A really well equipped, cosy apartment. We were so pleased to find tea, coffee, milk and even some fudge on arrival. A lovely little park on the doorstep and the sight of a steam train going past the window was brilliant. Great hosts, would definitely return.

We stay here time and time again without issues. This time was a little different with a 20 week old baby in tow but Ann and Alan went above and beyond by setting up a travel cot and highchair for her use. The welcome gift is always appreciated. Thanks for another wonderful stay.

Platform one is a beautiful apartment with everything you need for a home from home. We adored being able to sit and watch the steam trains as they passed by, waving to the passengers.So nice to have a dedicated parking space especially as we were able to relax and travel everywhere walking, by train or by bus making this a real break without the worry of using the car.Anne and Alan (the owners) were lovely too and on hand if we needed anything We would highly recommend!
