Only stayed over night, room was very pretty, loved the special little touches, chandelier is fab! Everything spotlessly clean in room. Atmosphere warm and cosy. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Beatiful accomodation, warm, friendly and welcoming host
Claire is a very warm and welcoming host. My room was stylish, comfortable and very clean. Little extras including complementary home made welsh cakes and a little fridge make this your stay extremely enjoyable. I would highly recommend a stay.

Immaculate studio and the host was very accommodating and helpful throughout our stay.
Very enjoyable stay, as the accommodation was immaculate and the host Claire was very helpful at all times. A lot of thought had been put into catering for the needs of the customer. Everything that you might need during your stay was supplied in the studio.

A hidden gem !
An overnight stay, the Glenthorne proved ideal in it's location for my needs. I received a very warm welcome and all necessary information ( reference room, building, keys etc ) was relayed in a simple and efficient manner.
The Glenthorne is a worthy alternative to the mainstream hotels and at a competitive price.
I will certainly make this my first choice when staying in the area. The large bed was very comfortable and the location is in a quiet area giving a good night's sleep. Faultless.
