An excellent stay at The Glenwood
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Glenwood. A good location, quiet but convenient for the station. A warm welcome and everything I needed including the bonus of a fridge with fresh milk for tea and coffee. An excellent breakfast including fresh fruit as well as a full English. Good value for money.
