    Easy late check in, couldn't do laundry after a certain time (around 5-6pm) so worth knowing if anyone was planning on that. Comfy beds, good common room with lots of games. We were there in April so no gigs or anything on

    Very Special location and very friendly team. We‘ve enjoyed our stay and would for sure come back.

    Absolutely charming, delightful, soulful and unique! Often places with such wonderful character can sadly be run down or poorly served. That is absolutely not the case with the Freezer. It’s truly one of the most unique, enjoyable and friendly...
