We had an amazing week at Glebe Hall and couldn't have asked for a better stay. From the moment we arrived until the minute we left, we felt genuinely welcomed. The house was spotless, beautifully and stylishly decorated, spacious, and exactly as described online—if anything, even better. The local tips we received made our Cornwall trip truly special. Thank you for your incredible hospitality and kindness. We wholeheartedly recommend Glebe Hall to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay in Cornwall!

Verity is a tremendous host and this is such a gorgeous property. The grounds of Glebe Hall are lovely and if we'd had better weather, we would have constantly been in the outdoor pool! It's a good spot for traveling to different locations and lovely and quiet at night.

It was such a delight to have Kerrie, Paddy and Freddie return and this time with baby Luna! They are the ideal guests: warm, friendly and great company. Freddie and Luna have instant playmates here and endless hours spent playing in and out of the pool. They are a joy to have as guests and are always welcome. Please come again and stay!

An absolute gem of a find - I am recommending to all my friends! The accommodation was gorgeous: I enjoyed cosying up of an evening with a book in my favourite armchair in the mezzanine room. The beds were super comfy and we all slept very well. The private pool and games room were the absolute silver lining for us all. My 11 and 13 year old were in heaven. An extra bonus was being able to use the games room for DVD nights Verity is such a lovely, warm, friendly host and instantly made us feel at home.We enjoyed the local area with plenty of walks along coastal paths, beach days at Poldhu and Kynance, sampling the pasties up the road and enjoying coffee at local cafes. Even managed to get out on the paddleboard and for a horseride 10/10

Wonderful summer holidays in Cornwall

Glebe Hall is a beautiful, typically English property with a wonderful garden and pool. The rooms look exactly as shown on the photos.We received a very warm welcome and our landlady gave us lots of tips. Our daughter had great fun playing with her children. We really enjoyed our stay.

It was great to have Barbara and her family to stay. They were very warm and friendly and loved exploring the area and walking the coastal footpaths. They're two lovely daughters were great fun and enjoyed playing here, in and out of the pool. Please come and stay again!

Lovely warm welcome from Verity and her family and they gave superb tips for beaches, restaurants and activities to enhance our stay.The cottage had everything we needed, it is well equipped, the beds were really comfortable and the courtyard garden is really pretty, perfect for a cuppa with a book.We all loved the pool and were blessed with the weather to enjoy it, we especially enjoyed being able to put records on and listen to music whilst we swam!My boys also loved playing table tennis, table football and building a giant train track all round the games room!The surrounding area is absolutely stunning with countless incredible beach’s just a short drive away, we visited Poldhu, Gunwalloe, Kynance Cove and Cadgwith. Enjoyed body boarding, paddle boarding, sandcastle building and rock pooling.We also had a lovely evening crabbing at Porthleven and a sunset walk at Lizard Point.Thank you for sharing your piece of Cornish heaven with us, we highly recommend a stay in the cottage at Glebe Hall.Jan and the boys.
