FunkyTown Self-Catering

They recognised an opportunity in recycling the structure and its material to put together a cosy yet glamorous venue for tourists.

The guest rooms are spacious and have minibar and tea and coffee-making facilities.

A fabulous, shared kitchen is next to the bar; designed for patrons to socialise. The other public areas are separate so that the noise does not carry. These rooms include lounges and a dining area.
