This charming warren of 33 rooms has been built within a row of 18th-century Georgian townhouses and fitted out with period furniture (including a museum-piece collection of Victorian baths, showers and toilets), original wood panelling shipped over from Ireland and artwork selected by the owner. Highlights include the small courtyard garden and the library with its honesty bar and working fireplace.
The hotel doesn't have a kitchen but room service is available round the clock, including a hearty continental breakfast option (£12) of a bakers' basket, salmon or bacon rolls, fruit etc.
