    The layout of the room could be done better but hey I'm not an interior designer. I'm sure the beds are arrange around the TV. FYI the fire alarm went off when we stayed there and I didn't hear it as I had earplugs in but my friend woke me

    Boutique hotel in a historic warehouse conversion for which it has won awards. We stayed in Grove balcony room #28 which was very spacious and private with no other rooms on either side. The bathroom and living room is kitted out with designer fixtures and fittings in moss tones which we want for home! The underfloor heating kept hiking gear dry and the water pressure/ rain shower head is one of the best. Grown Alchemist toiletries are provided (which we've also ordered for home).
