    The Glebe House is fantastic. The location gives good access to Longford county. The property itself is beautifully furnished, spacious and warm. Finally Linda is a gracious host who offered us great insight on activities in the area.

    Lovely rural setting with pedigree horses in the field outside my bedroom window. Outstanding breakfast, with a particularly generous portion of fruit, including raspberries from their own garden and apple juice from their own orchard.
