Enjoyed the atmosphere and complimentary beer, but a bit noisy probably due to the pub event downstair.

Relaxing stay The bed was very comfortable, and the shower was spacious with a refreshing waterfall design. The room was extremely quiet, making for a relaxing stay.

Weekend in reading We did not eat in the bar area so can’t comment on food. Room was lovely, the only down side was the tiny tea cups, would prefer a mug for morning tea, especially when breakfast not an option. Good location but unfortunately not able to use roof top bar due to private parties
