We had an amazing time at Glaisters, none of us wanted to leave when it was time to go home. The garden was great for the dogs to run around in, so much space. The kitchen area had everything you need, coffee machine, bread maker, dishwasher, there wasnt anything we looked for and couldnt find. The table was a great place to sit, eat and chat and tRead morehe view was stunning from the window. Plenty of seating in the living room for everyone. Bedrooms were lovely, comfortable beds, nice carpets, hairdryer in every room . Plenty storage for clothes. Bathrooms were spacious and good pressure from the showers. I was worried about it being so far away from everything with teenagers with us, but they loved it as much as us. It was so quiet, peaceful and relaxing, just what the doctor ordered. The Stable was a great addition too, where we could play pool and table football. Overall an amazing place to stay. Would highly recommend Glaisters. Tesco also delivered our shopping on our arrival day, which was good, as I wasnt sure if they would, being out of the main town. Hide

Lovely house which is very well equipped with countryside views. It is a drive to get anywhere so worth pre booking a food delivery although ours didnt turn up but I think that was a Tesco problem. Would have loved a welcome pack - milk etc after a long drive and food delivery no show! but other than that I couldnt fault the place. Lots of beaches,Read more castles and towns in the area. Hide

This is an outstanding property, as good as we have ever experienced over the last ten years. The house was extremely well equipped and clean and lacked for nothing. The games room was a real bonus and we much enjoyed playing pool and table football. Ws also had a lovely evening around a well lit fire pit.

Only mild drawback was that it was three miles long, so we were a little bit away from everything; but the quality of the place made it all very worthwhile. Hide

This accommodation has been very well organised and everything required is readily available in the farmhouse BUT three factors diminish its enjoyment : 1. incredibly hard mattresses on the beds, so unforgiving that I had to use a walking stick to get around for the rest of the holiday [and I don't usually need a stick !]. 2. the seating in the lRead moreiving room is generous but not particularly comfortable suffering the common problem of being too deep from front to back of the seating surface. 3. a perennial problem that we have suffered over the last 30 years : excessively dim lighting in the living area. The assumption seems to be that all guests will spend their evenings watching the TV, playing on an iPad or fiddling with their 'phones. We found the level of lighting so low that it became difficult and unpleasant to try to read a book or newspaper. Such a shame about these important details because we feel the owners have got the place fitted out about 85% right ! Hope all this helps ! With more accommodating mattresses, we would certainly visit again. Hide
