    The location? The pub downstairs had good coffee, the boutique rooms and all the body care products (shampoo/conditioner/body wash) were very nice and unique. The coffee provided in the room + the milk.

    It was very comfortable and stylish, like going back in time to the 60's with vintage items in the room. It was peaceful and we had a lovely stay. The staff and manager kind and welcoming.
