★   ★   ★    ★

 

A fairly atmospheric upmarket choice whose communal areas lack a little natural light but offer character and comfort all the same. Handy for transport links, it’s in a good central location that seems to escape most of the hustle and bustle without being that far from the sights. Onsite garage parking available for a fee. Bicycle rent is also offered.

Exterior

Agreeable traditional terrace building with stonework at ground level, window shutters and covered pavement entrance.

Property type: Hotel

Storeys: 4

Interior

A rather sumptuous, albeit dark interior with plenty of dark wood panelling and comfortable quality furnishings incorporates an inviting intimate lounge with leather armchairs surrounding a large stone fireplace. Bright and airy first floor cocktail bar has a relaxing feel to it with a small outdoor cosy corner terrace. The breakfast room has a traditional feel and is also used as another bar in the evenings – serving a pleasant outdoor courtyard with wrought-iron furnishings and some mature trees and shrubs.

Rooms: 60
