Frommer's Review

Built in 1690 as a rectory, Glebe House is now a gracious guesthouse. The charming rooms, each comfortable and individually decorated, have views of the rose and herb gardens that wreath the house. The spacious dining room provides a lovely setting for candlelit five-course dinners partly drawn from the house's garden. Dinners cost €35 ($45); book before noon and bring your own wine. The enticing breakfast menu includes waffles, scrambled eggs with rosemary shortbread, and "cheesy French toast" (a Glebe House invention).

The Coach House apartments behind the main house offer comfortable self-catering accommodations. The ground floor, two-bedroom garden apartment sleeps five in two rooms. The ideal choice for families is the one-bedroom loft apartment that sleeps five, with a double and single bed in one room and a pullout sofa in the living room. Both apartments have linens, and each has a private patio-garden. A chalet in the garden, Beech Lodge, is available for up to six guests.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
