Friendly former
farmer Richard has done a great job transforming this heritage-listed early-Georgian
house into an upmarket B&B, retaining the period atmosphere without scrimping on com-
fort. Each of the three antique-strewn bedrooms has a private bathroom, but only one is en
suite.

; Castle Sq; r/ste £90/110; )
Behind the bright yellow
door of this 1833 terrace house are three well-appointed B&B rooms and an extremely
cute Westie terrier, whose portrait graces many a wall. Two of the rooms have claw-foot
tubs, while all have Egyptian cotton sheets and goose-down duvets.

Head Inn & Townhouse

; Castle St; s/d from £80/100; )
These sister properties, loc-
ated just across the road from each other, provide quite a contrast. Where the Bulls Head
accommodation is historic and elegant, the Townhouse is contemporary, high tech and
design driven. Breakfast for both is served at the former.

The nine bed-
rooms in this fine pale-green Georgian town house are all very different: some have
Jacuzzis, others have four-poster beds; some have an antique sensibility, others have
quirky modern wallpaper. Heavenly mattresses are a constant throughout.
