On the day we were due to travel to The Glen my wife was sick. I spoke to Pauline who did what she could and in the end let us change the dates of our stay for no charge. When we did get there we were in the family room which was a great size for the 3 of us. Nice and spacious and all very clean. Pauline and Bill couldn't do enough to help to ensure a good stay. And the breakfast was fantastic each morning. Would certainly stay again.

I've never stayed anywhere so nice! This BnB is very accommodating, the breakfast was delicious with lots of choice. Lots of little touches went a long way, like a bag of blankets and fresh water. Covid measures were taken really well and the cleanliness standard was so high, it felt like I was the first person to ever stay in my room. Bill and Pauline (owners) are so friendly and welcoming. I'm really looking forward to staying here again in the future!

We have stayed numerous times and it always delivers. The breakfast is always excellent and the owners can't do enough for you. Room 2 we stayed in this time was very spacious and immaculate. We will be back again. Thank you. Stephen and dolly

Spotless room, fab breakfast. Attention to detail was fab. Pauline and Bill were most welcoming. Nothing too much to ask. Will definitely be back again.
