This place has tidy self-contained units sleeping up to five, horseshoeing around the garden and outdoor barbecue area. Externally it’s all faux-Victorian lace and brickwork, but inside things are a little more stylish, with mod bathrooms and kitchenettes. Walking distance to the historic site. Cheaper for multinight stays.
