I stayed at Glanleam House with three friends and we all enjoyed our stay tremendously. The standards were very high, the surroundings beautiful and the owners were helpful and friendly. Our rooms were comfortable and luxurious with spectacular views over the bay to mountains on the mainland. The exceptional and historical gardens are fascinating and their ongoing restoration is the... more

Having just returned from Glanleam house, we were delighted to return to our own bed and the comforts of home. Given the expensive rates charged in this house, I cannot dissuade potential visitors strongly enough not to stay here. We were greeted by an interrogation as to why we were so late arriving. The room we stayed in had a... more

Gardens and House are beautiful. Nice walk to the seaside and light tower. But the two household women are very unfriendly and finally aggressive to children. It is an expensive place to stay. The only lovely creature is the dog that was walking with us. Not recommended. more

While the grounds of Glanleam House were beautiful, the unfortunate part of our visit was the owner was very unfriendly, unwelcoming and very abrupt. Constantly felt we were in the way. Would not recommend a visit to Glanleam House on Valentia Island. more
