A lovely house, nicely furnished, very clean and comfortable.

Nice garden at the rear. I contacted the owner a couple of times - very helpful and friendly. A great location for family holidays, with Bantham and Bigbury beaches both quite close. The small community shop in the village was useful (as was the mobile chippy on Thursday night!), with bigger shops in Kingsbridge.

From easy parking to superb showers, the accommodation was faultless.

It was a very attractive and comfortable house to stay in. The instruction folder was very useful (it was so good to find a cooker that was easy to use!), and when we did come unstuck (eg the key safe) Nigel was instantly in touch to talk us through it. The house is in a quiet cul-de-sac in a pretty village. There are numerous attractions in the area.

Glebe House was perfect for us (family of 8 ranging from 68 to 4 years).

It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Good location for exploring and would definitely book again .
