Once home to shoemakers, this Grade 1 listed Georgian terrace building on a garden square was on the at-risk register when Justin and Charlotte Salisbury stepped in to reboot it. The fifth of their quirky art hotels (see Brighton, where it all began), it makes clever use of the interior space, from compact Broom Cupboard and Shoebox rooms with rainfall shower, through Boot Rooms, Factory, Chapter Street, Workshop and Loft, to the romantic Artist Suite with roll-top bath and walk-in shower. The duplex Lookout has a modern four-poster, a spiral staircase to a roof terrace. Each room is individually styled, with a king-size or super king-size bed, the signature mix of vintage furniture, upcycled pieces, maybe a beautiful arched window, a bare stone wall. In the shabby-chic restaurant, you might breakfast on brioche French toast with vanilla bean mascarpone and poached rhubarb or a full English. In the evenings, you can dine on dishes such as fried artichokes, lemon, aioli; seared red mullet, samphire, langoustine bisque, wild garlic oil, under an artwork by David Buonaguidi which exhorts you to ‘Party Like It’s 1999’.
