The Honeymoon Suite is a private twin room, with two single beds and a private ensuite shower room. Located on the first floor with a rear facing window overlooking the courtyard, the suite provides privacy, peace and quiet.
Wifi is available for free and linen and towels are provided, with the beds pre-made with soft cosy bedding. A light breakfast is included for each morning of your stay.
Leeds based artist Emma Bentley Fox has used this room to create a warm, nostalgic and hopeful space. Wanting to avoid using clichés around heteronormative romantic narratives, she is interested in representing co-dependency, independence, platonic love, and queer relationships, with nods and allusions to queer culture and tokens of ‘broken’ relationships, that our visitors might recognise and see themselves reflected in.
Her use of second hand items and personal and found artefacts asks the question ‘what can objects tell us about their owners?’.
Emma also explores the queering/subversion of ‘kitsch’ items and imagery, questioning specifically typically ‘British’ taste and class. She uses preloved items, items often considered as ‘trashy’ to create a space and artefacts, that is – in some ways – considered ‘tasteful’. Emma has used a range of materials, texture and colours to create a sensory experience so that the room may be experienced and enjoyed in more ways than one.
