Beaufort Guest House

This place oozes with charm and style. We stayed in room no. 9 at the back of the hotel, the room was a little small so I'd not recommend if have large suitcases but fine for a few days. The shower was amazing a true torrent of hot water. The bed was luxurious and nice fat lump pillows. Breakfast is served on tables filled with wonderful pieces of crockery and cutlery (a sugar bowl that was a miniature coal scuttle and shovel). The food was of high quality, lovely thick bacon with the fat crisped to perfection. All the staff are friendly and helpful and I would stay here again, so close to city. However as we left we were told that the Gust House is being sold and is returning to a private house. A sad loss, but it will be a wonderful house for a lucky family.

Like stepping back in time to an era that took a pride in providing a quality experience. Independent guest house, no frills but every detail taken care of. Furnished in sympathy with its Victorian heritage it was still homely and very comfortable. The breakfast was exceptional - not necessarily in range of cold buffet, but in the quality of the ingredients and the care taken in the preparation and presentation. Lovely place and I would recommend it to those who want to relax in a homely and welcoming environment.

An overnight stay for a family event Great location near to Sophia Gardens and the castle Rooms nice and large, maybe a little tired around the edges, especially the bathroom but still great 'shabby chic' Breakfast great and the staff vert attentive Wifi a little patchy, but room warm and comfy, lovely and quiet too and happily return in future
