Had a wonderful stay at Merlindale while visiting family in Drumelzier. Denise was very accommodating and made stay perfect' The complimentary breakfast supplies were appreciated. Spent most nights curled up on the super comfy couches with a roaring fire whilst our older kids played pingpong. Look forward to returning soon.
