From reception to checking out staff were pleasant and professional, hotel was spotless and very well maintained. Food was lovely, especially the breakfast. Only small criticism was size of room for a twin , which was a little cramp although the bathroom was a good size.

Perfect location. All staff extremely friendly and helpful from bar to waiting staff in restaurant. Marta on reception was absolutely lovely and helpful she added son to our booking for evening meal on last minute with no hesitation. Evening meal was one of the nicest meals we have ever had. Taste and presentation exemplary. We will certainly be recommending this hotel to friends and family and we hope to visit again soon.

Pleasant stay
Glaramara is located in a beautiful location surrounded by hills. The location is secluded yet it is just 15mins drive from the keswick centre. The facilities and amenities are very good. Rooms have nice and very clean with view of the green hills surrounding it. Totally worth the money.

Too loud, bright and hot
This was the most expensive hotel of my trip to date, i expected more. It looked really nice but the finish wasnt top notch. You couldnt hear the loud music due to the racket made from something that sounded like it was about to blowup. That did finally quieten down however i couldnt block the light from everywhere including under the door which i dont think meets fire regs but the worst thing was it was so hot. Oh and you have to eat at a certain time so dont be late.

The road to the property from Keswick was narrow and in one or two places only one vehicle could pass. Once there, the scenery was magnificent, the hotel was exceptionally clean throughout, our room was large (as was the very comfortable bed) and the en-suite shower room was sparkling. The breakfast was very good and each room`s table had a place name on it. Coffee and/or tea and toast were individually served to your table though the remainder of the breakfast was help yourself from a buffet bar. Altogether an excellent and enjoyable stay.

Great place, all good.
Perfect location in Borrowdale with great Mountain views from the lounge and patio. The hotel runs like clockwork, everything was clean and worked well. Breakfast was excellent, especially the perfect poached eggs. Very good choices for dinner. Very reasonable room rates - brilliant value for money. Nothing negative to say.

Relaxing and secluded private hotel in woodland setting. Great staff, amazing food, comfy bed, good bar with craft beer and nice lounge to relax and enjoy the view. 10 mins south of Borrowdale so no lake view but the mountain view from my room and dining table was spectacular. At night there's no noise pollution, just the occasional call of sheep and the wind rustling the leaves...

Lovely trip.
My stay was lovely. Came here with my friend and our dogs. We both got single rooms which eere the cutest. We were given dog bowls, towles and a bed in the room which was a nice touch. Only place our dogs werent allowed was the resturants so they set us up a little table in the bar for us to have breakfast. Will 100% be returning
