“Excellent accommodation, location & host. Let down by lack of privacy.”
We travelled to Jasper on our honeymoon and booked the Loft Room at the Glasshouse after reading many excellent reviews. Having stayed there, we can see why people would love it - the location is perfect (a short walk to the main street), the accommodation was clean & spacious, and Tobi was welcoming & helpful. What let the Glasshouse down for us was the lack of privacy. The Loft Room is actually the Mezzanine floor, and is located at the top of the stairs off the main entrance to the house. There is no private entrance or doorway to the floor, so anybody looking up the stairs (or walking up!) could quite easily see or hear you. The bath was located next to the bed on the open-plan floor, so we didn't feel comfortable enough to use it. We felt that anything we said or any noise we made would be heard by the rest of the house.
However, this is not a reflection on Tobi at all - she could not have done more to make us feel at ease, it was simply the lack of walls and doors that put us off. (Please see picture). If you are a single traveller or with friends, this might be just what you are looking for, but as a romantic getaway we would not recommend the Loft Suite.
