This prize-winning design statement is housed inside the former Crutched Friar monastery complex, dating from 1483. Modern touches, such as moulded furniture and padded walls, accent the historical surroundings. Each of the 60 sumptuous rooms is unique. Some have murals and artwork; others are in the rafters of the old church. Breakfast is suitably heavenly.
There are only three of the cheapest 'Petit' rooms. Note that while there are lifts, some rooms still involve stairs, whether internal or for access. Valet parking costs €34 per night on-site.
