I have stayed here twice when walking C2C and decided to book a 5 night stay to complete the Central Fells. A fabulously peaceful place to stay, fantastic location, food and staff. Full board option perfect for long days on the fells.

5 Night Stay for Central Fells

This was the loveliest place to stay. I was so happy to have been allocated the Bothy. Imagine how wonderful it is to open your door to be greated by beautiful mountains and a calm 'garden' each morning. I slept so well in my comfy bed. The room was spotlessly clean and I had all I needed. The staff were welcoming and helpful. The food was plentiful and delicious and served with a smile. I went alone but was part of a lovely group of people who like myself had signed up for one of the art holidays. This was an absolute pleasure to have been a part of. The art days were fabulous. I never felt alone. If you want a bit of space, there are lots of places to find your own little piece of calm in the grounds. The friendly red squirrel might appear if you're lucky. Car parking was an absolute bonus and I walked into the village many times. It was only a few minutes pleasant walk away. A really lovely stay. Thanks to all. 

A calm treasure.

Once again a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The room was comfortable and clean, with fully cooked breakfasts and tasty evening meals. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend this for a reasonably priced and comfortable stay in the Lake District. 

Lovely..as always :)

We booked this through Booking.com and we’re a little worried as we are not Quakers. However we should not have worried. Everyone was so friendly, nothing was too much trouble, there was tea and coffee on tap, lovely gardens or areas inside to sit and enjoy the tranquility, even after we had checked out. We were able to leave our car whilst we had places in Grasmere to go to. Everywhere was spotless, lovely big room , brilliant shower, and the food was excellent. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. We felt so comfortable, and it’s only a short walk into Grasmere. Loved it

What a gem!

Warm welcome, great location on the edge of Grasmere though close enough to walk to the centre in a few minutes, lovely grounds and views, facilities were fine though the bathroom was a bit tired. Helpful staff and we enjoyed our three course dinner and our breakfast

Peaceful haven in a busy Grasmere

In what is likely to be my last visit to the Lake District (time, distance, and my elderly mother not being able to manage), the Glenthorne came up trumps.  Lovely food, kind staff, nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend this establishment to anyone.

Lovely, peaceful guest house

So tranquil and welcoming, with red squirrels running round on the grass outside the dining room

Very clean and comfortable and a short easy walk into the village.

Dinner and breakfast delicious. Would love to come again.

Great end to day 3 on the coast to coast walk

The bedroom and bathroom were very spacious, but some of the bathroom tiles were cracked and the bathroom was in bad need need of modernisation. The staff were very attentive and the three course meal was very nice too. Breakfast was ample. All in all you did feel like you were in a country residence as the location was very much on the border of Grasmere, but facing the open countryside.

Idea place to stay in Grasmere

A much needed relaxing weekend. This is my second stay at Glenthorne, I stayed in October last year. Even though things are very different this year the quality of the food is still superb and the staff in every area excellent, friendly, and very ready to please. Housekeeping in rooms was not given due to Covid unless you specifically asked then your room was serviced. I came with a friend this time and we both enjoyed it so much we have rebooked for May next year.

A much needed relaxing weekend

We were booked by Packhorse to stay for 2 nights here in August doing the C2C and after a very wet day walking from Seatoller in Storm Francis were disappointed to arrive here. It’s very basic and doesn’t have a welcoming ambience. The lounge looked like something from an old people’s home with Shackleton High chairs and the dining room was made up of plain wooden tables and no atmosphere whatsoever. We were glad we’d booked to eat out. After being woken up at 5am by a mouse in the room eating my rucksack we decided to move accommodation which Packhorse sorted for us no bother at all. Unless you’re a Quaker or like staying at places that are basic, I would avoid.
