The first very good impression was while exchanging emails to book our accomodation. Although we caused quite a mess-up Denise and John stayed nice and understanding. Our rooms were very clean and superb equipped. John's breakfasts were our talk of the day: we actually spent our days thinking about the following day breakfast! Our hosts were of great help with... more

On business and this guest house was a top find. The service, hot breakfast and excellent standards of cleanliness were all top drawer. However, the showers were show stoppers...so many hotels' showers are miserable dribbles...here you get a really good skoosh...and if you had been out on the hills all day ...this simple factor would make your stay memorable...so why... more

First of all we appreciate your kind comments about our home, thank you. We get many remarks regarding our showers and the strength of them, we feel it is important that people can feel refreshed after a long day. Cleanliness is also an important factor as you mentioned. On the Wi-Fi front we are currently in the final stages of...

I had a very pleasant and relaxing stay at the Glenernan. The proprietors offer a good range of cold and cooked breakfast choices. The room was to my likings, with a good bed and the necessary equipment to make my break pleasant.

Having never stayed in a B & B before, my partner & I never knew what to expect. We were very pleasantly surprised at this spacious & clean guesthouse. Since staying there last September we've returned there twice. Rooms are of a decent size & the ensuite power shower was brilliant. There is one very small double room, but still... more
