9 friends met for lunch. This is a monthly arrangement and we’ve eaten around south Lakeland where we live. Our visit today was beautiful not only gorgeous weather (ok a bit windy!) but we had the dining room to ourselves for most of our visit. Elegant dining room with stunning views of Windermere and the Lake District mountains. Excellent manager gave first rate service. Very varied menu which enabled the party to choose according to health needs and allergies. 6 of us chose the fish platter which was tasty and plenty to share between two. We were sorry to hear that the hotel closes on 2 September for 12 months to be fully refurbished but we will fit another visit in before it closes.

We booked here to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary whilst on a stay in the Lakes. At time of booked we were asked if it was a special occasion to which we answered yes. On arrival on the day we were shown a choice of 2 tables in the restaurant. Whilst a lovely view it was roasting hot and there was no offer of a seat on the terrace outside. We ordered our drinks and meals. Starters arrived and were tasty, but only half the drinks had arrived. Mains arrived and we had to ask for the remainder of our drinks. We then asked if we could take our tea/coffee outside which was met with an “of course”. Whilst the view was outstanding I wouldn’t say this about the food, and in fact we have had tastier pub meals this week!

My family and I moved to the Lake District not so long ago, and Langdale Chase was a place that we had all been very excited to visit. Every time we drove past, I would be absolutely amazed. We were booked for lunch for 6 people. As we were parking, we had a peculiar encounter with a lady who questioned us in regard to why we were there. I assume this was to make sure that we were not random tourists taking advantage of the parking; we let her know that we were booked for lunch, but her mannerisms were not very polite. When we walked in, we were stood in the entrance for a while until the same lady turned up, and directed us to the bar. Again, it seemed a peculiar way of directing us, and impolite. The staff were very kind, but unfortunately, they were not very smart, polished, or professional. The food was not up to standard… sadly, it was revolting. The chicken didn’t taste very well, and the potatoes were incredibly hard - I struggled to use my knife to cut them, and frankly, a very blunt knife didn’t help. I am very observant indeed, and I could spot dust and hair in my water glass, and wine glasses. I did, however, enjoy the cocktails. They were absolutely delicious. Overall, this is a place that I will visit again for cocktails, but cocktails only - for the time being. I believe that Langdale Chase has potential and room for improvement, and I do hope that this will happen in the near future, as it is such a magnificent place, in a spectacular location. I believe better management is the answer…

Stayed for a couple of days. The staff were so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The room was large an airy and had a gorgeous view of the lake and gardens. The bed was comfortable with choice of pillows. Large choice of food in the restaurant and beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Good central position for exploring the Lakes area.

We were passing by today and popped in for a coffee, we’re not even sure if they were open but the team kindly made us some coffees which we sat and enjoyed in their gardens overlooking the lake, which was probably one of the most beautiful spots we could have sat in the whole of the lakes, it was simply stunning, we could have sat there all day, Thank you 😊

Visited for a family meal. We have been seated by lady on table for four. The tabletop wobbled and it was impossible to keep your hands on the table. There was no drinks menu (although there was an extensive wine menu). So we went to the bar to order drinks. The drink didn't come out of the bar for about 15 minutes and we went to look for lost one by. The bartender clearly forgot about the order (which happens). Starters and mains from a la carte menu were good. Dicent portions and we we almost happy. Plates and cutlery been cleared right at time. But service is not welcoming at all. Seemed like someone forced them to served as. Couple of requests been forgotten by yang lad. If you position yourself as a good restaurant, you should invest in staff training.

I will write a full comment later, as I haven't calmed down as yet for being seriously taken for well over £600 for two nights...Not happy.

Having seen the billboards outside the entrance, we decided to pop in for afternoon tea on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The signs were good as we entered the stunning wood-panelled hallway and were greeted by the crackle of a blazing log fire. That's where the positives end. My husband, I and our child stood around for about 5 minutes in wet coats for someone to assist us and show us to the restaurant. There was a member of staff checking in a couple but clearly he was far too busy to pause and say that someone would be with us in a minute. So we waited... Eventually we were shown through a nondescript bar, situated near a draughty-looking characterless conservatory, to the half-empty dining room; it was obvious that it hadn't been decorated or re-carpeted since my last visit, circa 1997. We were seated and eventually our order was taken: two adult afternoon teas (at almost £28 each), a children's afternoon tea (almost £16), a pot of tea for two and an apple juice for our son. When the drinks were served by an unsmiling and unfriendly waitress, we were too busy sorting out the nipper to notice that no milk had been brought for the tea. It was another five minutes before we could attract the attention of a member of staff as she were busy laying the tables for dinner. By this time the tea was warm, not hot. Our 6 year old was happy with his food which arrived on a wooden bench. Ours was disappointing. We each had two small rectangular sandwiches, one filled with ham and pickle, the other smoked salmon. There was a small wrap filled with what seemed like only lettuce and was tasteless. Apart from a small sausage roll, that was it as far as savouries went. The cake selection was underwhelming: a fruit scone and a tasteless plain scone, some sort of green tasteless swirly thing, a tiny cheesecake in a glass and a small, seemingly stale, choux bun with some sort of unidentifiable red stuff splodged on top. The highlight was the Kendal mint cake brownie. Nobody came to check whether we needed anything else or whether everything was OK. We asked for another pot of tea and were horrified when this appeared on the bill (£4.30) as well as our boy's apple juice!!!! It seems that children's drinks are not included in the price of their afternoon tea; this was not pointed out when we ordered. Our bill came to an extortionate £87.29 and there was space for a tip! Here's our tip: be more friendly towards your guests. We worked hard to earn the money to enjoy this special treat; include drinks in the price; redecorate; welcome your guests on arrival and take coats - it was no fun having to sit next to our wet outer garments; be more generous and more adventurous with the afternoon tea. We will not be returning to this unfriendly, overrated and expensive venue. If it wasn't for the views and its situation on the lake, the Langdale Chase would have very little going for it.

Impossible to find a clean chair or one that wasn’t broken in conservatory. Drinks took 20 mins to arrive. Sat next to a broken window full of condensation in the dining room so view was a bit blurred. Dinner average although veg arrived after we had finished. Wanted desert but couldn’t be bothered to wait. Paid and receipt was tossed on the table and girl just walked off without a word. Ancestral hallway is amazing but who stuck a cheap strip light above an alcove.

Friends booked here for lunch to celebrate an 80th birthday and when we arrived a message board outside informed us the restaurant was fully booked. Our table was booked for 1pm but arrived early and we thought with the place being fully booked, there would be a cosy and lively atmosphere in the restaurant which would have been nice. It turned out we were the only four people in a cold restaurant but after asking they turned up the heat. We made our food choice from a limited menu, lobster, beef burger and lakeside sharing plate, and had drinks while we waited. Our food arrived and was mediocre to say the least and my husband and I were expected to use our side plates for the main course of the fish plate. After out main course we were offered the dessert menu but as our friend, whose birthday it was is diabetic, there was nothing he could eat. When the server came for the order we asked if he could have cheese and biscuits as he was diabetic, only to be told “if it’s not on the menu, then you can’t have it”. We were amazed then she offered a fruit salad which also not on the menu!! We declined feeling very disappointed about the whole situation and what should have been a special celebration for an octogenarian, turned out to be a huge disappointment. Surely a four star hotel could rustle up cheese and biscuits and two proper plates for the sharing dish!!! Anyway, by the time we left the “fully booked restaurant” had only only four more people eating. Hope they had a better experience!

The biggest sell of this restaurant are the amazing views over Lake Windermere. Wished we had got here a little earlier to walk around the lakeside grounds. The decor is a little dated however to reach the restaurant you do walk through oak panelled lounge rooms so it would seem a bit out of place if the restaurant was too modern. It’s a fairly formal atmosphere and prices are on the expensive side however we enjoyed our 3 course meals. Our mains were grilled halibut and shrimps (a bit dear at £28) and the pork main( the pork belly was delicious). A good place for a treat!

The overall dining experience during our visit was very good and breakfast was especially enjoyable.Unfortunately the 'main' dishes were a bit hit and miss and you would probably be disappointed if you were paying full price and it wasn't part of a package (you get £35 for your evening meal). One of our party had the Halibut at £28.50 and I sampled some of it. It was dry. Most dishes I really enjoyed with only one exception.I couldn't understand why rolls were brought out pre-meal and chef's butter of the day was introduced with just one quenelle provided, enough to fit on a teaspoon.As I say, our overall dining experience was very good and the restaurant front of house manager did ask for and took an interest in our feedback.

As it had been quite a while since our last visit to The Langdale Chase hotel for a meal my wife and myself decided to pay a visit for Saturday lunch. We had not made a reservation to dine on the terrace, given the current situation that was rather silly I know; but maître d'hôtel, Chris was extremely helpful and accommodating managing to arrange a great table with only the slightest of delay.The Terrace at Langdale Chase has to be one of the most beautiful dining locations in the Lake District with the incomparable vista of the Langdale Pikes rising above Windermere. Now the restaurant has a menu that is equal to the view!Even though the current situation meant that the menu was a little truncated, it was still difficult to make a choice but we finally settled on the Lake Platter to share. What arrived at our table was one of the best conceived, best prepared, best presented and best tasting sea food platters that we have ever enjoyed. That we were lucky enough to enjoy it on our own doorstep in such a beautiful location was a real bonus.Two AA Rosette Chef Daniel Hopkins is certainly making his mark in the district with really imaginative food crafted superbly from the wide variety of excellent quality local produce that is perfectly complimented by an extensive cellar and well-selected beers.I'm not sure how we managed it but we both made a selection from the desert menu. So glad we did! A brilliant variation on the tradition Eaton Mess and the scummiest of 'specials. Had we been wearing them, both of our hats would have been take off in deference to the Pastry Chef. Two perfect plates that excited the eyes and most definitely seduced the palette. What a star she is!The disappointment of two empty desert plates was held in temporary abeyance by two delightful and delicious coffees. A perfect conclusion to a perfect lunch - well actually, the perfect conclusion was making a booking with Chris for lunch the following weekend. Let's hope the weather is going to be as accommodating as The Langdale Chase?The hotel is one of the great landmark historic buildings in the district, the restaurant is led by a Chef determined to provide guests with the best quality local produce skilfully crafted and presented at reasonable prices and the Front-of-House Team exude a professionalism that really makes guests feel extremely welcome.But, don't take our word for it - go and try it for yourself!

We went for morning coffee with a view to having lunch. Rang the bell upon arrival to be seated and no-one came so we seated ourselves. It was clear there was a complete lack of staff and leadership until noon. We ordered a cream tea and a Cappucino. The cream tea arrived after about 10 minutes and we were told the drinks were in a queue. Cream tea was finished and still no drinks. Drinks finally arrived at least half an hour after delivery of the cream tea and could only be described as 'warm'. At £4.20 for an individual cup and to serve a cream tea at least half an hour before the drink arrived was unacceptable. We explained to the waitress that the drinks appeared not hot enough. She removed them and returned with replacements and said she had made them exactly the same as the first ones! 'Drink it and shut up sprung to mind!'.It was passable being slightly hotter than the last ones. We appreciated there were only 2 staff on until others arrived at about 12. However, we watched whilst the other staff that arrived later tottered up and down the concrete steps to the wooden enclosure carrying afternoon teas. Who these were for, we have no idea but they seemed to reappear again shortly after and were taken into the kitchen. They seemed to have no concept of the situation as a guest. Aside from the magnificent view, the service was abysmal. It was clear however that the 2 waitresses on for breakfast could not cope, this did not seem to be their fault, it wasnt managed properly and it was very awkward to be part of

We booked a family meal on the terrace (as only outdoor eating is permitted at present). Very friendly and welcoming staff and stunning views over the lake. We were lucky with the weather and if it’s warm or sunny the terrace is definitely recommended. The food was ok - nothing special and a bit limited for choice but that may be understandable given we were only a couple of days into re-opening after the latest lockdown. Also I don’t think the full choice of real ale was available either - probably for similar reasons. It was reasonable value for money. But definitely worth a visit for the setting alone or just a drink.

I came with my sister for lunch to celebrate my birthday. We were seated in the Terrace Bar where we had splendid views over Lake Windermere to the fells beyond on a cold but sunny day. Our waitress was very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. We had tiger prawn linguine and fish and chips accompanied by a beautiful chardonnay and followed with spiced apple cake. Everything was cooked perfectly and many thanks to the kitchen brigade for the surprise with my apple cake. This was my first visit to Langdale Chase but I will certainly return once the Tier system allows.

Between us we had four separate dishes, which we enjoyed and we sent back empty plates. Service was attentive

We stopped off here for lunch. I opted for the ricotta and spinach ravioli (£15) which tasted great but the portion was miserly. Definitely a starter not a main dish. Fortunately my wife had linguine (also £15) which was more generous, so we shared. They need to think a bit more about portion size, if it's advertised as a main dish it should be sized accordingly.

Excellent stay. Fabulous views. Good food. Lovely grounds. Staff couldn’t do enough. Booked to go again in November!

Paramos durante la noche en el hotel (que era encantador) pero muy decepcionados con la cena en el restaurante. Un "mordisco" para empezar fue Warm Paver Loaf con mantequilla de hierbas; lo que llegó fueron 4 piezas de pan frío con mantequilla verde insípida (4,50). Mi marido pidió bistec - bistec, salsa, patatas fritas, medio champiñón grande y tomate - 33. Estamos dispuestos y pagamos regularmente por alimentos de calidad, pero creo que es un alimento común muy caro.

Nos detuvimos cerca y conducimos hacia Ambleside y vimos este hermoso hotel que visitamos al día siguiente, mucho estacionamiento afuera y luego caminamos por el área histórica de paneles de roble antiguo a lo largo de la recepción hasta el área del bar con fantásticas vistas del lago Windermere. Pedimos 2 tés de crema a las 9 cada uno, era encantador en un entorno relajante, el problema que tuvimos fue que el bollo era pequeño y esperábamos uno de tamaño completo, así que no me gustó a pesar de que todo lo demás estaba bien. Después de terminar nuestro té crema salimos a los jardines que estaban hermosamente cuidados con vistas al lago.

Esta fue nuestra primera estancia después de que comenzó la crisis de COVID. Este lugar se ha mostrado como una queja de COVID. Las vistas desde nuestra habitación y el restaurante eran increíbles. La comida era tan deliciosa que llevamos todas nuestras cenas aquí durante la estancia. El restaurante no es barato, pero lo hemos disfrutado mucho :)

Más o menos lo dice todo. Estábamos en régimen de media pensión, pero el tercer día nos habíamos rendido y comimos fuera. En el desayuno pedí tomates y huevos escalfados 2 días consecutivos. Conseguí 2 huevos y 2 tomates el primer día, 1 huevo, 1 tomate el segundo.Una porción de pasta para adultos no fue suficiente para mi hijo de 15 años y tuvimos que pedir más, dos veces (crees que habrían aprendido).Son conscientes de las deficiencias, por lo que existe la posibilidad de que mejoren.

En un paseo en busca de una comida, nos encontramos con este gran lugar, así que llamamos.Pedí una mesa para dos y me ofrecieron la mesa de su elección, cuando pregunté sobre el personal que usaba máscaras, me dijeron que la compañía no creía en eso y que si era un problema, el personal se desinfeccionó majestuosamente mientras pasaban por las estaciones de gel. y todo, incluido el lector de tarjetas, se borró después de su uso.Pescado y papas fritas que comí, más como una ballena y papas fritas, la comida fue fantástica, descubrí que el hermano de mi amigo era el jefe ese día, así que no me sorprendió que fuera bueno.Personal donde, pero el lugar requería decoración, pequeñas cosas como un nuevo detector de humo se instaló y faltaba el papel alrededor, un poco de pintura se habría ocupado y las grietas en el techo requerían atención en el bar.¿Volveré probablemente no, a mucha competencia en el área? Necesito probar más lugares, no hay una reflexión real sobre el lugar que es.

Had dinner and breakfast in conservatory with lovely view of garden and lake Dinner menu good but quite expensive as was wine However worth the cost

After making a prior telephone enquiry with the Langdale Chase in respect of the possibility of a ‘dairy & chocolate free’ Afternoon Tea, and being assured by the receptionist that it would not pose a problem, I duly made a reservation a few weeks later for our small party of 3, reminding her that 1 of which was the ‘dairy free & chocolate’ Afternoon Tea.However, and after looking forward to our treat in a lovely and renowned Lakeland Hotel, for some weeks, I have to say that our special visit was soon cut short.Firstly, the waitress presented the table with 2 Afternoon teas, one of which she announced was ‘chocolate free’, before she managed to knock over a freshly poured cup of black tea all over the crisp white linen tablecloth. However, we realise that we all make mistakes, and sympathised and assisted her with the clearing up. I informed her that only 1 of the AT’s was requested as ‘dairy & chocolate free’, and she duly returned with another, ie the 3rd AT which contained 3 or 4 slices of chocolate cake. She was reminded of our pre-order requirements, and she returned to the table again to inform us that the chocolate cake was made from cocoa, and that it did not contain any dairy! I explained to her that the cocoa element was the problem, ie it is a migraine trigger, and that the dairy element was a digestive problem. She then returned to inform us that the kitchen had informed her that there was nothing available which was dairy free, and they suggested that I order an alternative from the lunch menu, which I did. Whilst a fish finger sandwich and fries are fine, it was not quite what I had (a) ordered in advance of our visit, (b) been informed was no problem, and (c) the experience that I had been looking forward to sharing with my friends. I can eat a fish finger sandwich any day of the week at home. When preparing to leave, I approached the bar to pay for 2 glasses of prosecco which we had ordered on arrival. The polite barman duly informed me that they were ‘complimentary’ on account of the error over our Afternoon tea. He also said that the message ‘just hadn’t reached the kitchen’! On the bar, was a clipboard with the bookings for the afternoon, which clearly showed our table, as 2 AT’s + 1 AT ‘dairy and choc free’, which was also highlighted with a marker pen.I have to say that we will not be returning to the Langdale Chase Hotel, nor will we recommend it to our friends and family. Our 120-mile round trip was an absolute waste of time and money! It was so disappointing!Before returning home later that afternoon, we visited the Lakeland kitchen shop, which is situated near the train station in Windermere, and guess what, we had tea and ‘diary & chocolate free’ cake (almond & orange) – no problem at all there. So, a big thank you to them. And, it was delicious too!!

Había 4 de nosotros reservado para el té de la tarde, que incluía una copa de champán. Realmente no soy fanático de los tés de la tarde y generalmente solo voy a complacer a la familia. En resumen, puedo tomarlos o dejarlos. Sin embargo, esta ocasión resultó ser la mejor de todas. La ubicación del hotel, junto al lago Windermere, es excelente, incluso en un día aburrido y lluvioso, como hemos experimentado. Desde el momento en que llegamos, el servicio fue excelente. El personal era muy atento, nada era demasiado para ellos, y la comida - sándwiches, pasteles y bollos, sin olvidar la crema y la mermelada, eran muy frescos. Debí haberlo disfrutado muchísimo porque cuando nos íbamos sorprendí a mi familia al comentar: "Lo haría de nuevo. "

I booked the afternoon tea through Travel Zoo as a birthday treat. I rang the Langdale Chase to let them know one of us had dietary needs and would require a fat free afternoon tea, explaining that jellies, meringues and fruit were fine as well as sandwiches without butter. I was shocked by the response. I was told that they could not provide the afternoon tea as it was not 'economic' , but they could provide soup and sandwiches! I explained that I had booked the Afternoon Tea and not soup and sandwiches! I rang on three separate occasions asking them to reconsider. I was told I could have my money back or soup and sandwiches. I found the hotel unhelpful and not sympathetic to dietary needs. As a result, I have asked Travel Zoo for a refund.

A lovely setting overlooking the lake and I guess that’s what you pay for. However the food was disappointing. We had recently had Afternoon tea at The a Gilpin which was fantastic and expected the same standard. The photos advertising the ‘experience’ are different from the actual thing. No miniature jellies. No Macarons. No salmon sandwiches. Instead we were given chunky sandwiches, large slabs of ( not nice) carrot cake which we left and pieces of fudge! The cream with the scones was off. And tea bags in pots. The staff all disappeared and we had to search for someone to get more hot water. We tried to find someone as we were leaving to give our vouchers to but in the end just left.On the plus side the champagne was ok . As were the little scones themselves. We expected exquisite baking, presentation and tastes. Got non of those.I think they rely on the name of the hotel and it’s previous reputation. We didn’t stay there so couldn’t comment on that.

wonderful dining experience over looking the lake for someone who is a fussy eater the menu was adapted to suit me many thanks to Jess and Pixie who always made us feel welcome.

Always have this when staying , perfectly cooked fish and the batter is perfect, we always enjoy a nightcap in the conservatory.

Whilst the food was generally ok the clotted cream was far too stiff to spread or dollop, sandwiches were meagrely filled, still had crust on some and some were dry on top from being left out. For a four star establishment not to have a tea/coffee menu seems odd and staff training appears lacking, young ladies next to us had no explanation of the food or drink options and no one needs to hear the staffs battle with their tummy’s and exercise habits

En primer lugar, qué lugar más impresionante, especialmente en el interior con carpintería y paneles, así como la impresionante arquitectura de este lugar.Habíamos reservado el té de la tarde para un regalo de cumpleaños de un amigo.El té de la tarde se estableció en el invernadero, con vistas al lago Windermere, que, siendo enero, la tarde brumosa y ligeramente ventosa no era exactamente cálida, notamos que la puerta del exterior del edificio necesitaba algo. l. C. , con uno de los paneles con hojas pegadas donde estaba a la deriva. Dos de nosotros dejamos nuestros abrigos puestos durante el tiempo, también, tenían mesas redondas, lo que me parece más sociable que cuadrado / oblongo, pero al poner dos mesas redondas juntas de la manera que lo hicieron, había una que sobresalía en el centro de la habitación. .Nos dieron la opción de diferentes cafés y tés, que llegaron unos 10 minutos antes de la comida, nos ofrecieron más té o café cuando llegó la comida.La variedad de sándwiches era deliciosa, con una mezcla de pan integral y pan blanco. Teníamos dos bollos cada uno, uno simple y otro de fruta, estaban calientes (buena temperatura), servidos con una hermosa mermelada y crema coagulada, tuvimos un problema aquí, solo había suficiente Mermelada y crema para dos personas, preguntamos para más y obtuve algunos sin dudarlo, vimos en otra mesa donde estaban tomando un té con crema para dos, que su porción era la misma que la nuestra, tal vez algo que el hotel debería notar, pero como dije, nos dieron más Sin ningún problema. Había dos tipos diferentes de pasteles, el pastel de zanahoria era increíble, pero lo que llamaron el pastel de mermelada estaba ligeramente seco y no tenía sabor, el glaseado en la parte superior era suave, pero la cáscara de mermelada era crujiente y para morirse. También había un brownie de chocolate que era rico y muy agradable. No entendimos el nombre de una galleta tipo domo, era una base de galleta con lo que todos pensábamos que era un relleno de crema cubierto con una fina capa de caramelo, también había un cubo de dulce de azúcar cada uno, teníamos un fanático de dulce de azúcar en nuestra fiesta, que lo describió como fuera de este mundo, uno de los mejores dulces que ha probado. Nos ofrecieron nuevamente más té o café, que es un buen toque.Sí, volveríamos de nuevo, oímos que el hotel se estaba renovando en abril, por lo que esperamos que se incluya el conservatorio.Este probablemente fue uno de los mejores tés de la tarde, y hemos tenido muchos en los últimos cinco años, por el hecho de que era un verdadero té de la tarde clásico.

Finally got here late afternoon, desperate for a scone and a cuppa Beautiful light over the lake as the sun disappeared over the hills Only us in the restaurant so no atmosphere but the tea and cream scones were fabulous! Worth every penny for the view and look forward to another return trip

Desayunamos durante los 2 días que estuvimos. Tenía cóctel y bebidas una noche. Los servidores eran bastante hostiles y tenían una actitud agresiva. Durante el desayuno rechazó nuestra solicitud de asientos a pesar de las mesas vacías sin reservar. Otro servidor se negó a aceptar modificaciones en el desayuno a pesar de mi alergia a los huevos. Tenía que prescindir de los huevos. El servidor ni siquiera se molestó en preguntarle al chef si mi solicitud era posible. Se le dijo un NO rotundo! Definitivamente no volveré a esta propiedad ya que hay muchas opciones.

Most of the poor reviews on TA are for the interior and we never really get that far! On our way back from Borrowdale and the sun is fully out for the first time so it's a right turn into the Langdale Chase. There surely can't be many better places to have a well earned beverage at the end of the afternoon. Sat watching the boats in the warm sunshine, perfect.

Sitting In the sun enjoying a lovely afternoon tea and cocktails overlooking the lake, a please take way to spend an afternoon relaxing in lovely settings

Stayed in the hotel for 3 days in July and ate here for breakfast and lunch each day. Very good, well prepared and served food.

Staff attentive and accommodating. Food excellent, good selection of each course. Wine choices varied and over a reasonable price range.

Went for dinner with my daughter and a friend and was very impressed. The hotel is in a superb location and we had thought it was worth the visit for that alone. However, from the glass of champagne in the conservatory to the dinner in the restaurant all was excellent. Will definitely return.

Un precioso edificio en una ubicación impresionante. Escuchamos que han planeado una renovación en el próximo año que es muy necesaria. La decoración está descolorida y cansada con alfombras raídas y manchadas y sofás caídos. La porcelana estaba desconchada y manchada. Los bollos que teníamos eran fríos, rancios y ridículamente caros por lo que eran. Desafortunadamente, el servicio se combinó con un personal mediocre que no sabía lo que había en el menú y luego tuvo que informarnos que se habían quedado sin el té de la tarde a las 3. 30 hs. La espera de la renovación no parece ser una excusa válida para la falta total de esfuerzo que experimentamos aquí. Qué pena.

Called in at the Langdale Chase Hotel for lunch on our way to Grasmere last week. Food was good, a little on the pricey side but was made up for with the excellent views over the lake!

Inicialmente tenía bebidas fuera en la terraza y las vistas eran fantásticas. El hotel se ve muy cansado y se nos informó que se cerrará para trabajos de renovación más adelante en el año. Los baños cerca de la recepción eran asquerosos y la camarera nos dijo que el personal de limpieza se iba a las 4 pm, por lo que no se revisaron los baños después de esa hora (cenamos en la noche) ¡no hay excusa! La comida era sorprendentemente pobre y demasiado cara para la calidad que se servía. El plato de marisco compartido entre 3 de nosotros era muy apetecible y se sirve con ensalada marchita. Los 3 platos principales eran una lasaña que era una pequeña porción para 14. 99 y ni siquiera se parecía a una lasaña y no había acompañamientos con ella. También un bistec de medio a bien hecho que parecía quemado y un pastel de pollo que contenía enormes trozos de pechuga de pollo en lugar de pequeños trozos de pollo cortado en cubos que generalmente se encuentran en un pastel. En general, la comida era totalmente desagradable y mal presentado y no volveremos.

Comimos como también estábamos allí. Compartimos una bandeja de mariscos y ambos teníamos el plato principal de pato, bien cocinado, he visto comentarios sobre el tamaño de la porción aquí y el pato era pequeño pero elegante, al igual que el postre de ruibarbo que tenía mi esposa, pero también tenía la bandeja que estábamos bien alimentado. Una señora en una mesa contigua tenía el pescado y las papas fritas, el pescado era enorme, así que consulte con el personal antes de ordenar.

Este no es el lugar para ir si tienes hambre, ya que las porciones son pequeñas. Tuve una sopa que no era más que un bocado. Seguido de cordero, que era dos pequeños trozos de cordero y una patata. Eso fue todo, no otras verduras! Seguido por un pastel de queso que no era un pastel de queso! ¡Eran tres chorros de mezcla de pastel de queso con una pequeña cantidad de galletas espolvoreadas sobre la parte superior y dos bayas! ¡Patético, debe haberle tomado al chef todo 1 minuto para ponerlo en un plato en lugar de hacer una tarta de queso! El menú debería haber leído los ingredientes de queso en un plato!

My partner & I went to the hotel, for sum light refreshments, well I had to find a member of staff to serve us to start with.

We had booked for afternoon tea for 7 as a special treat for my mother in law who had memories of going here with her father.

Grab a table by the window “plenty “ wonderful view over lake towards Wray Castle. Nice menu at reasonable prices. The tempura prawn starter was very good and a good serving.mains from fish and chips to lobster gave a fair choice included a vegetarian option. Service was excellent and the staff very friendly without being over familiar. Overall a nice meal in pleasant surroundings at sensible prices.

My partner and I have developed into foodies over the past 6 years, visiting some top restaurants and this place did not disappoint us. The food was excellently presented on the plate, it was absolutely delicious and the flavours were maximised in all the ingredients. The food was superb at a really reasonable price in comparison.

Visitamos aquí, ya que mi tía y su pareja tenían su base aquí durante el fin de semana, así que vinimos a conocerlos ya que estábamos en otro lugar y decidimos tomar un té con ellos.

Fuimos a almorzar debido al tráfico y este lugar apeló debido a la ubicación y hermoso edificio.

Planeado llamar a una bebida en nuestro camino de regreso de Buttermere y había una boda en. El sol brillaba, así que aprovechamos una mesa libre en el fondo del jardín que daba al lago. Absolutamente glorioso. Nos estábamos divirtiendo tanto que decidimos tener un segundo descarado, después de todo, estábamos de vacaciones.

Deliciosas comidas, en un entorno encantador.

Good food, well served by knowledgeable staff. Our waitress (JesseW on the bill) deserves a special mention for her attention to detail. The table was well set up. All our party had favourable reports.

We've enjoyed a coffee on the terrace here in the past but decided to stop for a pre-dinner drink.

We stopped here on 24th August 2018 for a meal. The chef very kindly agreed to cook us a steak even though we were a bit early for evening service. The meal was delicious. My complaint was about the 'Mocktail' I was served. £5.50 for a tumbler filled with ice and topped with lemonade with a couple of crushed raspberries. No sign of lemon juice or mint as described in the menu. The waiter wasn't interested in rectifying it. The service needs improving.

Beautiful terrace and stunning views that is the only good thing about this place. Stopped for meal as a party of 4 adults, terribly slow service, food was cold, inedible and very expensive. Very limited selection of food on the menu. We all left still hungry.

Finally found time to enjoy afternoon tea at a one of the most beautiful spots in the lakes overlooking lake windermere. Amazing cakes, scones and had to sample a cocktail or two as well. Chilled for a couple of hours and then explored the inside of the hotel which is breathtaking.

We stopped by for lunch today with my 80+yr parents. It was delightful. The food is freshly cooked so takes a little while to arrive. It was well worth the wait and superb quality. The wait staff were great. They all seemed to really enjoy their jobs and were so helpful and friendly. It makes such a difference when the staff are good.

What a fantastic building. The original part, is something else, steeped in history. The dining room, unfortunately lets it down. Large windows, great for views but with no openings and no working air conditioning. I could not wait to finish our meal and get out of there. I felt quite poorly. The 3 course lunch was of a good quality and most staff friendly and efficient. I would need to know if there was adequate ventilation to make a return visit. There were people having lunch on the terrace which would have been far better.

Called in passing on a beautiful summers day for lunch on the terrace. The waitress was attentive and polite. Took our order and we were quite happy. However, the food arrived before the drinks. We’d asked for some iced water which never materialised. The food was fine and so were the drinks. We were not the only ones who were kept waiting. By the looks of things they were short staffed? It wouldn’t stop us calling in again however.

The Langdale Chase restaurant offers beautiful views overlooking scenic Lake Windermere. Prices are moderate, but dinner at restaurant is delicious! They feature small, but satisfying, portion sizes (beef is rather expensive, but this may be also due to location). Stephanie, one of the waitstaff at the dinner restaurant, was very exceptional! Lamb was delicious. Lastly, their coffee is very strong (a regional preference), but the cappuccino was phenomenal!

We went to celebrate our son's 15th birthday. The views are spectacular! It's a perfect setting for sun downers. What lets this establishment down is the poor unattentive service . The restaurant menu is the same as the bar menu, very standard pub grub for its grandeur. We were expecting an experience and service on par with Holbeck Ghyll in the area.

Having travelled to the Lakes from Hampshire with friends I decided to pop into the Langdale Chase for lunch knowing that it was on the lake. It was a very hot day and we were able to get a table on the terrace overlooking the lake and it was absolutely stunning. To say that our friends were impressed is an understatement.

The Langdale Chase is a lovely old country house which I believe as with many in The Lake District has been converted into a hotel which is dog friendly, and has sweeping gardens down to the lake side and a lovely terrace where meals and drinks can be taken. The hall is exceptional, with a real log fire in winter, and where afternoon tea can also be taken if you wish. The staff are very friendly, and we had afternoon tea in the hall rather than outside on the terrace or in a lounge. We have stayed here several times over the years but not recently enough to report on the bedrooms though I am confident they will be good - however we and been back for afternoon tea several times. The food was served on a three tier cake stand which as on lots of occasions never looks enough, that is until you start to eat your way through it! It was priced at about right given the lovely location, though at these prices a little more attention to the small things should be de rigueur. A pot of hot water so that you are not waiting for a waiter to freshen your tea pot up, a couple of additional plates and cutlery so that sandwiches and cream cakes/scones can each be eaten on clean plates, and a greater selection of actual tea would be welcome. That said we will return.

Visited langdale chase today on a travelzoo Sunday lunch deal, everything was lovely staff, table, food, service, place n view, great value, I don't know what some people want, kwould definitely visit again.

We were out for a walk and as we past this hotel's gateway we decided to call in and found outside seating overlooking lake Winderemere, perfect for an afternoon drink. The young waitress, Jade, took our order, a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and a decent pint of LangdALE which we really enjoyed and after looking at their restaurant menu we decided to return later for dinner. Arriving for 7.00pm we were seated at our reserved table with a lovely garden view and quickly ordered steak for my wife and I decided on the special beef burger with melted cheese and salad, both cooked to perfection. The meals and service was first class, very professional and we will definitely visit again.

Visited this lovely hotel for lunch with family, service was fantastic nothing was too much trouble and food and drink were amazing , we sat outside with a fantastic lake view. We will definitely be visiting again and would highly recommend!

Our group of 10 were lucky enough to get a table with an uninterrupted view of the lake mid-afternoon on lovely day, we knew the prices could be a little high, but no matter. Two couples ordered an afternoon tea and the others had a cream tea, the former, as you'd expect had good variety of edibles, though disliked the smokey orange cake: it tasted of wood smoke: Yuk!

My best friend and I had arranged to have lunch here and organised it about three weeks ago so we had no idea at the time that we were going to enjoy such beautiful bank holiday weather. We also were unaware that the hotel had changed hands since our last visit in 2016 (though I did know it had been up for sale for some time). Whilst I have always loved the Langdale Chase, and indeed it was a favourite of my mother's, the changes made by Thwaites, the new owners, are definitely for the better. We noticed there were more outside tables facing the lake and we chose to sit at one of these.

We were a group of 43. The Lansdale Chase Hotel proved to be an excellent place fro a Cream Tea and a visit to their Mawson Garden.

All evening meals taken in the hotel - excellent food of a higher standard which makes you want to try other items every time you select your menu. Excellent quality food which helped make the break as certainly was from a quality establishment and not bar food which is offered so often.

We live about 1.5 hours away and have visited the lakes occasionally. But I booked this glorious hotel as a birthday surprise for my husband. It’s a Gem and the best hotel we have ever stayed in abroad or UK. The location is stunning.

We were a party of 4 booked in for afternoon tea, including a glass of champagne. First impressions on arriving were what a stunning location. We were seated in the conservatory with an uninterrupted view of the Lake Windermere and the mountains. Our waitress was pleasant and attentive. We had no complaints about the food which was what you usually associate with afternoon tea, sandwiches, cakes and scones with cream and jam. There were ample refills of tea and coffee. After we finished eating, as the light was fading, we had a walk in the grounds alongside the lake. It was magical. A perfect end to a most enjoyable experience.

We had an excellent Sunday lunch in the main restaurant with a wonderful view of the lake. We booked a table for 2pm and there were very few people in the dining room. The food and service were excellent and we hope to visit again.

We were driving through the Lake District when we saw this beautiful building right on the waterfront. We went in and the staff were incredibly welcoming. We could sit where we wanted and we chose a place by a huge beautiful fire and amazing views over the lakes. I ordered the prawn linguine my daughter only got squid. As soon as my dish arrived and she tasted it, she asked for one too. Absolutely beautiful just as my uncle would make it. Fresh prawns and just the right amount of chilli and garlic, mouth watering. The dessert did not disappoint. We were very very full but we went for the earl grey creme brûlée which was sumptuous and had amazing textures and nuts in it.

Four of us went for afternoon tea - we loved the location and views over the lake ,the public rooms were spacious and comfortable and the staff friendly and welcoming. However the service was chaotic - we put in a simple order for tea and biscuits ,this had to be amended when it was discovered that the biscuits had run out and some scones were suggested as a replacement. The tea ,scones and butter all arrived at different times with about 15 minutes between each serving. After all that the scones were dry and tasteless. !We will not be returning.

A warm welcome and great service was had today at Langdale Chase where my husband and I had afternoon tea. The view over the lake was amazing you forget what a beautiful part of the world we live in. Afternoon tea was a great mixture of slender champagne and coffee relaxing and cosy. Thank you .

Bar meals can be taken in the conservatory or the bar itself. The conservatory overlooks part of the landscaped gardens, the boathouse, lake and far side including the Langdales. Worth the price of the meal just to sit there, especially if you can obtain a window table. Service is friendly and prices not much different to anywhere in the Lakes, varied menu of reasonable quality, afternoon tea and cream teas are available, full bar. The main restaurant also has a long wall completely windowed facing the lake, but the evening meal is a fixed menu with a choice of approx. 3 per course and is rather more expensive. Other guests told us that the restaurant was so warm the day that we arrived that the heating had to be turned down, but on our second day, it was difficult to find anywhere warm, though the staff tried to sort it out, but it was the third day before it became comfortable again. On that second day, people were wearing their coats inside and many guests ate out, control of the heating is something the management need to address for their own benefit as well as for their customers. There is a large car park, but can be busy if a function is taking place. One step at entry, otherwise all on one level.

Having sailed past this fabulas building on the lake cruise and wished to stay there my husband booked as a surprise break after xmas. It is a topclass hotel,but not what i thought it would be,like some country house hotels are all stuffy and upperclass,this place has some lovelly friendly staff,great food,huge rooms and beds,large fluffy towels.views to die for,and the location is amazing,it snowed while we were there and we walked round the grounds right at the lake side,i love it and would recommened a visit.

We met family here for lunch and it was beautiful. We were right on the edge of Lake Windermere with fantastic views. The lunch menu was good and we all enjoyed our lunch with drinks from the bar. The young lady who served us was helpful and pleasant and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It is an extremely old hotel but very comfortable and well worth a visit.

We thought that the menu was innovative overall. Try the fish with beans if they have it...it doesn't sound great at first glance...but the flavor was excellent. The service was very good as well.

Loved everything about this hotel & restaurant. Service is a high standard...staff are well trained, professional & knowledgeable & food is delicious. Best place to eat & wonderful not having to go out. Breakfast is a must here.

Celebrated our wedding here as part of the sole mate celebration the hotel provides the staff where superb very attentive and helpful the food was delicious lots of care taken with presentation and full of flavour devoted staff make for a relaxed and friendly environment the decor needed a little love perhaps some restoration of the wounderful art work and the fixture and fittings the only thing that stopped me giving excellent was the bedroom was a little tired few cracks in the bathroom suite this is me noticing the little things and they provided a twin bed two singles pushed together instead of a double (honeymoon couple) also I would have liked a full length mirror as it was my wedding day and I wanted check if I look perfect as for the grounds and views wow breath taking wounderful perfect for wedding photos I’d stay again in a heart beat

This hotel does not live up to first impressions. On the plus side the lakeside setting is amazing and the gardens are beautiful. We were initially delighted with our room in the Lake House as it was spacious, the bathroom was lovely and the view from the balcony was stunning. However, on closer inspection one of the chairs had a nasty split in the wood and the cushion on dressing table stool was in dire need of repair. There was a coffee maker (which used pods), but a meagre offering of tea bags and coffee on the tray on the other side of the room and no fresh milk or biscuits which should have been included in the room given the fact the rate was £170 per night. Breakfast was very poor and really would not have been out of place in a motorway service station. I expected a wide selection of fresh fruits, yogurts, cereals etc but there was a very limited range on offer. The hot part of the breakfast was very unappetising, as it was not freshly cooked to order, as I was expecting, but was already out in warming dishes, looking pale and definitely uninteresting. Also the carpet in the breakfast room was stained and urgently needs replacing.

Listo para un almuerzo ligero me automovilismo a lo largo de la calle cuando me encontré con este lugar. Estacioné y entramos a la vuelta de la esquina a encontrarte con el esplendor del lago! El día era azul, cálido y bastante excepcional para un verano británico uno en Cumbria! Bebí en la escena. A lo largo de una terraza de piedra eran varias mesas de madera con sillas. Personas sentadas en parejas y grupos a lo largo de la longitud entera de, todos buscan cenar al aire libre y como si estuvieran disfrutando de la experiencia. Me decidí a unirme a los comensales. Me senté en una mesa grande y fue atendido inmediatamente por un joven camarero que me dio el menú y me preguntó qué me gustaría beber. Por desgracia, estaba conduciendo, así que pedí agua con hielo y volvió casi inmediatamente con una jarra de cristal, y el pedido de sandwiches de salmón ahumado con una pequeña ensalada mixta y a la izquierda. Me echaban una copa y conciencias la sed, entusiasmadamente tomando en la escena gloriosa antes que yo: yates, canoas, botes de alta velocidad, un vaporizador. . . y, más tarde, parecía, una mosca en mi honor real pasado! Dos de los aviones de dos motores WW 11 quad. Absolutamente encantador. Hice algunas fotos preciosas de todos estos modos de transporte y esperado la llegada de mi sándwiches con anticipacion dispuestos. Un camarero llegó con un plato de sándwiches de ensalada de pollo, bien presentados. No es mía, sino de otros huéspedes, SUPUSIMOS. Mmmm. . . Miré mi reloj. . . La srita. Volvió a mí con lo que se cree que es el mismo y sándwiches de pollo que le aseguró que no eran míos, ya encargué el salmón ahumado que. He oído que alguien detrás de mí que mutter pensamos que encargué la variedad de salmón ahumado y eventualmente los sándwiches elegido fueron entregados a mi mesa. La salvación para esta discrepancia pidiendo ser la enormidad de la encantadora vista al siempre cambiante y en frente de la terraza, debajo de la cual hay algunos magníficos jardines en los que pasear libremente. El personal era encantador, todos y cada uno que hable y resuelto. Encantador y servicial en todos los sentidos. Después de comer fui al hotel para hacer uso de las instalaciones. . . . Yo antes en gasped! Este hotel es una joya! Está repleta de tanta historia, es increíble. Ventanas de vidrio con emblemas de la familia ubicada en el vidrio. Pinturas al óleo de los propietarios originales ubicada en paneles de roble antiguo. Y balaustradas de roble con galería que conduce el pararse sensacional escalera. Asientos de ventana, curiosos pasajes diminutos con inserciones vidrieras. Prensas talladas en roble antiguo y baúles de cajones y cajones. Las chimeneas originales. El lugar es un tesoro. Sí, es oscuro, está lleno de tanta historia. Su imaginación va armando jaleo! Un miembro femenino del personal, muy agradable, reiteró algunas de las misma historia. Me dijo que el hotel va a ser renovada, que madura se contrajo. Yo no he hecho. Se puede hacer con gran esmero y mantener todas las piezas originales insitu, creo. Esto será caro, pero suuuuper vale la pena! Sí, por supuesto que volveré! Para mí fue un descubrimiento maravilloso. Los sandwiches pedí estaban muy bien presentado y lleno de sabor. El salmón ahumado era de buena calidad. Que se derretía en la boca. Pedí un budín y capuchino - todo, hermoso y sabrosa. Sí, había una discrepancia. . Y QUE YO. estoy dispuesto a pasar por alto como errores. El personal se disculpó. No me puedo quejar del servicio que recibí el lunes. Era de clase muy arriba. casi Una hora o así. Muchísimas gracias a todos de verdad.

Llamado para bebidas y un aperitivo a media tarde. Nosotros 5. Ensalada de gambas que teníamos estaba bien simplemente aparte de algún tipo de extraño bulto marrón que era nada superficial como el pan crujiente en el menú. sandwich de jamón. . . . . Así, así. Otro sandwich de nuevo. La mitad izquierda. Pero la pieza de la resistencia fue el bollo con mermelada y nata. Un montoncito de cosas de color marrón sólido duro era el bollo supongo? ? ? ? Ponerla en claro. No me tiro de los patos de dare. Ellos concussed hubiera o se hundía.

We had dinner in the bar area last night. Food was quite ok, above average - mezza plate for entree; I had chicken with vegetables and my husband had the sea bass. But, the view from there is spectacular!! It's right on the lake with gorgeous gardens. It's good to just pop in for a drink even just to see the view!

Went to a family Wedding here,it was a lovely old Hotel wonderful views & very helpful staff. Stayed for one night but would definitely recommend.

This three star hotel was changing hands during our visit and some smallish necessary improvements can be expected. It is not cheap but the gardens and lake views make it a perfect location between Windermere and Ambleside, two lovely villages five miles apart.The staff were very friendly and served nice breakfasts and dinners. We stayed in the Lake House very close to the main House. Spacious rooms and bathrooms. We also had a balcony overlooking Lake Windermere and the 120 year old designer garden on over four acres. Things were lacking in the accommodation which can be remedied.

My fiancé and I loved Langdale Chase and planned to have our wedding there . . . until we tried the food. Under-ripe melon, tasteless soup, leathery beef could possibly have been forgiven in view of the lovely setting and friendly staff, but whilst the chicken was good, both desserts were terrible. I had tarte au citron, which had curdled, and had the texture of sweet scrambled egg. The pastry underneath was soggy. The Australian pavlova roulade bore zero resemblance to a roulade at all - instead we were served three lumps of sweet, slimy foam. Very, very unpleasant - however in fairness we then asked to try the sticky toffee pudding which wasn't charged to us and tasted fine. Unfortunately we weren't able to discuss the issues with Andrew (the manager/wedding coordinator) at the time because he was finishing for the day, but generally he was really helpful and always came back with responses to questions very quickly.It's such a shame because Langdale Chase would be a beautiful, special place to get married and we were tempted to overlook the issues with the food . . . but, coupled with the fact that although spacious and many with beautiful aspects, the bedrooms in the main building are dated and tired, we sadly decided to look elsewhere and we found there are several more hotels in the lakes with equally lovely settings/right on the waters edge with good food.I think Langdale Chase would be a magnificent place if the décor in the bedrooms were brought up to scratch and food served to a consistently good standard . . . but it's not quite there in our experience.

Having had a trip on the Lake we decided to round off the day with dinner at the Langdale Chase - a favourite spot for coffee/light lunches and teas - especially in the conservatory.We anticipated dining in the dining room, but possibly due to a wedding the next day we were to dine in the conservatory. The menu was fixed at £39 per head. Three of us chose the cod as our main course after a tasty Goat's cheese 'mousse'. I have to say this was not very warm but had clearly been kept 'warm' under lights which had overcooked the top so it was difficult to remove the skin. I finished with a rhubarb mousse, which was slightly too sweet for my taste - I do like tarty fruits - but light and delicious.As this was to be the highlight of our three day visit to the Lakes I felt disappointed. I have known the Langdale Chase for some 50 years always as a top class establishment. No doubt we will return because of the wonderful lakeside position and views up the lake to the Langdales

Our daughters Wedding was held at the hotel on February 22nd. The whole experience was simply magical due in no small part to Andrew and his staff who provided outstanding service, nothing was to much trouble. The hotels facilities are the last word in comfort and homeliness the breakfast were a delight as we're the dinners. Our room was spacious and so well appointed, with the added bonus of spectacular views across the lake and beyond.Thank you everyone!

When we visit the lakes always like to go here for lunch in the conservatory,the view is lovely overlooking the lake and if weather good you can sit outside.Food always good my husband had smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich l did not fancy a sandwich but love the Australian pavalova so had that instead!

We visited here one evening recently for a bar meal. We entered the hotel, couldn't see any staff, but managed to find our way to a smallish, very dark bar at the back of the hotel. There was no-one there, staff or guests, but pretty soon a waiter arrived and served us drinks and gave us the menu. My husband noticed a dimmer switch which brightened things up slightly. The lighting that is, not the atmosphere. The decor is dated and made worse by the dark wood panelling and poor lighting. Not very wlecoming at all.We had noticed a few people in the main restaurant, but as the waiter told us, it was a quiet night, with just four rooms booked, which would explain the absence of other people in the bar. To be fair, the conservatory was closed for refurbishment, so our experience may have been better if we'd eaten in there.The food was ok, nothing more than that, and I wasn't too keen on the wine coming in individual bottles. I would have expected better from a hotel of it's size. From our experience that evening I would say it's unlikely that we'll go there again.

We stopped here for an unplanned late lunch/early dinner having previously driven past the place hundreds of times. We also got lucky that we chose a warm and sunny day at the end of September and were able to sit outside on the raised terrace. The views across Windermere were absolutely beautiful. It was an amazing place to sit and eat their lovely sandwiches, drink tea/coffee and we treated ourselves to a scone and a brownie. The service was top-notch, everybody was very friendly and made us want to return. After eating, we walked around the well maintained gardens down toward Windermere shore. The entrance and downstairs rooms are very attractive with lots of wood panelling. Would be nice to stay in the hotel one day and get to enjoy the top-notch professional service, food and drink on offer.
