The Thomas Gregg Apartments

10/10 Excellent
"A modern warehouse conversion over 3 levels, clean and comfortable. All messages were answered promptly and check-in instructions emailed with plenty of time. About 10 mins walk from train station, main street about another 5+ mins on. On site parking down small alley, on street parking looked quite busy."
