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.
