The spacious rooms, some named after beer types, include modern amenities such as a fridge, oven, and dishwasher; plus, the inclusion of a welcome drink and shower beer is a much-appreciated touch, though some have noted the shower beer is not always present.

Really good Stay

quality teawelcome drinkvinyl selectionseparate sitting area
I appreciated the high standard of finish in the rooms.. the kitchenette had thoughtful extras like quality tea. The free welcome drink at check-in was a nice touch. There was a great selection of vinyls in the room for the record player. I liked having the separate sitting area. A beer in the shower was provided and a welcome drink at the bar upon check-in was lovely. The staff were very helpful and cute. I found the little personal touches superb.
Some sockets in the living room area did not work.
