We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary with family both old and young! House was absolutely amazing, just perfect for what we needed. Everything was spot on, Roy and Debbie were so helpful prior to our stay answering questions via email and also with a query during our stay.Would definitely like to think we’d return and most definitely would recommend.

Glebe House was difficult to find, possibly due to it being wrongly located on the map. However, once located the outside area and parking was great and the house is very spacious. Also the bedroom details are incorrect in the information provided.The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, clean and well appointed apart from all wall mirrors being way too high for the ladies and the pillows were very disappointing. One bedroom had no soap or toiletries. In the kitchen there was only a squeeze of washing up liquid so we had to buy more, also very little kitchen roll and no handwash which we had to buy.It was lovely having so much space for 12 adults and we all enjoyed the house. Some of the kitchen equipment seemed superfluous and yet only one small bowl for serving. Plenty of crockery, glasses and cutlery although short of teaspoons as always.The main gripe was being told to leave windows closed as the heating calibrated itself, it did not and we were all roasting and had to open windows and doors. The WiFi was disappointing in the sitting room and the router might have been better sited in there rather than the downstairs bedroom.We enjoyed exploring the local area and would all have come back happily once the issues are resolved.
