Light and elegant, every room at West View has a sleek, modern bathroom with luxury toiletries from The Soap Company and fresh, white towels. Rooms also provide a flat-screen TV, and a hairdryer. Some rooms enjoy fantastic fell views.

The overall facilities at the bed and breakfast were amazing. Rooms were a decent size for a couple with a wardrobe and en suite bathroom. As well as a chair, double bed and room for cases. I do think this would be a struggle for more than 2 people (I do believe there is different sized rooms available if required) The hosts Heather and Craig were brilliant and assisted us with ANY needs we had including recommendations, help with taxi services (we were attending a wedding nearby) as well as supplying any essentials we had forgot to pack for our stay. The property was IMMACULATE! So clean and not a speck of dust or dirt in sight.

    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.

    Awesome location if you're walking scafell pike - beautiful views of the mountains and right, you can walk straight up the valley. Breakfast was fantastic, all staff were lovely, room was comfortable and quiet, meal on an evening was absolutely fantastic. Good selection of reasonably priced beer and enough space inside and outside to chill out on an evening. All in all - this was an awesome stay if you're looking for a comfy hotel to return to after a day out in the mountains, highly recommend!
