What guests are saying

Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Host was very pleasant and approachable. There are a few details we feel should be added to listing. There are a lot of stairs as the property is split over four floors not three as is stated in the listing. The property is not the entire house but an extension on the side. The garden is shared with two other properties. Cot and dining room table were broken. Table was held together with gaffer tape. The wifi is patchy and can't be relied on.

Thank you for your feedback which we always appreciate as this enables us to prepare for our next guest. As I mentioned on earlier feedback, we would hope all our guests inform us either during their stay or on departure if they come across any issues as these can normally be a quick fix, the cot & dining table for an example. We were saddened to read of these breakages when you arrived at our house, however we’ve since replaced & repaired, thank you for bringing these to attention. Smaller villages in North Northumberland have not had the privilege of Fibre Optic Broadband until recently, we are now lucky to be able to access not just one but at least three big names in providers. We have always been very honest on how we believe the property is not suitable for guests with mobility issues due the number of floors and stairs to access, along with stating it does adjoin our home. On reading your feedback we have made a tweak on the garden being 'shared’. Our guests when booking with a few generations enjoy the privacy of two properties but can come together in the outside shared space. We hope to welcome you back in the future.

Very small kitchen for the number of people.

Where were the fridge shelves? Dining room table held together with duck tape. Shower and loo cramped. Not even a tea bag to welcome us. Few mugs - always a good idea to have double the number of mugs for the number of occupants. We live in an even older house and know the problems of alterations, but divided in a different way it would have made a more comfortable residence for both families. It might be helpful to indicate on the photo just how much of the house is included in the let. Few people would elect to go up and down quite so many stairs. Not recommended for those with elderly/infirm relatives or those with very young children.

We appreciate your feedback, thank you for bringing us to the attention of not enough crockery, we have taken this on board and purchased more. The shelves for fridge are in the bottom half of ‘Fridge Freezer’ to move around for your requirements. The omission of tea/coffee etc. was an oversight on our part, had we had known whilst you were in residence, I’d have happily delivered to you. Previous guests had not alerted us to the dining table, this has since been repaired. Glebe House describes as being ‘adjoined’ to the owner's house along with declaring not suitable for guests who have mobility issues or elderly should they struggle with stairs.

Lovely old house looking across to the castle - perfect for a family holiday.
