    I cannot think of anything that could have been better.

    Friendly owners who provided a delicious breakfast. Our bedroom was very comfortable with lots of thoughtful extras.

    Our stay at The Glen Guest House was very memorable for all the right reasons: our hosts were very friendly - nothing was too much trouble. It was an ideal location, the breakfasts were excellent and the rooms very clean. We would not hesitate to stay again.

    Pauline and Bill's guest house is wonderful! Our room was quiet and clean and overlooking a serene little bit of forest. The room was a spacious suite which had a comfortable sofa separate to the bed. Breakfast was warmly cooked for us by Pauline and it was delicious, with fine local pork. We highly recommend this charming little guest house!

    Absolutely brilliant hotel and owners. Food was amazing. Beautiful room and dining room. Close to the railway station, plenty of parking. Close to the pub for evening food. Wonderful stay we would recommend the hotel to anyone and would visit again ourselves. Thank you Pauline and Bill for your hospitality. Many thanks David and Amanda

    Spacious room, well decorated, very comfortable bed. Hosts have their system for everything - little sheets to fill out if you want more tea or coffee left in your room, prebooking breakfast etc... so it makes everything run smoothly. Bath and hot water were glorious after a long days hiking. Even a fridge in the dining room for walkers to put their lunch in for the next day - very useful. Pub is 2 mins walk up the road and service excellent food. Lots of parking.

    Room is big enough for one, but with two people you could easily get in each others way.

    Very friendly and accommodating hosts, excellent breakfast. Room has everything you need. Big towels in the bathroom. Short walk from a nice pub that has good food. The area is beautiful, whether you go exploring the Lakes or the Dales. It’s a good base for both.
