TRAVEL
On making my booking, Mark Gibson the General Manager with his very friendly and relaxed phone manner, recommended their newest themed room which was launched in February 2017. This is the Koibioto Love Room, located on the first floor, and includes a raised bamboo platform and a Japanese geisha graffiti wall. The the overall ambience is of serenity and exotic erotica.
I was mystified just looking at the wall art in the room, it took me away into its depths, and this ambience was further enhanced by the different lighting that created any mood you wished for.
The design for this room was a joint effort by the present hotel team and the Koibito brand of products. Koibito means lover in Japanese and this is a brand that creates and sells packages of beautiful sensual gifts, delicious knickers, and all sort of packaged extras for those who want a bit of coaxing to perfect a wild night in.
The 19 themed rooms are all unique and some of the themes include Pinup Parlour, Betty’s Boudoir, Do Knit Disturb, Soul Supreme. You can see them on the hotel website, but I recommend you call and speak to the staff before booking as they will direct you the best choice dependant on what you are after. I can assure you a night in one of these
A warm, seductive but edgy room with all the comforts you could imagine and a reminder that life is to be full of love and awe. This was my take on the Koibito room.
rooms will be an experience you won’t easily forget. I simply must mention the super breakfast. I have always loved hotel breakfasts, but this was memorable due to the individual attention to what you wanted on your plate, the quality ingredients and the intimate rock and roll surroundings. Make sure you order the Brighton sausage. Also, don’t be surprised if you spot a celebrity during breakfast at the next table. You don’t need to be staying at the hotel to enjoy its unconventional but superb approach to hospitality. the bar and even the rooms can be adapted to suit your needs: hen parties, stag parties, music nights and any other get-together. >>
