Very nice big house and lovely inside. Gail was very welcoming, breakfast was a big morning meal, continental and fry up with pancakes and soda bread, toast and orange juice, tea/coffee. This kept me going all day till evening meal time. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay !
If you want a few cobwebs, wallpaper falling off the walls in a few areas and a few water marks on the ceiling., you've got it, It's an old house If you want a very warm welcome in a very beautiful old house with the most beautiful window on the first landing,, lots of original features and amazing furniture this is the place for you. The room was massive and clean with a beautiful fireplace . I can't express enough how homely this big old house is . My husband little girl and I adored Glendona house and Gail was so lovely and welcoming . Thank you so much .
Incredibly accommodating and excellent host! I was welcomed with bells on- and the owner accommodated my grandma into the bungalow beside the house which was even better! Comfortable beds and rooms. This place is exceeding our expectations!!! Highly recommend!! from Vancouver, Canada
Great breakfast, comfortable beds, a welcoming host and interesting plumbing in this older grand house on a working farm. Some will hate it & crave newness (the self catering cottages could meet this requirement) , others will accept it for what it is and enjoy staying in this house.
Stayed here in 2014, it was a very memorable stay with a lovely lady as a host. We arrived late at night but we're still welcomed warmly and the house is just so beautiful and unique !!! I definitely would love to come back.
Great place, staff and views. Our home base while moving house. Beautiful site and great staff.
Castle-like authentic Irish countryside experience with delicious breakfast, ideal cleanliness, quiet bedrooms and hundreds of T.V. channels. 5-star experience!!!
This old House is very characteristic with some gorgeous old features like the bespoke embossed wall panels along the halls. However, it's an old house, so don't expect modern features. The Owner is lovely and breakfast is huge. I'll be back for another visit. This place is well worth a look and will bring back some old time memories.
Set in an Edwardian country house, this traditional bed-and-breakfast is a 13-minute walk from Glenavy village, 4.5 km from Crumlin and 13.2 km from Belfast International Airport.
