Enjoyed my comfortable stay at the final night of our stay. The staff were incredibly welcoming and pleasant and helpful with requests. The food was great, reasonably priced. The location was marvellous, near to lovely bars, restaurants, shops and main attractions and restaurant as fully booked, and the view was priceless. It was nice for getting to North Laine.
