We called to see if we could check in early because we needed to change for a wedding. It was no problem, and they let us into our room early. We found two super-comfortable double beds, and the room was clean.

02/07/2025: Usually have a great time in Square bar and always a top spot to go to but last night(28th June) the bouncer was being in the nicest way possible a complete fool. He said I had tracksuit bottoms on when they were clearly jeans and couldn't let me get a single word in and told me to "buzz off" and go another direction, was calling my friends inside then to tell them I wasn’t let in and then while I was on call he was proceeding to let lads in with cargos on and it just seemed like he had a personal vendetta against me for no reason. After I ended my call he then said “ok from a distance it looked like you had tracksuit bottoms on but there’s no need to be cheeky” dunno how that’s possible when he didn’t even let me speak but alright.

The atmosphere is peaceful. Service is attentive but never rushed. you get the feeling being at home. The food is freshly made.
