We ordered the Sunday Roast hoping for something home made. The Yorkshire pudding was great. The sides were ok. The roast beef was tough, barely warm and tasted microwaved like they broke out a box of pre-prepped beef. What a disappointment. We should have stayed with the pub side of the house for half the price.

My Husband and I spent one night at the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel during our recent UK Road trip. I…read morewish that we had spent an entire weekend, as it was very lovely and relaxing. We were given a room on the second floor over looking the side garden and it was perfect. It was so quiet, with a long interior hall that set it back from the other rooms. The bathroom and hallway were a few steps above the main bedroom, make the bedroom feel like a separate space. There was lots of natural light, especially in the bathroom. The bathroom had the added bonus of a heated towel rack and heated floors. It was clean, spacious and modern. I loved the room! I also really enjoyed the downstairs lounge area, where we sat and used the free-wifi, another big bonus. This hotel isn't close to a lot, so it feels like a big escape from outside life. It's relaxing! I thought that the breakfast that was included was really nice. They served great locally made yogurt and a full cooked breakfast. We has the Sunday Roast in the bar, which led to a funny story. On the written hotel survey, I wrote that the "beef was a little fatty". I'm sure that they think I'm a crazy American, because my English husband got a good laugh and informed me that I had been eating lamb, not beef. It was the joke of the trip. The staff was nice, but a little overwhelmed. They had just hired a bunch of new employees from Australia and we were there on their first week, while they were still getting the hang of things. They were all very friendly and trying their best, but we had to wait a long time for things and there were a few mix-ups. Nothing that was a big deal though. This is a wonderful hotel in a very beautiful location. I highly recommend staying here!

Biggest complaint was the winding and neverending walk to the back of the hotel, which was where our room was.

We loved the area- enjoyed hiking from the many landings around Derwentwater, and also mountain biking in nearby Whinlatter. While the decor of the hotel is a bit dated, the staff were friendly and the food was traditional and good. We stayed in July, and while we were at first excited to have a room over-looking the main pedestrian street in Keswick, this soon turned to a negative as we heard the bar crowd late into the night and then the market trucks setting up very early in the morning. If it were winter, we could have closed the windowns, but if we stay again in summer, I'll request a room at the back.

This was the first stop of my birthday weekend planned by my girlfriend and we were here for the afternoon tea. The offerings of the tea itself were great, a nice selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes all with a huge pot of English tea! Now, the views - they are spectacular and you probably can't beat these views to sit and enjoy a drink on the balcony! We had a good 30 minutes outside but then the wasps attacked and we had to go back in to sit on the extremely comfy sofas! I can't speak for the hotel itself in regards to rooms - but for a traditional, enjoyable and good value afternoon tea - Beech Hill is a good bet!

The rooms are clean with everything you could want, need or ask for, except a telly. The beds are comfortable, though the thermostat on the room means they're a bit warm for my liking and on both occasions I've stayed on the ground floor so leaving the window open wasn't an option. There's good sized baths and the bathrooms are, overall, top notch. I do like the kelp based soap and moisturiser that's provided. Foodwise, I've detected a slip in the quality between now and two years ago. It's still very good service and excellent quality produce, preparation and cooking but there's definitely been a slip. Though perhaps they can be forgiven, since they were serving 160 of us pretty much simultaneously! The rest of the hotel is really nice. You can tell it's pretty old and the book detailing the history of the hotel will attest to that too! The book is particularly worth a look if you're a Wordsworth fan! The view from the front is amazing, right out over the marina of Lake Windermere, it definitely wakes you up in the morning! The staff are wonderful during the conference preparation and are great at getting a room from 'presentation mode' to 'ceilidh mode' in a short time. They also put up with a lot scientists who somebody gave free wine to, so I can tell you they're patient and well mannered too!

So she came back to the table with my friend's meal a moment later and she asked me what I ordered. I told her the vegan pie. Then they came back a third time with more staff and they told me the bartender said I ordered the burger. Why does this matter? Of course the bartender thinks I ordered what he wrote down. Why would I mistake what I ordered? Did they think I was trying to rip them off because the burger was cheaper or something ( I don't even know if it was), it felt a bit insulting. Then when I finally got my pie, it didn't come with mashed potatoes or fries. I asked the waitresses, isn't this supposed to come with potatoes, and she told me no. On my way out I double checked the menu at the door and indeed it was supposed to come with either mashed potatoes or fires. Made me really angry....oh and how was the pie? It was okay. The crust was slightly undercooked but the inside was decent. Nothing to write home about.

Our rooms, which were on the 2nd floor, were immaculate and very comfortable. The breakfast, with the wonderful Cumberland sausages, was very tasty and filling. My only complaint was that if your room is on the top floor, there is no lift, and you have to carry your luggage up 2 flights of stairs. Were were traveling over a 3-week period, so ours was heavy and bulky, making it difficult to get our things to our rooms. And there was no one to help with this. I would stay here again, but definitely request a room on the first floor.

The Glenburn hotel in Cumbria and the one in Darjeeling , India are awesome. The tranquil serenity…read moreand surroundings combined with old world charm and hospitality are a hallmark with these two hotels. They work it to uncommon levels not found in most others and that sets them apart uniquely. It is like how specialized in certain areas of hospitality the game reserve/wildlife park resorts/inns/bed and breakfast places are. There are also a variety of treetop hotels around the world that have their own charm as do the beach resorts/bungalows and such at various locations. The one thing that these two Glenburn hotels don't share in common is the English countryside on the one hand and the Himalayan Mountain Range (Mt.Everest) piercing the skies on the other. Fog is common at both, which I always like for one reason or another. Both must visit/experience special destinations, without question. One of my fave Uncles, a really jovial and witty guy was director of the Darjeeling Zoological/wildlife Park, back in the day. He was,among other things known for a project he developed and saw to fruition. Saving the rare Blood Pheasant. He decided Glenburn was ideal for them to propagate, and so it was as well, as it turned out happily. So there is another tidbit to have for over the 'Cuppa' or 'Hocuppa' tea as they call it in some parts of England. Conversation/Chit-Chat and so on, you know. Yes indeed,all that great stuff that's more and more hard to come by these days and when it does, it's all the more special and is stuff that dreams are made of.
