Bow Street Studios
Excellent location. Situated on the waterside, east walking to local cafes, shops, walks. Premises clean and plenty of space. 2bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, very serviceable, decor could use a refresh, however we spent most of our time out and about seeing the sites. Would definitely recommend
