Decorated and furnished to a great standard with everything you need for time away. Beds comfy helping a perfect night sleep. The outside space is perfect to let our dog out to wander in safety without us worrying he will get out. There is nothing i would change or request extra because everything has been thought of. Thank you.

Inside everything is provided for a comfortable stay. The outside has everything we needed too. Plenty of parking on the gated drive, a accessible shed with two chairs so you can sit under the overhang and get the last of the afternoon sun, a raised area at the back with table and chairs and views over farmland. Grassy area for dogs and outside sink and hose. It's about a 1.5km to the village of Ae with it's great little cafe and miles of tracks to walk. The owners are lovely, very helpful and friendly. If I could give Glebe Cottage 20 stars I would.

The property was of a high standard & extremely well maintained, clean & comfortable. We used the Sat nav & had no problems in finding it. The dark skies with no light pollution were amazing (would take a telescope if available) The little extras were much appreciated thank you for a special birthday stay.
