St Martin's House

It’s spacious here with two generous sitting rooms, a dining room, sunny conservatory kitchen and a snug reading room so you’ll never feel on top of one another. Lovely to sink into one of the many inviting sofas and sit by the real fire with a book if the weather keeps you indoors. On sunny days you’ll be out in the paved garden which spans the width of the house and has raised beds with evergreen shrubs and trees and two seating areas. It’s remarkably quiet for the middle of town.

Settle down in roomy bedrooms with good antiques and pictures, large bedside lamps, thick curtains and plentiful cushions on well-dressed beds. All en suite bathrooms are pristine and there are Molton Brown soaps – you’ll feel like you’re staying in a smart hotel. Cook together in the kitchen-with-everything, eat convivially in the turquoise dining room.

Wander into town in minutes for charming shops, good restaurants and an excellent theatre.
