10/10 Exceptional

Really loved our 'Stables' apartment. The kitchen/dining room and bedroom had a lovely period atmosphere and the well-appointed ensuite was great. The whole setting of period 'stable' rooms and cabins was so charming, artfully obscuring their recent creation. We really loved the outdoor artesian heated baths.

Ron the manager was excellent. We extended our stay and upgraded to the stables….he organised his team to move all our stuff into the new room and it was ready by 1030. The artesian outdoor bath tubs were a fantastic surprise. Perfectly located….been travelling for 2 weeks and this was best place we stayed.
