Stayed here on a business trip. The room was small, but big enough. It had a TV, it was very old, and tiny! The decor in the room was very tired and dated, and could do with a bit of livening up. The shower was great, nice soft towels. The bed wasn't too comfy, but that's very often personal preference... More

First, the room we stayed in had seen better days and could have done with redecoration. However this was not an overriding factor for this reviewer. The hotel was a genuinely nice place to stay with friendly hosts and excellent staff. The food was reasonably priced (evenng meals) and excellent. The morning breakfast was of an equally high standard. As... More

I don't want to slate this hotel because I have nothing to compare it to in the area however as soon as I walked in I wanted to leave. Its quite dated. Our room was an attic room the velux window creaked and the bathroom was uncomfortable to use due to the bath being under a slanting roof. The other... More

Stayed at the Glen Garth Hotel for 3 nights July 12. Negative Points: Rooms somewhat dated, room 6 had no shower but an old fashioned rubber tap connection that had to be fitted over the taps but as there was no shower screen or curtain you had to sit in the bath. The room furnishings could do with updating as... More

I stay regularly at the Glen Garth, both on business and pleasure. There is a great friendly atmosphere from all the staff and Peter and Janet always make you welcome. The food is of an exteremly high standard and always well presented with a very good selection of vegetables of the day and if you don't fancy what's on the... More

Top of Tripadvisor so I guess I was expecting too much. Stayed for one night whilst visiting friends. Its a nice hotel, probably more of a bed and breakfast in all honesty and its a bit old fashioned in place. If you like kind of old fashioned Laura Ashley you'll love it here, flowers and swirls. The place is set... More

Stayed for one night in a single room prior to a business meeting in Barrow. The room was fairly small with a comfortable bed and the room was quiet and warm on a very cold night. The staff are very friendly and the food was excellent and good value, as was the breakfast. All in all, a refreshing change from... More

Stayed for 2 nights on business recently. For £70 a night I expected a lot more. Location is good on the main abbey road drag into town but far enough out - a mile or so - so that it's quiet enough. Single room was very single, thin walls which meant I could hear the people in rooms either side.... More

Glen Garth was an absolute 'haven' to me, as I found myself in Barrow needing accommodation in an emergency situation. The management and staff combined a totally professional service with friendly care and support for me personally. The food was excellent, varied and beautifully presented. The public rooms are tastefully decorated and furnished providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The... More
