Langdale Hotel & Country Club, Chapel Stile, Cumbria

Langdale Hotel & Country Club - Hotel Description

Founded on the site of an abandoned 19th century gunpowder works and featuring carefully preserved reminders of its history, this estate offers a superb range of facilities.

Choose from the 2 restaurants, 3 bars and a traditional Lakeland pub. Use the excellent leisure facilities, which include a heated indoor pool.

The Langdale Hotel offers an unusual blend of luxury with a more relaxed and casual atmosphere than a traditional Lake District hotel. Dotted with massive milestones and set in attractive surroundings, the hotel is an interesting and comfortable place to stay.

The Langdale Hotel & Country Club is a natural woodland haven with streams and tarns, dotted with massive millstones and other carefully preserved reminders of its history as a 19th century gunpowder works.

In harmony with its beautiful and peaceful setting, the bedrooms have been converted from original historic buildings close to the main facilities, some alongside the sparkling waters of the river, others looking onto high fells or nestling in the wooded beauty of the Estate.

The Country Club is considered one of the biggest and best facilities in the North of England. Guests can enjoy outstanding views of the surrounding Estate from the 20 metre pool and the twelve-person spa pool.

The Langdale offers a choice of dining including the intimate Purdey's Restaurant, the more informal bistro style Terrace Restaurant and a traditional Lakeland pub, Wainwrights Inn.
