“The setting here is quite something, with views that really open up and feel remarkably peaceful. Our room, Thyme, was a generous size, spotlessly clean, and even came with its own little seating area outdoors. It's clear a lot of thought has gone into making the rooms comfortable and well-appointed, right down to the quality of the bedding and showers.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Ukdurham
