At a glance
Dairy Guest House is a bed and breakfast in a restored Victorian town house, with a setting suited to city breaks and short stays. The property retains original architectural details, including stained and etched glass, pitch-pine doors, a traditional staircase, cast-iron fireplace grates and decorative ceiling cornices and roses. These features give the accommodation a period character while the guesthouse format keeps the stay straightforward and practical.
The house is arranged around a flower-filled courtyard, with further accommodation in a stable block designed in a cottage style. The stable-block rooms are on the ground floor, offering an alternative to the rooms within the main house. The accommodation includes single, twin, double, superking and king-size four-poster options, with en-suite facilities listed for each room type. This range gives solo visitors, couples and travelling companions several room configurations to consider.
Breakfast is included with the accommodation, and vegetarian provision is listed among the facilities. Free Wi-Fi and credit card acceptance add useful conveniences for visitors spending time in the city. Local on-street parking permits are available, while the guesthouse's central position makes it practical for sightseeing without placing the stay in a large hotel setting.
The property stands just south of the medieval city walls, within an easy stroll of the city's attractions and museums. Its combination of period details, cottage-style rooms and a courtyard setting suits visitors looking for a traditional guesthouse atmosphere close to the main sightseeing area. The mix of room sizes also makes it adaptable for different kinds of short breaks, from a solo visit to a stay shared by two people.
