First class Hotel, staff and breakfast
Pros:

Everything was perfect, the rooms were spacious, bed was comfy, staff super friendly and helpful - breakfast was absolutely first class, hot food was piping hot, cold water was ice cold and so was the milk. An astounding 10/10 from me and my boy - if we are in area again we will stay at The Niu, Loom - first class ❤️❤️❤️

Cons:

Everything was great - even the coffee and tea not being in rooms, think having better quality coffee for free in hotel much better.
