Little Glenbarr play village
New for families

A calmer kind of play.

Little Glenbarr is our beautifully crafted roleplay village for little imaginations. Children can pop on a uniform, become a Glenbarr village employee for the day, explore the mud kitchen, shop, café, vets and garden areas, while grown-ups enjoy a slower visit nearby.

Recommended for ages 2–7. Children aged 0–2 are welcome with constant supervision. Sessions are limited to 6 children, so it feels calm, safe and unhurried.

“People walk in for coffee — then realise there’s a whole world to explore.”
That is the Glenbarr difference
Stay longer

Boutique rooms in a peaceful rural setting.

The House is designed for travellers, families, walkers, workers and visitors who want to slow down and stay a little longer. Expect comfortable rooms, thoughtful local touches, quality bedding and easy access to the café, shop and garden centre.
