Truely wonderful place to stay

This is a truely amazing place to stay. The decor is amazing, staff are wonderful and location is fantastic. We stayed 4 nights and loved everything about the place, breakfast is amazing (and staff super accommodating with different ‘off menu’ requests) and access to a mini kitchen also made life much easier for grabbing a coffee of storing a beer during the day :) Will absolutely be making a return visit and almost hesitant to give a good review as it may make getting a room even harder ;)
