Across reviews, Glaramara Hotel stands out for its breathtaking, remote setting ideal for walkers, consistently friendly staff, very clean spaces, and generally comfortable, modern rooms, with many guests also praising the quality of both breakfast and dinner.
Several mention a single 7:30 pm dinner sitting, limited choices and higher pricing, despite frequent compliments about taste. Some report drawbacks such as noise from external equipment near certain rooms, overly warm bedrooms, and weak in-room Wi-Fi. An on-site bar, lounge spaces, and a large car park are appreciated, and dog-friendly touches are noted. Expect a scenic, well-run base for hiking with welcoming service and structured dining.

Absolutely loved our stay here for bank holiday weekend. Such a clean hotel with lovely staff and a really beautiful hotel right in the heart of the mountains. It is dog friendly too which was perfect. We walked into Seatoller for dinner which was 5 minutes away and dined in the Yew Tree pub which was delicious and spent the rest of the night at the hotel outside with a wine. Only downside for us was that the hotel room was very hot during the night despite the radiator being off! But overall we would definitely stay again

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...

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.

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.

We have been staying in hotels around Derwentwater for in excess of 20 years. The Glaramara experience tops the lot! We will not be looking for an alternative hotel in future. The accommodation was spacious and well laid out. Much thought has gone into furnishing and decoration of the hotel interior. Everywhere was bright and spotlessly clean. But above all was the standard of service and friendliness of the staff. A fabulous hotel.

Not brilliant, to be honest. The setting is stunning, the staff perfectly friendly and helpful. The single room I had was a little travel lodge like. From photos, the doubles look a little more worthy of the price. The main issue I had was the dinner. Firstly, the regimented 7.30pm dining time is something I've never experienced in the many i've stayed in in my life. It felt a little school-like, congregating at the dining-room and taking our seats for a meal chosen that morning at breakfast. Very strange. Secondly, the food was ok, not brilliant, but main quibble was, every evening i was there, it was something with mash. Always. Mash mash mash. No choice of any other potato. Additionally, no choice of what vegetable side. The same snap peas every night, with either broccoli or carrots, plain. For what would normally be £45 for a three course meal, you'd think we could choose our sides and what potato we would like. Now, if you book dinner over a week in advance you get a £10 discount. Ok. But still, I had mash for three consecutive nights. All this suspiciously suggests it is alleviating as much work for the chef as possible. Doesn't happen at the Bridge Hotel, which I would certainly recommend over this I'm afraid. Staff and everyone excellent as I say. Clean, gorgeous setting, just wish it were a little more like a hotel when it comes to meal. Oh, and flies. A hell of a lot of flies kept us company in the dining room, lounge and foyer.

Don‘t book room 314. It looks out onto the kitchen or laundry in the back with just a sliver of the mountain above the roof as a „view.“. The real problem is the noise. A compressor goes off intermittently all day and into the night and early morning. Super annoying. In addition, at 6:30 am the work evidently starts because there is a loud racket outside the window as carts are shoved about. There are nice solo rooms in the front, so beware if they assign you 314.

Very clean, comfortable hotel in a beautiful remote setting. Local eating options without driving are very limited to the Hotel, the Yew Tree Pub (excellent food and atmosphere) or campsite cafe which is only open during day and early Saturday evenings. Hotel does breakfast which starts late 7.45 am and ends 9.15, light lunch and one dinner session at 7.30 pm. Dinner is very expensive with very limited options. Ate dinner once. It was ok. Dinning room staff at breakfast could be more customer friendly.

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.

Visited solo for some fell walking. The location is unbeatable for whole day walks direct from the hotel up to nearby fells like Dale Head, Great Gable, or Newlands Valley to Cat Bells. Hotel was all good, comfortable modern room, well run, amazing views from the room. Food was excellent.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Glaramara and this was especially due to the lovely staff who could not have been more helpful. Had an excellent meal in the hotel restaurant.

This was my first trip solo with the pooch, and it was brilliant. The staff were amazing and helped me every step of the way. Upgraded on arrival, rooms very clean and food incredible.

Very clean, comfortable hotel in a beautiful remote setting. Local eating options without driving are very limited to the Hotel, the Yew Tree Pub (excellent food and atmosphere) or campsite cafe which is only open during day and early Saturday evenings. Hotel does breakfast which starts late 7.45 am and ends 9.15, light lunch and one dinner session at 7.30 pm. Dinner is very expensive with very limited options. Ate dinner once. It was ok. Dinning room staff at breakfast could be more customer friendly.

Not brilliant, to be honest. The setting is stunning, the staff perfectly friendly and helpful. The single room I had was a little travel lodge like. From photos, the doubles look a little more worthy of the price. The main issue I had was the dinner. Firstly, the regimented 7.30pm dining time is something I've never experienced in the many i've stayed in in my life. It felt a little school-like, congregating at the dining-room and taking our seats for a meal chosen that morning at breakfast. Very strange. Secondly, the food was ok, not brilliant, but main quibble was, every evening i was there, it was something with mash. Always. Mash mash mash. No choice of any other potato. Additionally, no choice of what vegetable side. The same snap peas every night, with either broccoli or carrots, plain. For what would normally be £45 for a three course meal, you'd think we could choose our sides and what potato we would like. Now, if you book dinner over a week in advance you get a £10 discount. Ok. But still, I had mash for three consecutive nights. All this suspiciously suggests it is alleviating as much work for the chef as possible. Doesn't happen at the Bridge Hotel, which I would certainly recommend over this I'm afraid. Staff and everyone excellent as I say. Clean, gorgeous setting, just wish it were a little more like a hotel when it comes to meal. Oh, and flies. A hell of a lot of flies kept us company in the dining room, lounge and foyer.

A very good, slightly formal hotel that's maintained to a high standard. Breakfasts are generous. Rooms well kept. Dinners well prepared. Location was perfect for us as it wasn't too busy. My only constructive feedback is that staff were not the friendliest I've encountered. However, all in all a good experience and happy we stayed there.

I had a few days in Northumberland with overnight stays of varying levels of quality and value for money. It was always my plan to stay near the Lakes on my last night before heading home and I’m so glad I chose this hotel. Staff were very friendly and the service was perfection. You preorder your dinner which is served at a set time in the evening, which worked really well and everything working like clockwork. Lovely room and really comfortable bed. Beautiful views from the front of the hotel and although I was at the back I had an equally lovely view of two horses grazing in a field nearby. Breakfast was tasty and ample. I cannot speak highly enough of the hotel and hope to return one day.

A stay at The Glaramara is one of my annual “guilty pleasures”! It is not a cheap option but it is an excellent hotel. High quality rooms, friendly & efficient staff, great cuisine and plenty of parking. The location, overlooking some of the great fells of The Lakes is breathtaking.
