The shared kitchen facilities were excellent, it was a bonus to find such a well stocked kitchen and lounge area for the use of the guests. It was very popular with all the guests, it certainly was well attended. The location was very central to the Main Street, easy walking distance to shops restaurants and the river walk. We would be arriving after 6pm, the late check in service was very easy to follow.
