Lovely, spacious, modern and well-equipped apartment. Great bed and bedroom. Great having the perks of an apartment and the feeling of safety and the ability to leave our things before and after check-in with a 24/7 reception.

What a little gem! We were tired after a long drive and the huge amount of space in our room, along with the lovely bath, meant we were very able to relax and unwind. Breakfast was superb, with lovely local choices, served by friendly staff, and we only wished we'd had more time to enjoy meeting the farm animals. Our quick visit to see the Clydesdales, accompanied by the dogs, was delightful though!
