Great property, had a duplex which was nice. I wouldn’t recommend the room for anyone who doesn’t link short steep steps. Room was great, loads of space, everything you needed to cater for yourself, and just chill out after a day or night out. Great staff in reception, and some decent cocktails behind the bar.

Nice but noisy.
Really nice little apartment. Excellent facilities and great location. Just don’t expect a lie in. Walls are paper thin and all you can hear all morning from very early is doors banging every 10 minutes.

Weekend away
A great stay & good location. We normally stay at Native, so this was a good alternative. Great having a washing machine & tablets included. Staff all very friendly & helpful. Would have like to be able to check-in before 4pm. This is very late, especially for a weekend away. Also the bed was just a double (1-bed suite) & I would expect a King or Super king.

Great location, venue and facilities. Staff were superb. Felt like kitchen area was a little dark but as we only stayed for one night it wasn’t an issue so didn’t follow it up.
