What are the rooms like?

My Studio Deluxe had wonderfully high ceilings so felt extremely spacious.
Inside the kitchenette is everything you’d need from a hob, mini fridge and microwave to crockery and cutlery.
My plush kingsize bed was extremely comfortable, and the floor to ceiling curtains blacked out any light for a great night sleep.
A coffee machine, complimentary tea and biscuits were all included, along with a seating area and huge flatscreen TV.
It was an extremely beautiful and cosy room – especially after some time spent in the walk in shower, followed by a fluffy dressing gown and slippers evening.
Rooms start from £198.90. See here.
