A really lovely independent option

This is a great family run Italian restaurant with some very comfortable rooms above this. The food and staff were lovely and it was a good distance from the city centre.

Lovely hotel and restaurant

Really lovely hotel, stayed in the Coach House, lovely decor and surroundings, very pretty court yard. We found the bed a little bit uncomfortable as it was very soft. We were wishing they did breakfast, the food in the restaurant is amazing and I'd imagine they would do fantastic breakfast. Lovely place to stay, highly recommend!

The Inn is quaint, clean and the restaurant downstairs is a nice bonus. Parking was a challenge. It's a busy area and nearby street parking was not available. Pay parking is a 7 minute walk away and costs 25£ for overnight. Something to keep in mind if you are driving.

Small hotel above an Italian restaurant. lovely room, very friendly and helpful staff and brilliant location for Sophia Gardens. Only drawback was that the walls seemed a bit thin and you could hear what was going on above you and especially downstairs in the restaurant when they were moving tables in the morning. Would highly recommend though.
