Arrived to find my room not yet made up but no problem. Quickly and easily remedied. The room I did get though didn't have a working blind so had to be wary of wandering around in the chuff with the lights on. Nice, clean, quirky room otherwise though and the staff were super friendly and helpful.

The staff were incredible, the location was great and the concept of the hotel was amazing. We loved the cafe just steps away from our room. The only thing that could be improved is the cleanliness of the shower.
