The bright, light dorms in this ecofriendly hostel are set in converted stables. The central courtyard, ringed by rickety outbuildings, is a great spot to swap travellers' tales.

The mail coaches used to change horses here in Georgian days; today it's a smoothly comfy hotel with tartan carpets, deep terracotta walls and CD players in the rooms.
Ask for a room with a view of the fields edging the moor at this tall Victorian house. Rooms are fairly plain and traditional, except the four-poster one, which is a vivid pink.
The elegant rooms of this sleek retreat feature exposed stone walls, wooden floorboards, satin cushions ...
A friendly, traditional B&B with plain rooms and a tiny courtyard garden.
Expect simple but delightful rooms with stripped wooden floors and clean, pared-down lines, spiced up by dashes of intense colour. The Victorian exterior drips with ivy and all the rooms are named after characters from books or plays.
This hotel's swirling spiral staircase is so gorgeous it's tempting to sleep beside it. But if you did, you'd miss out on the 18th century-with-contemporary-twist bedrooms: expect rococo mirrors, brass bedsteads and plush furnishings.
Improbably, this compact Georgian terrace has its own blue and cream outdoor swimming pool. The floral and pine rooms come in a wide variety of guises, from those with shared bathrooms to a four-poster option.
