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.

2019 July: Wonderful place, we spent marvellous days in this nice apartment with its high standard of equipment, and enjoyed the beautiful garden and environment. The children had a lot of fun with the table tennis.(Sabine. Germany)
