Lovely room. Great couple that supported our stay.
Motoren konden in de garage. Guest house is goed georganiseerd. Prima ontbijt en fijne kamer.

Breakfast was excellent with a good choice, the room was excellent with everything you need for a short or longer stay. The owners were very helpful and friendly.
Nothing.
Loved the location, it was centrally based for our road trip. Loved the breakfast, the food was really well cooked and presented and piping hot. The hosts were really nice.
The room was advertised as a 'cosy double' so we expected it to be quite small. It was very small with far too much furniture, it made it look very cluttered. The room and bathroom were surface cleaned, there was dust and cobwebs in corners on doors and in the bathroom.
Pauline and Bill were exceptional hosts, very friendly and welcoming. The breakfasts were lovely and Bill was so helpful. A very well run guest house.
Friendly hospitable staff, excellent breskfast
Step climb to the property with your bags, if you are not driving. Room a little small and wanted to seperate single beds, space taken by a large bed and a single bed assuming this was for a child.
Lovely and quiet, comfy, clean, delicious breakfast. All absolutely perfect for a weekend away.

Great hosts,great breakfast and a clean comfy room..
We came by train and although the Glenn is only 5 mins from the station for a couple of 70 year olds the short incline to the top of the location was hard to walk...
It’s a really beautiful clean comfortable place. The breakfast was lovely. Pauline Bill and all the family couldn’t have made you more welcome.
The owners were very friendly and the breakfast was lovely. Would definitely stay again
Can't fault anything
Comfortable guest house. A warm welcome. Delicious breakfast. Friendly service. Excellent rooms, clean and well furnished.
Having to come away !!
Lovely owners and a quite spacious room.
异国他乡感受到了人间温情,我的火车晚点了,到酒店已经超过了原定的时间,但是仍然愿意等待我,并且在我有一点感到无助的时候,用很幽默的方式给到我一些安慰。让我非常感激。这里的早餐真的非常棒,傍晚走走非常舒服。另外,我将我的家乡大连,Dalian,pin上了而不是我工作所在的北京。恍惚间真的有在家的舒适与惬意。非常感谢这两天的照顾
Paula & Bill, are excellent host; they go above & beyond to make your stay comfortable. The breakfast is to die for, the chef is most obliging.
Everything was great, no complaints.
We had a wonderful 3 day stay, house is incredible, rooms are so big and clean, breakfast was great and we loved Jasper. Would struggle to get better for the price. Thank you Pauline and Bill for making the Glen so special.
My only comment is it's not the best location for what we wanted to see in the lake district but the house is so wonderful it makes up for it.
Lovely hospitality. Pauline and Bill a lovely couple. Very clean and comfortable. Everything was love . Breakfast 10/10 etc
Nothing we loved it there
Great location. Friendly and thoughtful welcome. Delicious breakfasts. Every detail was helpful and appreciated. Comfortable rooms.
Very friendly owners running a lovely small B&B. Coming from London I had forgotten that most other places are very friendly and welcoming. Delicious breakfast with a great selection of options. Sadly hotel breakfasts always finish too early for us late risers, so we can rarely eat lots in the morning! Very easy to get to from the station and a taxi service was suggested that collect at all times for a reasonable price. Large rooms with a TV and large bath/shower. If we have the same event next year we will be back :)
Very little nearby except the station (and a good farm shop) but we chose this location for the nearby station and then ventured other places!
Lovely rooms and hosts. Breakfast was great. Personal touch
Nothing
Room very clean and spacious, great choice of breakfast which was very nice. They also had the little extras like a small pair of scissors to cut open any of the sauces for breakfast and homemade marmalade.
To be honest I couldn’t fault anything we were happy about the whole thing.
干净、宁静、早餐好吃,老奶奶很用心地经营着酒店,酒店离湖区开车半个小时,路况很好景色很美,酒店旁边就有很好的Trail
房间里配个小冰箱就更完美了
Convenient location , large bed for 2 tall people was great, lovely bedroom and bathroom and very well equipped. Breakfast was amazing too. Hosts were very friendly and professional. Staying there again.

Room was spacious and comfortable. Owners are very friendly which made the stay even better. Kids (and ourselves) loved meeting Jasper the dog. Breakfast was delicious too. Lovely walk up the Helm around the corner and Station pub has great food and beer garden a couple of minutes walk up the road.

Very comfortable. Excellent hosts. Perfect location. Lovely local walks. And a two minute walk to the pub where the meals were lovely. Very welcoming to dogs.
The hosts were lovely,very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was absolutely spotless and breakfast was great with a good variety
Close to the train station, within walking distance. The hosts were very welcoming and the breakfasts were very good. Exceptionally clean. Quiet. Our room was spacious.
There is nothing we did not like, although we prefer not having carpet.
Für dieses Gästehaus haben die Engländer das Wort 'lovely' erfunden! Die Gastgeberin und auch der Koch sind einfach nur liebenswert, freundlich und hilfsbereit! Ein fabelhaftes Frühstück wird individuell frisch zubereitet. Das ganze Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und dekoriert. Es gibt ausreichend kostenfreie Parkplätze direkt am Haus geschützt in einer Art 'Hof'. Das örtliche Pub ist in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß erreichbar und bietet sehr gute Speisen! Das Gästehaus liegt zwar etwas außerhalb aber man ist zu Fuß in 30 Minuten im Zentrum und öffentliche Verkehrsmittel sind gut verfügbar.
Good parking facilities. Friendly hosts who could not do enough for you. Lovely hot breakfast and good choice. Lovely room and comfortable bed

Welcoming hosts, delicious breakfast, comfortable bed, immaculately clean bathroom, cool room
What a wonderful spot! Kind and attentive boats, made sure I had food to eat for breakfast with my dietary restrictions (and it was delicious!) and the room was super comfy and clean. Walking distance to a pub with excellent dinner and The Helm was lovely to walk up for sunset. Overall an absolutely wonderful stay, highly recommend!
N/A, it was a wonderful stay!
Breakfast was delicious. The staff were so kind. The room was super clean and spacious. Set up an anniversary sign for us - a nice touch. Great location if you have a car.
Just didn't have conditioner in the bathroom, so had to buy some. Otherwise perfect.
Really friendly owner's great food and location big bonus was secure parking for my Harley

Slow, closing toilet seat. Hey thats all I could think of!
Nothing. But porridge would be a welcome addition to the breakfast menu.
It was the best bed and breakfast I’ve stayed in very friendly staff good breakfast and lovely pub two hundred yards up the road immaculate bathroom they had thought of everything that we might need even down to a small pair of scissors to cut open the sauce and milk sachets
Nothing
Pauline and Bill were lovely hosts and were very welcoming :) The breakfast was delicious and they understood our needs. Would love to stay again
The Glen is a charming and comfortable place to stay, with an excellent spacious room and bath. The breakfast was wonderful, with many choices, and the dining area was bright and roomy. I loved the convenient parking which was close to the small number of steps to the entry. The host and hostess were warm and friendly and, it turned out, extremely helpful to me. While exploring nearby, I had a tire blowout, and my rental did not include auto club. My hostess contacted her mechanic and through them linked me with a roadside tire service which provided timely and reasonable roadside assistance. Had it not been for her intervention, I would've easily lost a full day and, I suspect, a lot more money. Her assistance, like the accommodations, was way above average.
Nothing!

The location was great and the accommodation was everything that we needed for a few days in the Lake District.
Plenty of choice at breakfast. High quality ingredients used. Nice touches such as home made marmalade and little scissors to open small sachets of sauce. Excellent public transport to places such as Ambleside and Grasmere.

Cosy comfortable room with all amenities en suite, toiletries, hairdryer, drinks etc Nice breakfast
Ich bin rundum zufrieden, es war ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt hier. Ich bräuchte das Frühstück etwas früher als üblich, kein Problem. Es wird auch alles frisch gemacht, einfach super. Die Inhaberin ist wirklich sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Zimmer war sehr gemütlich und es war alles da was man braucht.

Amazing full English breakfast and service exceptional.
We stayed here for 5 nights and honestly it was absolutely superb. Pauline and Bill are great hosts and very friendly. Their breakfasts are lovely and we looked forward to them each morning, especially the scrambled egg and smoked salmon. The room was very clean, spacious and just what we needed. Bathroom felt modern and the views were really nice as well. The guest house is situated only a couple of minutes from the Oxenholme train station so it’s really easy to get to places like Kendal if you don’t fancy driving, plus there’s a pub 30 seconds walk down the road which was nice. If we are ever back towards this area in the future, the Glen will be our first and only stop, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We liked everything here.
The room we stayed in was spacious, comfortable and gave beautiful views of The Helm. The property itself had a rustic and historic charm to it which we revelled in.
Everything was absolutely splendid.
Breakfast, excellent.
Mattress not so comfortable
Excellent
