Cozy and Well-Appointed Rooms

“I stayed in a Cozy Single Room, and I must say, it was incredibly comfortable. The bed seemed like sleeping on a cloud, and the ample storage provided added to the convenience. Plus, the large smart TV made it hard to resist staying in and enjoying a movie instead of exploring!” view full review

Amazing Waterfall Shower

“The bathroom was a delight! I enjoyed a relaxing experience every time I used the walk-in waterfall shower. The pressure was strong, and the water temperature was perfectly hot, making my refresh time feel like a spa moment.” view full review

Excellent Entertainment Options

“The room was kitted out with a massive TV that was practically as wide as my bed! It had all the channels and streaming apps I could possibly want for a cozy night in. Additionally, I could rent a Chromecast from the reception to enjoy even more options.” view full review

Delicious Breakfast at the Pub

“Breakfast at the connected pub was good! The atmosphere was lively, and I loved having the option to enjoy a hearty meal just a short walk away from my room. Plus, being able to get a 10% discount as a resident was a nice bonus.” view full review
