We've just had another lovely break at Gleneffock, the dogs love it. They zoom round the garden, chasing each other and it's completely safe for them. There's plenty of sheep in the field adjoining the garden but they never even glance at them. The house has everything you need on holiday, for us it is a home from home and we look forward to our next visit in the Autumn/Winter. This time we weren't blessed with the gorgeous weather we've had before, but that was ok because we did absolutely nothing! GlenEffock is the right place to be as active as you want or to sit back and enjoy the view with a dram.

Stayed at Gleneffock for a week with my husband, son daughter in law , daughter and their kids.It was a fabulous week! The weather was good for sitting in the large garden and the kids had lots of fun.It was lambing season so we saw lots of twin lambs being born.The house has everything we need for a long stay. Comfortable and cosy.Perfect for long or short walks and only 30 minute drive to restock on food.Will definitely be back again .Jamie is a perfect host and always ready to help with anything.
