The service and experience is what we expected for the price. Very comfortable beds! The team fitted us in for the day spa at very short notice which was very much appreciated and the pool was lovely. Thanks so much for having us.
Every thing about the accomodation was great in our opinion. Clean, plenty of utensils etc in the kitchen, ample breakfast each day, comfortable beds. The location is handy to town. Bonus having an indoor swimming pool.

Brackenridge was good overall. Underfloor heating and privacy is really good. Door lock is unusual but functional. It should lock behind you without having to put the code in again. Things to improve on are; the curtains needed to be wider to block out light and the ironing board was not really suitable for anything. So if you are having a wedding and staying there take your own board.

A quiet retreat just outside the town - easily accessible to everything Martinburough offers including the excellent wineries in the region. Accommodations were lovely and very comfortable. Enjoyed the breakfast options left in the room. The fitness area was great also - well equipped and clean. We really enjoyed our stay.

A cottage of one's own. A fire to light in winter evenings. Excellent breakfast supplies provided. Couches could be a bit more comfortable but we love visiting here in summer and winter. Spa treatments also amazing.
