The Snug Townhouse

The Snug Townhouse

10/10 Excellent
"So pleasantly surprised by this stay! The rooms are nicely equipped and smart - lots of storage and hooks and useful amenities. It is across from a very lively nightspot/bar but they give you ear plugs. The bed was very hard so the sleep wasn't the greatest, but the location and well-appointed room make up for it."
