Glaramara Hotel

The hotel is beautiful with stunning Field and mountains surrounding the hotel. Very open with a good carpark. All the staff were fantastic and accommodated for my medical needs without any issues. I will be coming back here next time I'm in the lakes

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.

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

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

Lovely hotel with excellent facilities and staff in a superb setting.

Large hotel offering good sized rooms, comfortable beds and complimentary breakfast. There's a restaurant on site as well as a bar along with lounge areas. The views are amazing especially when the sun shines. There are plenty of opportunities for walking, a large carpark and a bus stop only a 2 minute walk away.

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.

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...

Great hotel in lovely location. On site restaurant excellent. Staff really friendly and helpful. Rooms are a great standard and we traveled with our dog so he had his own dog bed towel and bowl! Defo be back

Very friendly staff A good breakfast Loved the extra touches for my 2 dogs. Bed bowl and towel lovely grounds would definitely stay again

Great stay, clean and well presented hotel. Bedroom nice with excellent shower. Breakfast was buffet style but with good quality produce and was very tasty. Enjoyed our stay here, would come back.

Gorgeous hotel in stunning location. Very clean. Would definitely go back.

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.

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.

Excellent hotel beautiful location. The rooms are clean and beds very comfortable. Would definitely recommend

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.

Very clean, friendly staff, stunning location, we can't fault the hotel. Had our evening meal here and my wife had her breakfast, both were of a high standard with an ample amount to satisfy our appetite.

Outstanding hotel. friendly and helpful staff, very clean and fresh decor. Comfortable well equipped room. Excellent meal and breakfast.

Modern hotel with sizeable rooms, in a great location for walking

Beautiful place. Downside is the heater doesn’t work all the time, or at all some days. Wifi is almost nonexistent if you are not close to the common area. And the hot water is not really “hot” lukewarm at best.

Good stay with newly renovated rooms.

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.

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.

Notably prompt service at breakfast, high standard fit and finish of rooms and building

Professional service with an informal, friendly approach. Relaxed environment for customers throughout the hotel, which is not an easy art to implement… kudos to senior management and the operational team!

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.

A great value stay in a beautiful location with great food and great service; I will be coming back!😊👍

Beautiful hotel in a lovely quiet location with great views. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. The food is amazing. Can definitely recommend and I’m sure we will visit again.

The staff were really helpful and friendly. I’m gluten and dairy intolerant and the restaurant went out of its way to accommodate my requirements. The food was amazing.

Modern hotel with sizeable rooms, in a great location for walking

Where it is sited AMAZING

Gorgeous hotel in stunning location. Very clean. Would definitely go back.

Big hills all around. Hourly bus to Keswick, even in December. Superb heating and chef !

Excellent location for getting away from it all with superb walks from hotel. Views from hotel are to die for. Hotel recently renovated and rooms well thought out.

Over priced bland food

The single sitting dinner is a little eccentric given the number of guests, but the food is good

Lovely hotel staff amazing food was out of this world and the location took my breath away beautiful place to stay
