Conversion

This cracking local is not far from the town centre in a Grade II*-listed building with a bar, two lounges and a dining room. It was built in early C20 in Arts & Craft style as a doctor's surgery and house and was voted the best house in Britain in 1907. It later became a hotel. Many original fittings survive including an inglenook fireplace and curved wooden doors to the bar.
