Of all the places we stayed in the Lakes on our coast to coast trip this had a more upmarket hotel feel with a fantastic restaurant. It was nice to feel treated and we were meeting an old friend so a great evening was had. Only issue is that I would have upgraded to a double room as the single room and bed were a little small.

A touch of luxury in the lakes

After driving round Derwentwater looking at the main attractions we came to this welcoming hotel and decided to have light lunch. Nothing was too much trouble and we sat down on comfy chairs with a fantastic view. We had a combination of tasty thick fresh ham and cheese sandwiches with salad and crunchy chips plus a pot of tea and decaf coffee.
The staff were very accommodating and friendly.

Lunch with a view

This review is aimed at people not intended to stay but simply use the open far and food menu advertised as you approach the premise.

There was a small group of us staying at a local campsite and saw the sign for open bar and food.

As soon as we entered the vibe changed. 

The first night the bar man actually removed all the bar snacks when we entered and despite asking about food was told it was for guests only.

The second and final night we visited again we were told food is only for residents, the sign approaching the premises states there’s food and drinks available for non guests.

In particular a gent called Martin clearly took some kind of offence to us being present and actively avoided engaging in conversation and made a conscious effort to inform us we were in the way and there were certain areas we were no longer allowed to access.

The building itself is fantastic and the service whilst, definitely begrudging, it was good, the prices were reasonable and had it not been the fact I’d been made to feel so unwelcome, I would have looked to book to stay here with family.

Nice, but ensure you’re a guest and not just wanting food and drinks….

Wow, what an experience this place is awesome. Hospitality is warm and welcoming nothing is to much trouble, food is out of this world excellent, rooms are wonderful. Really really excellent experience. Please have a group hug for making our group so welcome🥂

Absolutely excellent!!

Absolutely wonderful stay at Glaramara this weekend with family and family friends. Fantastic accommodation in a stunning location. Staff were so friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. Homely family feel to the place. Beautiful decor, loved the lounge area with mountain views and log fire. Thoughtful touches, e.g. home-made chocolates, greeting from the owner. Spacious modern bedroom, the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in!! Delicious breakfast and dinner, excellent value for money. Drying room great. Everything was to a high standard and will definitely be returning. Thank you!

Home from home, cosy retreat!

We stayed at Glaramara Hotel with our pet dog. 
Everything was perfect, very friendly staff, comfortable rooms and great food. The view from the bedroom was stunning. 
Without a doubt we would go back there again.
Thank you for great hospitality! 

Perfect stay at Glaramara

Set amidst beautiful surroundings, this hotel was the only decent-looking place that had a room free as I was rather late booking, but it turned out to be a good - though not great - choice for the second half of my Lake District, even if it was more costly than I'd planned. The room was nice and relaxing with a great view, but the bathroom was oddly designed - the shower is right in front of the toilet and so close that you almost bump your head on the glass as you go to sit down. Breakfast and dinner were both excellent, along with the service, but having 7.30 be the only time you could go to dinner was a bit odd and rather limiting. Overall still definitely worth a stay in order to explore the area, despite certain flaws.

generally worth staying at

First time visit to The Glaramara Hotel and I will certainly be returning! The hotel is spotlessly clean and modern and the rooms very comfortable. Super shower!! Wood burning stoves in the bar and lounges gave a welcoming feel on a very rainy, windy couple of days.
Dinner is served at one sitting at 1930 and you order your meal in advance. I was a bit uncertain about this as haven't encountered it elsewhere, but I must say it worked really well. The service was smooth and timely and the food delicious with a very good selection of starters, mains and desserts. Lovely staff!
Breakfast was entirely self service, and very good, plenty of choice.
Most of all, I thought this hotel was exceptionally good value for money!!

Excellent value!!

Lovely place. Quite unexpected as we booked our trip with Great Escapes and we were very grateful for this gem. Clean, warm, nice ambiance and helpful staff. Loved our room and all the public areas. Very quiet. It has a drying room  / and we were sopping wet when we arrived. Very nice restaurant and the food was great. My only down side of the whole stay was that the menu, £30 each was set and we had hoped to eat a little less and less expensively than we did. But never mind - it was lovely!!

A real gem - all that is best from an independent business. We hope to come again

Absolutely LOVED this place -- it was hands-down my favorite stop on the Coast-to-Coast. Maybe it doesn't have the rural charm of an old farmhouse, but it's thoughtfully designed and spotlessly clean, has large rooms with comfortable beds, sits on a lovely piece of property in a beautiful valley, and boasts shockingly good food (at equally shockingly reasonable prices) for a somewhat out-of-the-way location. It also had some useful amenities like a drying room (helpful after a wet few hours at the end of our hike). Staff was friendly and helpful. I was really delighted to be there and would gladly return if I were in the area again.
