1 on Ross is newly renovated to bring upmarket yet also comfortable and relaxed accommodation, with a home away from home feel, for guests. We are set up to cater for guests wanting to spend some special time with their children outside of their school/university environment. The units are self-catering but also offer breakfast as an option. Mike lives on the property and runs the B&B and welcome guests ensuring your every need is met, while Jeannine takes care of the bookings and handles the admin. Our aim is to ensure you have a carefree, memorable stay.
Mike is a geologist. Jeannine also runs her own B&Bs and enjoys oil painting.
