LoginSave

A characterful option in a handy location above a glorious pub, this delightful hotel offers just six small but sumptuous rooms, each individually decorated and many with roll-top zinc bathtubs. For the ultimate luxury, choose the Market Suite, which has a king-sized bed and its own private rooftop terrace.

You can have breakfast in the splendid Fox & Anchor pub downstairs, which is legendary for its meat-charged Fox's City Breakfast (£20.50). Vegetarians fear not: there are plenty of lovely egg variations, as well as yoghurt and porridge.
