This property was absolutely incredible and exceeded all our expectations. The house is spacious and the entire property offers so much activities. There was plenty of room for a large group. Matt was a 10/10 host and I’ll be recommending to everyone.

Great stay

From the moment we entered to the moment we drove out of the property looked after by John & Jen, it was heavenly feeling. If you have a big family or group this place will still calm you down in a big group. We would highly recommend staying at Sylvan Glen.

Absolutely brilliant!

I booked Sylvan Glen for my husband's surprise 40th birthday weekend away with a group of friends and a handful of toddlers. It was absolutely perfect. The owner, Matt, and everyone else who works at Sylvan Glen could not have been more accommodating or welcoming. The weekend was a roaring success. The venue is stunning, with plenty of space for plenty of people. The men loved the golf course in the daytime, we all enjoyed the delicious catering, and everyone was happy as they all had their own bathroom - a real treat when going away with a group. I resisted writing a review as we'd love to go back every year, and want to make sure we can get in, but in fairness to Matt I have to shout their praises in public. 2 of our friends who were with us for the weekend are keen to go back and get married there. The venue is perfect. Enjoy!
