Set in 50 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and paddocks, Glendine Country House is a handsome Georgian mansion which still retains many of its original 1830 features. Antique pieces and warm colours help to create an old world charm and the owners, Ann and Tom Crosbie, make sure that their guests can relax in the friendly and informal atmosphere.

Arriving guests are welcomed with tea or coffee and can settle down by the period fireplace, savouring the fine view through the bay windows of the harbour and of peaceful fields where their Jacob sheep, deer or Highland cattle graze.

Good food is taken seriously at Glendine. Ann and her staff pride themselves in offering hearty and wholesome breakfasts which will set you up for the day. Help yourself to a range of fresh fruits, cereals, porridge, yoghurts, juices, etc. followed by a choice of chef Mary's freshly cooked breakfasts, homemade Guinness bread, preserves, tea or coffee.

The charmingly decorated en-suite bedrooms are spacious and equipped with TV, hairdryer and clock radio, and appealing extras such as the fresh white cotton sheets on Victorian beds. Since the house occupies a superb position overlooking the Barrow Estuary, most of the guest rooms enjoy breathtaking views.

If you prefer self-catering, Glendine offers a choice of four-star holiday cottages. Set in a courtyard and commanding a coastal view, old stone buildings dating from 1830 have been converted to cosy country cottages. Facilities in all cottages include an open plan living/kitchen/dining area; cooker, washing machine, microwave, fridge & dishwasher; TV; electric heating and a log-burning stove. Each cottage has two en suite bedrooms which can comfortably sleep five guests, and each has a garden with a barbeque area on the patio.
