An affordable, friendly alternative to Broadway's historic hotels, this bow-windowed 16th-century honeyed-stone B&B has cottage-style bedrooms, a cosy sitting room with log burner, a sunny rear garden where you might sit with a drink from the honesty bar, and a flagstone-floored parlour where you can breakfast on home-baked breads and smoothies.
