Good to Know Before You Book
Mardon is set up mainly for guests arriving by car. Public transport is limited in the immediate area, so a car or taxi is recommended.
The property sits beside the A96 and close to the railway. Some guests may notice road or rail noise, particularly in front-facing rooms. If you are looking for a silent rural retreat or a walkable city-centre address, take this into account before booking.
Both properties have a minimum stay of two nights. Smoking, pets, parties, hen parties and stag parties are not permitted. Children are welcome, but cots and extra beds are not available.
