    The room was a good size, very clean and cosy. Loved the aesthetic - kept some of the original features but doesn’t feel dated. Lovely little touch of ice cold water and milk in a communal fridge, very much needed in the hot weather we had!

    Very friendly and attentive staff who were very accommodating and couldn't have been more helpful!
