higgihaus (#5, Sleeps 14-16). Hens. Stags. Big Groups.

## Space

The higgihaus@butecrescent is a beautifully appointed and stylish five-storey Grade 11 listed house that was, until recently, operating as a highly rated boutique hotel. Located in an awesome location in Cardiff Bay only moments from the bars, restaurants and leisure attractions of Mermaid Quay this large house is comprised of seven spacious and beautifully appointed ensuite bedrooms, an amazing and cavernous basement kitchen, dining and sitting room that is perfect for groups on a hen or stag weekend, and off-road parking for up to five cars.

The kitchen, diner and sitting room in the basement is HUGE. The kitchen contains everything a budding Gordon Ramsey and team of sous-chefs might conceivably need to cater for the hungry hordes: A huge gas hob, two ovens, a combination microwave oven, an American-style fridge freezer, and a large capacity dishwasher. The dining table can accommodate 16 diners. There’s also a separate breakfast station that incorporates an extra fridge in case the large fridge can’t accommodate the weekend’s beer or wine!

At one end of the basement is a large sitting area equipped with sofas, bean bags, and a 60inch large screen TV. Between the sitting area and the dining table, there's plenty of room for higgihausmates to play board games, read, listen to music, watch Freeview TV, catch a movie (Netflix) or just relax and unwind with a cold beer or glass of wine.

In the bedrooms, you'll find comfortable mattresses, crisp cotton linens and duvets and pillows that are as soft as a bag of kittens. Two of the bedrooms contain zip and link beds that can be set up as either a kingsize or two singles.

The higgihaus@butecrescent is perfect for large groups visiting the city for a 'milestone' event like a hen or stag weekend. The basement is huge, the walls are thick and the neighbours are a mix of pubs, bars, restaurants, supermarkets and leisure venues. Please, however, do note that whilst we're delighted to host hen or stag groups visiting the city, this is subject to review and acceptance of the house rules. PLEASE NOTE: This property will sleep up to 16. The price quoted is for up to 14. For each additional guest, you'll need to add £140 inclusive of VAT and cleaning for a 2-night stay on the weekend.


## Access

The front door to the building has a keyless entry system, and you will be given the entry code 24 hours prior to check-in. Video cameras are provided front and rear for your comfort and safety.

## Interaction

The higgihaus@butecrescent is a self-contained house for your exclusive use during your stay in Cardiff. There is no need for you to interact with us but should you need anything we'd be delighted to help. #teamhiggi are a friendly bunch who love Cardiff and are a veritable goldmine of places to see, things to do, restaurants to eat at, bars worth a visit, and how to get about. We'll provide contact numbers ahead of check-in (feel free to call and say hi).

## Neighborhood

higgihaus@butecrescent is a mere stone's throw from Cardiff’s stunning waterfront leisure destination at Mermaid Quay (so close in fact that it would be a pretty poor throw of the stone). Home to 30+ restaurants, bars, and cafés, Mermaid Quay also plays host to a comedy club, an Everyman Cinema, and the Aquabus waterbus service that offers trips around the Bay and beyond and to the city centre. The centre of Cardiff is less than 8 minutes distant by car and is easily reached by train, bus or taxi.

##Transit

Parking

The higgihaus@butecrescent has off-road parking at the rear of the property and with a little bit of juggling, could accommodate up to five cars (depending on size!). Should you have more cars than can park at the rear, then the 380-capacity Mermaid Quay car park is but a one-minute walk away.
