Enter this proud 1830s townhouse through the carriageway and past a bar-lounge. Up the historical spiral staircase, 16 guest rooms vary in size and style; some have exposed beams, others are mildly chintzy and some are renovated in a bolder style (albeit with oddly kitschy dog portraiture). There’s a decent breakfast and pretty garden. Parking costs extra.
