    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!
