    Bed comfortable, shower great. At least the bathroom had good lighting except for the position of the light over the mirror so you stood in your own shadow. (Again sack your designers!) Enjoyed the breakfast and the Reception staff were lovely.

    The location was perfect for exploring on foot. The breakfast was very good, with a wide selection of hot and cold choices to suit all tastes. The interior design of the public spaces was very stylish, and we loved the original print work facade. The restaurant served lovely food at reasonable prices.

    Aesthetically the hostel has been beautiful designed - bringing back to life the features of the stunning building. Hints of boutique hotel rather than hostel. It was also very quiet and felt very safe for our family.

    The entire experience was so well thought about. The quality of everything from the bedding to the crockery was exceptional. A few lovely bottles of Prosecco and sweet treats were there to greet you. The hut was beautiful with fabulous interior design and exceptional attention to detail. The hot tub was lovely and the views were stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back. Thanks Heather for being such a great host. We would thoroughly recommend to anybody 😍😍

    The staff were all very friendly and helpful, the complimentary tea and coffee in the foyer is a lovely bonus. Looks very modern, chic and trendy. The room layout, design is very good and the shower is lovely, especially the very non slip tiles. Interior design is good. Phone charging points brilliant at The Diner Tables, and TV system great with Comcast.
