Great weekend stay at The Lighthorseman, spotlessly clean room and bathroom, landlord and staff most welcoming, huge breakfast! Decent selection of food on menu. Walkable distance to the city centre but there is a bus stop about 5 minutes away and taxis are plentiful. I would definitely recommend.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Ups: centered, convenient, free parking, quiet, Victorian style, walking distance from the shambles and major attractions and some other things. The cons: open until 3 pm, some weird noises from the walls, thin walls and you can hear your neighbors, the teapot was dirty. The Ibar it’s open until 11. but at the end it’s a really nice place to stay.
