My only regret was not booking more than one night here. It was a great property with comfortable amenities and so much green space for the kids to run around and play in. They also loved the sheep and cows on the property. The staff was super friendly and helpful too.

We were very pleased with Glenfern Villas. The apartment was very clean and comfortable with a great covered parking area. This came in very handy since it was pouring rain. The staff was excellent and provided advice when our route was closed due to flooding.

Immaculate 2 bedrooms villa, beautiful mountain view and plenty of space for a family of 4. They offered free DVDs, very clean coin operated laundry room. Plenty of coffee, tea selection and generous milk provided. Highly recommend to stay at 5 stars Glenfern villa.
