Glossom's Lodge is a quiet location on a horse farm.
Glossom's Lodge is a quiet location on a horse farm. The accommodation has all you could require. The kitchen especially being one of the best equipped we have been in. The owners are very helpful and friendly. There are pubs and restaurants all within a short drive away. All in all it's a very pleasant place to stay.
It was a very spacious property with nice furniture and facilities.
The owners were nice to talk to and explained all the points of usage
With our own gate fob we were able to come and go how we wanted
We expect to return
The Lodge is a well proportioned accommodation and has all the facilities you require. The owners are extremely pleasant and helpful. The Lodge is ideal for dog owners. Being a distance from the road it is a peaceful place and there are great views all round the property. For anyone with mobility issues it is all on ground level. All in all a great place to stay. We would happily return.
