A wonderful stay, with a few squeaky floors.
I thought the place was amazing, much more spacious that I had imagined and the split level flooring for the kitchenette/living space was so nice! I’ll admit the shower was probably the best part though! The only fault I could give would be the squeaky flooring, which made getting up and going to the toilet during the night almost impossible…

Excellent stay
Hannah and Erin on reception were excellent, very welcoming and lovely.
Room was superb, very comfortable stay and lovely amenities.
Great location and very easy to find.
My only observation is that the back bar and the fridges looked very bare when sat at the bar. Made it feel like it was an afterthought - saying that, I would definitely stay there again and can't wait to try some of their other locations.
