    This was a return visit to The Glen, although off-season this time so the new heating system and Log burner were very welcome!Water always hot. Handy to have a Dishwasher.No big deal about the smelly water!Lovely walks without needing to drive anywhere.Not close to any shops so good to stock up before you arrive.Wifi was fine - good enough to watch videos online and receive emails etc.
