the college hotel
The College Hotel is housed in a former 19th century school, and in fact it still is, because it is staffed with students from the Hotel Management school. The old classrooms have been converted into about 40 elegant contemporary rooms, there's a large lounge bar, and the former gym now is a restaurant. As you might expect the service sometimes is a bit below standard, but the modern-classic 19th century interior with high ceilings, oversized fireplaces and sweeping staircases makes up for that.
