The centre is run by a great team of experienced friendly staff and the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxed. Lovely food and simole clean... More

Along with my wife and two children aged 12 and 8 we booked an activity day of Ghyll scrambling, archery and orienteering. David the owner was very helpful during the booking process and provided enough information for me to go ahead and book with the company. On the day we arrived at around 9.15am to be met by Tom, an... More

I stayed here as part of a 3 night photography workshop in the Lakes. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The breakfasts and evening meals were excellent. The place is fairly basic but is a defintie step up from youth hostel accommodation. There are no ensuite rooms (although there will be in next year) but plentiful showers, toilets and baths....

Thank you so much for your kind words, Marj. The management and staff do appreciate it. We enjoyed your group visit too. Yes, 'watch this space' with regard to the upgrading of bed rooms and creation of en-suite. Thanks for the room tip as well. We look forward to seeing you back at Glaramara as we think this is a...

We arrived at 9.00 am to Bacon Butties and coffee, then we were transported to Honister for Via Ferrata (recommended). Back for lunch and then a pleasant afternoon of archery. There were 6 off us in the party and it all ran like clockwork. Thanks for an excellent day.

Stayed at Glaramara for 2 days with our running club; to socialise and ry out some of the outdoor activities available from this centre. House set in stunning location with fab views of surrounding hills, and staff friendly on arrival. Very disorganised with "room management" - our group was 2 rooms short; so 2 people who had booked a single... More

Thanks Huddies for taking the time to post your review. Also, thanks for the kind comments which are much appreciated by management and staff. Apologies for the difficulties with room allocation and subsequent 'sharing'. As you are aware, Glaramara primarily functions as a group provider (although certainly not exclusively) so room allocation can prove a challenge with numbers changing right... More

Stayed here for a few days, dinner was excellent and good value, surrounding area lovely, staff very helpful, accommodation fairly basic but I think the price reflects that, bar available too .

Sorry for the delay in responding but thank you for your kind words. It is good of you to make the effort. We always take on board what is said. We will be upgrading facilities over the next couple of winters so, hopefully, you will notice a difference on your next visit. Best Wishes. More

The Glaramara outdoor centre is uniquely placed with fine views of mountain scenery from the front door and lounge window. It may be unfair to pigeon hole this establishment as a cross between hotel and youth hostel although an outdoor centre is always going to be somewhere in between. The current owners have started on a huge task of upgrading... More

We have many happy memories of Glaramara, awesome staff, great facilities and very welcoming. David the owner is passionate about making this place better and the last 12 months have seen massive improvements. What makes this place special is the great location and very high standard of food. Would seriously recommend this place
