Acorn House, hotel in Borrowdale Valley

Owned and run by the Edwards family for almost 20 years Acorn House provides the perfect “home from home” experience when visiting the beautiful town of Keswick.

I had requested if I could use the accommodations car park to park up while I went for my trek. This was not only agreed to, but when I arrived at 10.30am the owner came out to greet me and to tell me my room was also ready. A lovely bonus.

Clare and Craig were incredibly warm and welcoming, with a thorough knowledge of the surrounding area. The location offers the perfect balance—secluded enough to avoid the light pollution from the bustling town, yet close enough for easy access to it.

    Beautiful hotel in a great location. Rooms are super comfortable. WiFi is great (no signal there at all). Stunning scenery. Dinner was great - it’s a fixed menu but was lovely and great value (£35 per head for 3 courses).

    We loved Glaramara. The staff were professional, proactive, self-starters and charming with it. Rooms were cosy, modern and well appointed for plugs/USBS and lighting etc. Food was great and most of all the fresh vegetables in good quantities a rare treat. The owner is clearly very hands on keeping check and running the hotel with energy and passion

    Great location, 1 mile from Scafell pike so can walk there. Food was very good. Room was clean, tidy and modern. Nice log burner with sofas to relax on, looking out onto the hills, after a long day hiking. Would stop here again definitely. Thanks

    This small hotel is comfortable, warm and friendly. The relaxed vibe is supported by the quiet efficiency of the owner and staff. Everything we needed was catered for. The breakfasts were delicious. We couldn’t stay for evening meals this visit but the other visitors were very complimentary. Will definitely return.

    Nigel the manager was a great host and the food was excellent with great company during the communal dining. I especially liked the evenings when there was a very social atmosphere.
