LOVELY PLACE, VERY BRIGHT & CLEAN WITH WELL STOCKED KITCHEN CUPBOARDS AND VERY COMFY CHAIRS IN THE LOUNGE AREA. BATHROOMS ARE SPACIOUS AND BEDS COMFORTABLE.
Fantastisch. Heerlijk rustig en weg van drukte. Uitstekende bedden. Prima woongedeelte en keuken. Pannen hadden beter gekund.

At Saxon Maybank we pride ourselves on offering a high-quality customer experience for our guests to create a memorable and comfortable stay in the peaceful countryside, ideal for anyone looking to get away from the stresses of everyday life.
