    The interior design of the room was absolutely gorgeous and made for great photo ops. We were greeted with beers both at the bar and in the room. The room was big and the bed was comfortable. We had a great coffee machine in there too! Also, the staff is as lovely as you'd expect Brewdog staff to be :)
