Sir Robert Best, a well known Barrister, purchased the blocks 132-134 Nicholson Street in the late 1800s, and the original home was built on the first of these blocks in 1881. At this time it was named Langridge House, which was his wife’s family name, and included the stables and coachman’s residence at the rear of the building which are still in existence to this day.

Mary Glowrey House has undergone extensive renovation and extensions, and offers comfortable modern accommodation and facilities blended with the elegance of the Victorian era.

In the very ‘heart’ of Mary Glowrey House is a Chapel in which guests have the opportunity to encounter the Blessed Sacrament.
