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!
