The space Set in a 1930's period building, this ground floor corner apartment set at the back of the building, away from busy Queens Road, is bright with plenty of space to stretch out and relax. The living room features an over-sized sofa and ottoman; the sofa also functions as an optional metal-action pull-out queen size sofa bed (standard booking is based on 2 sharing the main bed). Heating is supplied by a gas fire which helps keep the room snug on those cold winter days. The bedroom features a queen size bed with a large mirror-fronted wardrobe giving guests plenty of hanging and storage space. The bedroom also has its own tv with smart tv functions so you can stream your favourite shows. There is a panel wall heater for warmth in the winter and blackout blinds and curtains.

The bathroom has a rainfall shower over the bath and heat lamps on the ceiling for those colder days.
