Comfy clean hotel
Pros:

Lovely Comfy bed, very clean , friendly staff and good grub , the breakfast was lovely.
Price was reasonable in this day and age of extortionate hotel rates .

Cons:

My room 105 was too close to the seating area in reception, I could hear the talking from there which woke me up at 2.30am , I’d ask for a room away from reception meet time

Well done all at Glenside in difficult circumstances!
Pros:

This property burned down and within 1 hour they called us with rearranged rooms in the area. Seriously good service in fairness and they are to be commended and supported once they open back up. Well done all related, you did not let your clients down! 🙂👍
