Information about the host

Glenthorne was built by the owner of The Merthyr Brewery in 1889. It was sold to the catholic church in the early 1970's and became St Josephs Convent for the Sisters of Annecy, it remained a convent until 2012 when it was purchased by Claire Harris. Since its purchase the owner has worked hard to renovate it and return it to its former glory.
