랭데일 호텔 앤드 스파

This is in an idyllic location, with stunning surroundings. The accomodation is beautiful hotel rooms or lodges, as well as a Spa and pub on the estate. The hotel room was finished to a high standard. The Stove restaurant was great for breakfast and evening dining, as well as Wainwrights Pub for a great bar meal. Another local pub is only 5 minutes walk out of the estate. A very peaceful, relaxing stay and other busier places such as Ambleside or Windermere only about 20 minutes drive away.

Booked a nights stay in a waterside room with spa at Brimstone, 3 course evening meal and breakfast for my mother in laws 60th birthday. I’m never one to leave negative reviews but considering how expensive it is here and how it’s advertised as luxury holidays and luxury spa breaks in the Lake District it was a serious disappointment. The grounds and the room we had (174) was absolutely gorgeous. So clean and really well maintained. It’s set in such a beautiful part of the lakes with amazing views of langdale. The Wainrights Inn is great, lovely pub with gorgeous views from their beer garden and the food although we didn’t eat looked lovely and prices were really reasonable. The Brimstone spa was a huge disappointment. We were given a leaflet with of which rooms to use in which order for the heat and cold experience problem was 4 of them were totally out of order! What’s the point in giving guests that guidance when they know there’s so much not working. No one even mentioned it to us when we checked into the spa so it was really disappointing when we soon realised. I’ve done quite a few spas with all of them much more reasonably priced and can honestly say the Brimstone spa was totally underwhelming. We had a reservation for dinner at the Stove and went early so we could enjoy a drink outside before dinner. The service was shocking! One guy on the bar and the rest of the staff just stood chatting whilst customers waited an age to be served. Menu options out of stock and the food wasn’t good at all. One of the starters we had was buttermilk chicken and the chicken wasn’t edible - it was a pure ball of fat/gristle. Staff didn’t even ask if the food was ok despite it all being left. We had to awkwardly inform them it wasn’t edible. The rest of the food was below average and lukewarm. For somewhere that charges almost £500 for the package we got it was a complete disappointment. I wouldn’t recommend at all. You expect when paying that sort of money you’ll get great service, facilities and quality food but it just wasn’t the case here. I did pass my comments onto management who initially offered to give us 2 free drinks! 2 drinks on an almost £500 package that was in my opinion completely not worth it isn’t acceptable. They’ve now offered a £50 voucher to spend with them for when I next return however not sure I’d bother returning and spending any more money here. Appreciate they’ve acknowledged and hopefully they sort things out as it could be unreal. My advice would be - book somewhere else. If it’s a special occasion there’s several others in the lakes that are much nicer. Or just book a trusty YHA private room and go explore the natural beauty the lakes has to offer!
