    The room was lovely, very clean and modern - the comfiest bed I've slept on. The staff were helpful and always on hand if needed. The breakfast was included in the stay, which I thought was a nice touch, and it was delicious too!

    The decor was so unique and quirky! The staff were more than accommodating. The complimentary cocktail whilst getting ready for dinner was the cherry ontop of the cake, so unexpected and such a lovely touch! Getting to meet Florence was brilliant,...
