Stunning house
My sisters and I spent two nights at Glenfern House and it is a simply stunning, luxurious residence. It is magnificently styled, very comfortable, has every convenience and is surrounded by amazing outlooks from every window. We would definitely recommend Glenfern House to others considering it. My only critique is not of the house itself, which lived up to every expectation, but that the advertised price of the stay is somewhat deceptive. It is advertised as 4 bedrooms - sleeps 8, but AFTER I booked for 4 people I was advised that the price only covers 2 bedrooms and there was a fairly substantial additional cost if we wanted access to 4 bedrooms. It was still worth the extra cost, with each lovely bedroom having its own bathroom, but I feel this additional charge should be in the advertising and not in the ‘fine print’. Otherwise it was the perfect setting for our weekend. Thank you.
